Dars Juson is Co-Founder & Creative Director at REPAMANA.REPAMANA is a circular social enterprise based in Quezon City, Philippines, dedicated to repurposing discarded hotel textiles into a variety of products, including ready-to-wear garments and renewed hotel amenities. Founded by creative entrepreneur Darius "Dars" Jireh Juson, along with collaborators Allesandra Gutierrez and Earl Marquez, the initiative addresses the significant environmental impact of textile waste, particularly from the hospitality industry. The brand's name, REPAMANA, reflects its mission: "RE" signifies repurposing, while "PAMANA" is the Filipino word for inheritance, symbolizing the transformation of discarded materials into valuable items that can be cherished across generations. Their debut collection, "Chapter 0: Origins," features elevated pambahay (loungewear) crafted from upcycled hotel bedsheets, emphasizing longevity, versatility, and functionality.This episode is recorded live at Benilde HIFI in Manila.
