LOFO (Lost & Found) is an initiative by CIS Alumni to develop a circular, self-sustaining ecosystem for alumni and school apparel made from sustainable materials: finding new homes for old things.
It is an ode to the lost-and-found bins of our child hoods, where lost or missing things are kept until they are found again.
LOFO is a small batch crewneck sweater in a slim modern silhouette, designed by CIS alums.
It is made from discarded CIS school uniforms that have gone through The Billie System, an award-winning technology that deconstructs and upcycles used materials in a waterless process lowering harmful effects to the environment. This is combined with cashmere and recycled cotton that’s insulating and soft to touch.
