Lydia Bolton
Overview
Lydia was commissioned by Lime to design and produce a cycle-ready collection that helped people overcome the barriers to cycling.
The resulting Re-Cycle Collection is a limited-edition, cycle-friendly fashion line designed to encourage sustainable travel. The collection, made entirely from second-hand clothing sourced from charity retailer TRAID and waste fabric, showcased Lydia’s signature upcycling approach while breaking down barriers to greener movement.
Lydia designed a four-piece, unisex collection featuring adaptable coats, reflective hi-vis vests, on-the-go shorts, and clothing clips - each crafted for both style and practicality. The pieces were designed to be seamlessly incorporated into daily outfits or packed away after riding.
The collection dropped exclusively on eBay, with 100% of proceeds donated to Friends of the Earth and was displayed at Lime’s ‘Re-Cycle’ pop-up event at BOXPARK Shoreditch.
Details
The campaign received widespread press coverage from publications including Evening Standard, Hypebae, TimeOut, Woo, The Industry Fashion, and The Glossary, highlighting fashion as a catalyst to reshape consumer behaviour and advance environmental responsibility. Lydia’s campaign content on Instagram received over 5.8K interactions, sparking conversations about upcycled fashion and accessible green transport.
Through her collaboration with Lime, Lydia demonstrated how fashion and sustainability can intersect to drive meaningful change. By transforming waste textiles into fashionable and functional pieces, she highlighted the importance of upcycling while making sustainable travel more accessible and inspiring audiences to embrace a greener lifestyle.
