Join us in our journey, thread by thread.
In everything that we do, we ask ourselves,
"How can we honour beauty
without burdening the planet?"
From raw fabric to refined silhouette,
every step is a mindful act.
Between the print and the piece lies intention:
Product
A process shaped by care, craft, and conscious choice.
Our values are not just sewn in,
but stitched with purpose.
OUR ONGOING JOURNEY
We didn't arrive at sustainability overnight.
It’s been a step-by-step process: thoughtful, evolving, and deeply personal.
A Purposeful Start
2009
Reckless Ericka began rooted in thoughtful design and conscious production.
In the early days, every piece was made in Singapore, working closely with local factories and seamstresses. As factories gradually closed, we shifted production overseas with partners who share our values. We continue to support local seamstresses through paid alterations, honouring the hands that first shaped our journey.
Prints with Purpose
2019
2019 marked a creative and conscious shift in our journey.
It began with a search for printmaking factories who aligned with our values. When we finally found the right partners and the Singapore Food Series was born. It was a celebration of local culture and craft. Printed on more sustainable materials using low-waste digital techniques, each piece became a canvas for stories, designed with care, intention and meaning.
A Complete Transition
2020
In 2020, we made a pledge to ourselves – to use only more sustainable fabrics across all our collections. And we’ve honoured that promise ever since.
This commitment continues to shape everything we do, from the fibres we choose to the way each garment is crafted. It’s our way of designing with responsibility and creating with intention.
Rewriting the End of Each Garment
2021
To us, sustainability extends far beyond how a piece is made. It’s also about what happens after.
In 2021, we introduced REnew, a circular initiative that breathes new life into past-season Reckless Ericka garments through thoughtful restyling and repair. It’s our way of extending the story, not just the lifespan.
We deepened our commitment to community by partnering with Safe Place, supporting women through programmes that reflect our shared values of compassion, dignity and care.
Upcycling with Singapore Airlines
2022
We partnered with Singapore Airlines to create the SIA x Reckless Ericka capsule — transforming retired aircraft materials into meaningful lifestyle pieces. With each creation, we honoured the past while extending the legacy of aviation through craftsmanship and conscious reinvention.
Conservation Through Design: Mandai Wildlife Reserve x Reckless Ericka
2023
In 2023, we unveiled a heartfelt collaboration with Mandai Wildlife Reserve, inspired by Singapore’s rich biodiversity.
Each piece features hand-illustrated prints that celebrate the zoo's animals, inviting wearers to carry the stories of nature with them. Through thoughtful design and storytelling, we spotlight conservation in a way that feels intimate, imaginative and deeply connected.
From digital patterning to low-impact fabrics, we continue refining our approach.
Sustainability for us is not a finish line. It's a quiet, ongoing revolution built on care, craft, and the belief that every step matters.
We’re not perfect. But we’re committed.
To honouring the hands behind each garment.
To giving meaning to what we wear and how we wear it.
This is our quiet revolution. Thank you for journeying with us.
