PRIMURY

Primury is a contemporary unisex footwear brand and lifestyle collective. Established in London in 2014, the collective aims to embrace multidisciplinary fields such as photography, art and technology while they reinterpret and modernize classic sneaker ideals. The brand takes its name from the word “primary”, the idea of the earliest time or order. The shoes themselves are hand-crafted in Portugal and offer a paired back twist on archetypal shoe styles such as the school plimsoll, the oxford and the golf kiltie shoe. The Primury collective share a desire to develop products that become everyday staples, with their playfully simple and do-it- yourself approach to design.

Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2019: Sustainability Never Looked So Good

Sustainability is a vast and complex issue. At Avery Dennison, we work with brands and retailers to turn these challenges into opportunities. Our practices of designing, developing and testing sustainable products, systems and strategies underpin everything we do. We strive to be a force for good in the apparel and footwear industry, collaborating with our partners to reduce environmental impact and advance the circular economy. At Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2019, Avery Dennison presented the Design Studio, an interactive, inspirational space that showcased a variety of solutions dedicated to supporting the design and creative community.

For a limited edition release we collaborated with Primury on the design and development of a dynamic Component Weave™ fabric made with a new innovation, Albert Yarn. The resulting product reflected the playfully simple yet conscious ethos of the Primury team. By reusing our own waste to give it a new life it allows us to recycle more and work towards landfill-free operations. Find out more about this solution below.
