DHL Express has launched the DHL x Absurd Laboratory BFFS Upcycled Collection with Hong Kong fashion designer Eric Wong, featuring accessories crafted from retired courier uniforms.
The initiative follows a similar project launched by the company in February last year.
Wong, who won the DHL GoGreen Plus Alumni Prize in the Redress Design Award 2025, said the recognition sparked the journey to bring the concept to life.
Through the blends of everyday wearability and experimental design, he reimagined retired DHL polo shirts and cargo pants as a two-way bucket hat and sling bag, unisex clogs, and a pair of bear pendants with movable limbs. Items were priced between HK$239 and $899 (US$30 to $115).
“By upcycling retired DHL courier uniforms, I wanted to give overlooked materials a new narrative – creating contemporary, desirable accessories with a strong story of sustainability and circular design,” Wong said.
The collaboration also includes a charitable sale of the collection in partnership with Hong Kong-based environmental NGO Redress, with profits to support emerging designers who champion sustainability and circularity in their work.
“We are proud to stand alongside Redress in advancing sustainability and circularity efforts in Hong Kong’s fashion industry,” said Andy Chiang, senior VP and MD of DHL Express Hong Kong and Macau.
To reinforce the project’s sustainability commitment, DHL confirms that all international orders will be shipped via the GoGreen Plus service, which uses sustainable aviation fuel to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The limited-edition accessories are now available online.
