Urban Renewal Remade Pieced Towel Short. Remade from vibrant beach towels, these shorts feature a cheeky, micro silhouette with an elastic waistband. This modern design was created by Urban Renewal from unique vintage and deadstock items found around the world. Though similar in style to what you see here, each upcycled item is one-of-a-kind and may vary from piece to piece. From the beginning, giving new life to used and vintage goods has been a core part of what we believe in at Urban Outfitters. In 1983, we created Urban Renewal, a brand focused on repurposed, remade, and one-of-a-kind vintage goods. Today, Urban Renewal represents and expresses our commitment to sustainability, circularity, and reducing our impact on the environment.
