Gab Bois Revives Y2K Gadgets With Refurbished Tech Platform, Back Market
Crafted entirely from e-waste.
If you’re looking for new tech pieces, whether that be a phone, headphones or anything tech-related, Back Market is where you need to go.
In a one-of-a-kind collaboration with Montreal-based artist Gab Bois, the refurbished tech platform has launched a limited-edition collection of fashion pieces crafted from e-waste. Titled “F/W 2005: Hardwear Collection,” the range includes items like a balaclava made from old earbuds, a camera coin purse, a Discman reimagined as a compact mirror and a flip phone belt which has already been seen on Julia Fox.

Every purchase from this collection helps support the charity — Right to Repair U.S. and EU. According to Back Market’s website, the charity’s mission is all about giving tech devices a longer life by making repair a fundamental right and making refurbishment more accessible for everyone. It’s a perfect way to give back while picking up something unique.
“F/W 2005: Hardwear Collection” is available for purchase in the U.S. and France on Back Market online.
