The Anglican Church of Korea planned this eco-friendly priest shirt production to fulfill its social responsibility for protecting the global environment and to convey the church's message accordingly. RAKCODE, as a leading upcycling-based fashion brand in Korea, sympathized with the positive influence of the Anglican Church of Korea and proceeded with this project.

The eco-friendly priest shirts for the Anglican Church of Korea are characterized by being made from eco-friendly fabrics using plant-derived and recycled materials. The pockets were made using leftover scraps from RAKCODE's upcycling of Taean Coast Guard uniforms into women's vests last year, commemorating the Coast Guard Day. While maintaining the formal framework of priest shirts, the use of eco-friendly materials and patchwork aimed to convey the meaning of sustainability.

Park Seon-ju, head of RAKCODE's design office, said, "Since last year, RAKCODE has been proposing to various artists and brands in different fields to join sustainability efforts," adding, "Through producing these eco-friendly priest shirts, we want to once again suggest that there are no restrictions or limits to efforts for sustainability."
