    This study addressed the issue of the accumulation and underutilization of denim textile scraps generated during the cutting and sewing processes at Faditex, a company located in the San Pedro de Pelileo district, Tungurahua province. This situation highlights the need to implement sustainable strategies within the textile industry that reduce the environmental impact caused by pre-consumer waste while simultaneously generating new opportunities for innovation and added value. In this context, the study aimed to design a collection of multifunctional bags made from denim textile scraps through upcycling processes, designed to meet the functional, aesthetic, and contemporary needs of the company’s direct consumers. The research was conducted using a qualitative and experimental approach, through a literature review of references related to sustainable design, textile reuse, denim, and upcycling. Thus, techniques of observation, material experimentation, and analysis of the physical and functional properties of denim textile remnants were applied to determine their viability in the construction of multifunctional accessories. During the design process, criteria related to functionality, ergonomics, aesthetics, and innovation were integrated, enabling the development of adaptable and transformable designs that align with current market trends. The results showed that denim textile scraps possess characteristics suitable for reuse in the production of multifunctional bags, enabling the creation of functional, durable, and visually appealing products. Similarly, it was determined that the application of upcycling helps reduce textile waste and contributes to strengthening practices related to the circular economy within the company. Finally, it was concluded that sustainable design applied to the development of accessories constitutes a viable alternative for integrating innovation, functionality, and environmental responsibility within the Ecuadorian textile industry, while simultaneously strengthening Faditex’s competitiveness and market differentiation.
