    This research addresses the design and development of a collection of men's accessories (watch strap, card holder and key ring) made by using denim scraps from garment workshops in San Pedro de Pelileo. The study is based on the principles of circular economy for the transformation of textile waste into commercial products, simultaneously contributing to the reduction of industrial waste and the generation of economic opportunities for local industry. The identified problem comprises two critical dimensions: the environmental impact derived from denim waste and the limited supply of sustainable accessories aimed at the male segment. This situation highlighted the need to develop solutions that integrate innovation in materials, sustainability narratives and commercial viability. The methodology used adopted a qualitative approach. The exploratory phase included structured interviews with textile entrepreneurs and owners of accessories establishments, complemented with a focus group directed to users that fit the consumer profile. At the same time, tests were carried out to evaluate the compatibility of the patches with rigid epoxy resin and flexible polyester. The process included the stages of patch selection, impregnation, three-dimensional molding, curing, laser cutting and final finishing. The results culminated in the proposal of a collection of men's accessories, establishing a short series production scheme that is adaptable to the capacities of local workshops. Future recommendations include the implementation of full life cycle analysis, experimentation with bio-based resins and the development of surplus shredding techniques to optimize the integral use of textile waste.
