A collar I can re-line instead of replacing — Design Lab | KINDRED
The strap outlives the lining by years. A lining that could be swapped out — a few euros instead of a whole new piece — would change how long one object lasts.

Other Design Lab ideas
- Standard interchangeable connectors — Every maker uses a different fitting, so nothing is compatible with anything. If connectors were standard, one set of cuffs could work with any strap.
- A blindfold that is genuinely washable — Silk feels right and cannot be machine washed. Coated fabric washes easily and feels cheap. Something that washes hot and still feels good against the face.
- Published measurements, not vague sizes — S, M, L tells me nothing. I want actual measurements, weight and hardware specs on every listing so I can compare two products without guessing.
- A charging tray for the whole collection — A dedicated storage and charging station that lets multiple devices charge at the same time without searching for individual cables.
- Better signals for compatibility — A way to share useful signals about communication style, boundaries, relationship expectations and pace without turning a niche community into another swipe-based dating app.
