Upcycling

Upcycle with Us

Fashion shouldn’t cost the planet and exploit people. We’re committed to changing what you wear and how we make it. Complete transparency, respect and no green washing.

Upcycling garments involves transforming old or unused clothing items into new and improved pieces, rather than discarding them. Here are some ways to upcycle garments:

  •  Patchwork and Quilting : Use fabric scraps to create patchwork designs on clothing or turn them into quilts or blankets.
  •  Dyeing and Printing : Refresh the color of old garments with fabric dye or add new designs through printing techniques like block printing or screen printing.
  •  Refashioning : Modify the style of clothes by altering lengths, sleeves, or necklines to create a new look.
  •  Adding Embellishments : Use beads, sequins, embroidery, or lace to enhance old garments and give them a new life.
  •  Accessory Creation : Turn old garments into accessories like scarves, bags, or headbands.
  •  Textile Art : Use fabric pieces in art projects or create wall hangings, pillow covers, or even rugs.
  •  Reuse Buttons and Zippers : Salvage buttons, zippers, and other hardware from old clothes to use in new garments or crafts.
  •  Donate or Gift : If you’re not upcycling for yourself, consider donating usable items to charity or gifting them to friends and family.

Upcycling not only reduces waste but also encourages creativity and resourcefulness in reusing materials.

We at Clothe also take usable fabrics in good condition which you’re not using. For more details you can get in touch with us.
