“If everyone in the UK bought one reclaimed woollen garment each year, it would save an average of 371 million gallons of water (the average UK reservoir holds about 300 million gallons) and 480 tonnes of chemical dyestuffs.” (Evergreen)
Most of the garments featured on this website are recycled; some never worn, some worn to perfection.
“The textile recycling industry annually prevents 2.5 billion pounds of postconsumer textile product waste from entering the solid waste stream, according to the Council for Textile Recycling.” (solidwastedistrict.com)
Cutting down on the quantity of textiles we throw away makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons. By recycling more of them we will:
save energy
save water
save natural resources
reduce landfill
Today we have no time or patience for trivial fashion and time-comsuming trend watching. We want sturdy, reliable functional street wear that will go wherever the road takes us.
