Learn more about our mission

Fashion that gives back — to people and the planet

Three promises we keep with every garment we recover and remake.

Creating more jobs

Sustainable fashion boosts local economies and opens fair-wage opportunities in under-served communities.

Ensuring better health

Fast fashion relies on toxic chemistry. We design chemical-free, biodegradable clothing that is safer to wear and make.

Providing free education

Revenue from recycled fashion will fund a charitable fashion school — free education that changes the industry from the inside.

Fun fact: We are developing the world's first eduventurous game to make the fashion industry more sustainable.

Why we are doing this

Because a truck full of used clothes ends up in landfills each second.

The fashion industry cuts costs with cheap, toxic materials that also shorten a garment's life. Discarding clothes at this pace creates mountains of waste. Millions of tonnes are donated to Africa — yet about 70% still ends up in landfills in Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya and beyond.
