As an ethical clothing retailer, we reckon we should take responsibility for the full lifespan of the clothes we sell. Not only do we care about who made our clothes, but we also care about what happens to them once you’ve finished with them. The world doesn't need any more waste, and we don't want to generate more problems for someone else down the line. We also think this approach should be the new normal for clothing retailers. Especially those dedicated to sustainability. It's not okay to ignore the flow-on effects of the things you sell.
The options for dealing with old clothing are currently limited, possibly because it's easier (and more profitable) to focus on the pretty, shiny new clothes rather than tackling the more difficult problems of waste. The global clothing industry is full of outrageous over-consumption, and little thought is given to the consequences. It doesn't have to be like this.
re-loved is one part of our ongoing commitment to making positive, sustainable change, and helping to build a circular economy of clothing.
