Women wear a garment, on average, 7 times before throwing it away. Of all garments that are donated to charities or thrift stores, only 10% get sold. The rest are dumped in the landfills.
As much as 95% of these clothes that are thrown away, could have been re-worn, recycled or upcycled. By re-using old clothes, we actually help reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce new garments and give old garments a new life.
REFASH (verb) - describing an action of taking an old, discarded product and re-fashioning it into a contemporary, useful, creative product for use.
Discover:
Here, you will discover contemporary upcycled products and accessories and the creative artisans, designers and brands behind these sustainable products that are re-purposed, re-loved and refashed. You will also find stories of these innovative individuals of how they create these upcycled collections and their unique approach to design.
Movement:
We believe that REFASH is not just a brand, it is a movement. A movement of changing consumption habits. A movement of embracing products that we have been discarded. A movement of re-loving our own waste.
Vision: A Successful Circular Economy
Our vision is to create a world where nothing ends up on the landfill. We hope to create a circular economy where all products are re-used again and again, in different ways and waste is not an option.
To Bring Change:
We hope to facilitate a change in the mindsets of consumers by converting their trash into treasure. One piece at a time.
