Our services
MOST OF US DONATE CLOTHES with the intention and expectation that it “goes to a good home,” but the sad truth is 80% of clothing donations enter the global fashion “recycling” landscaping and do not find a new life locally. The growing global textile and fashion “waste” crisis is why we exist.
WE ARE TEXTILE SCAVENGERS on a mission to reduce the impact of the fashion and textile industry through local reuse and recirculation. We seek to rethink circularity and extend the life of the most sustainable clothes: the ones that already exist.
IN A NUT SHELL, We provide ALL-INCLUSIVE CLOTHING COLLECTION and make it our business to ensure responsible redistribution and reuse.

WE TAKE CLEAN CLOTHES IN ANY CONDITION
Fine Print: We exist on a spectrum, just like the clothes in your closet. If you are ready to depart with them, we will take them no matter their condition. Our recirculation network includes mutual aid, non-profit, and organizational partners that help us redistribute and recirculate clothes as locally as possible; reducing impact by/and increasing lifespan. Usable clothing enters the recirculation network, while unusable materials support engagement activities and ongoing research and development for circularity.

Our fees are calculated mainly with the cost of labor in mind. Sorting through piles of old clothes can be a dirty, stinky, hairy job and we value the cost of human labor.
