If you find yourself wearing only a small portion of your clothes—perhaps always the same ones—and feeling dissatisfied with your wardrobe, you're in good company. According to statistics, only 70% of clothes are worn. Many garments go unused due to size issues, a change in taste, outdated fashion, or simply poor purchasing decisions. According to the study Unfit, Unfair, Unfashionable, this results in significant waste, with a notable impact on emissions that varies from country to country but is more pronounced in Western nations and among wealthier social classes.
As a result, donating, reselling, and repairing clothes using upcycling techniques are becoming the new trend. To create a more sustainable wardrobe, a small capsule of essential pieces is enough to build the right outfits, feel lighter, and declutter your closet, all while contributing to a healthier planet. Wearing clothes for longer, transforming them, and extending their lifespan helps reduce emissions and pollution while preserving resources.
Upcycling is a creative reuse technique that we employ to produce our bags.
