RE-FASHION IS A SUSTAINABLE START-UP THAT’S TRANSFORMING THE


WAY WE BUY CLOTHES AND DONATE TO CHARITY


Fashion revolution


R


e-Fashion believes the future
of fashion is circular and has
introduced a sustainable
alternative to shopping on the
high street. The company wants to
inspire women to recycle the clothes
they no longer wear. These clothes are
then sold through its website with all
the proceeds going to charity. It’s a
virtuous circle that makes clothes
affordable, keeps them out of landfill,
and helps fund good causes.

WASTING LESS
The average British woman hoards £
of clothes that they will never wear.
These are often quality brands in
excellent condition that can be reused.

Not only does passing on unwanted
clothes reduce waste to landfill, but it
also helps ease our carbon footprint.
Wear a piece of clothing 50 times, rather
than five, and you’ll reduce its carbon
emissions fourfold. Re-Fashion wants us
to declutter our wardrobes and release
this money for charitable initiatives.

GIVING MORE
Donating items through Re-Fashion is
easy. Just order a donation bag online
and fill it with clothes you no longer
wear. When you’re ready, take it to the
Post Office and send it back for free.
Re-Fashion believes charities should
make more from donations. That’s why
clothes sold on their website can earn up

to three times more than the same item
sold in a charity shop. Being an online
business means they don’t have the
overheads of the high street. So, your
donation will work harder for the cause
you care about.
At the moment, Re-Fashion has
teamed up with Breast Cancer Care.
And as the shop grows, Re-Fashion
will work with more charities,
allowing shoppers to donate to the
cause of their choice. It’s a revolutionary
idea that can benefit us all – and our
planet – and might just change the way
we shop for clothes.

Got clothes to give? You can order a
donation bag at re-fashion.co.uk.
