We source previously worn clothes and materials that couldn’t find a home on the post-consumer market. This waste is often downcycled into items like rags. Or else they’re shipped overseas. 40% of that heads to a landfill. We rescue these fabrics and bring them to our shop in Minnesota, USA. We clean and sanitize the materials. Then we cut and sew the materials into something beautiful and useful. We do our best to salvage every scrap and to find responsible outlets for anything we can’t use. Typically, we’re able to use over 70% of the materials. Sometimes our needs are particular and we need a piece of new fabric. When that happens, we source deadstock fabric that was already manufactured for another purpose. We shop locally whenever possible to reduce shipments, and we try to be mindful of our business practices. We continue to learn and collaborate with like-minded partners. We’re not claiming to be perfect, but we do ok.
