I’m always a little sad when my favorite jeans, you know the ones – super soft and really worn in – need to go into the bin. It always seems like such a waste, because there’s usually a fair amount of good fabric left on them. So I started cutting them up to make trous for the resin!kids and those pants usually become the go-to choice when I want a comfy-cuddly-casual or distressed-disaffected-urban look. A few customers agreed and have been asking, so I’ve quietly been offering Recycled fabrics.
And like your favorite pair of jeans, sometimes these trous are showing a bit of wear. Recycled trous can be Wrecked either a little or a lot. All you have to do is ask and the denim-wrecking-crew goes to work.
Where do these fabrics come from? Usually from donated garments that are not quite ready to be completely retired. Sometimes if I see something on the clearance rack that’s exceptional, like a recent, bargain find of red-washed-black, skinny jeans in an unsellably microscopic size, I’ll grab it and start cutting. And it’s not just denim! I’ve found some amazing, super-soft, stretch cords headed for dustbins and grabbed them up. All fabrics are laundered before use, so buy with confidence.
You won’t find Recycled fabrics mixed in with the usual swatches. Stock is ever-changing and very limited. But if you think you’d like to make your trouser choices green, drop me an email and ask about availability!
