Repurposing the Definition

Repurposing is using something for a purpose other than its original intended use. In our case the repurposing comes from the different use of fabric, for repurposed products we can use remnant or off cuts from projects and transform them into new designs and therefore using them in ways they weren’t originally intended for.

How Can Repurposing Benefit Your Business?

• This can help reduce waste in your business by saving off-cuts and utilising them in other ways.

• A great way to utilise fabrics that are already in the environment, saving them from landfill.

• Reduce use and reliance on new resources.

• An amazing way to create limited edition collections.
