Wonder what happens to the clothes you give away? The sad truth is, a lot of them end up in open-air dumps and landfills, contributing to global carbon emissions. But it’s not a completely lost cause – you can make your own positive impact to help reverse this problem (no step is too small) by giving your clothes a second life.
Upcycling clothes not only benefits the environment but also allows for creative expression. In this episode of Zafigo’s monthly IG Live series, Chick Chat, Kloth Circularity co-founders, Nik Suzy and Sarah share various upcycling tips and techniques that will inspire you to transform your old clothes into unique pieces.
