CIRCULAR COAST CLOTHING - Clothes, shoes or accessories that are repaired, restored, redesigned, resold or rented -
Circular Cost Clothing is about restoration and reinvention of textile destined for landfill. We are at the beginning of our journey of research about the lifecycle of textile, looking at transformative change through sustainability. Creating a UK #SavedFromLandfill campaign and #WearCareRepair initiatives within communities and businesses in North Yorkshire.
From saving textile from landfill and re-designing that waste, we will re-route the traditional 'doomed' journey for pieces of new clothing and other textiles that are sold, worn, discarded to landfill. Through #CircularConversations and #TextileTalks we aim to influence and inform communities about reducing, reusing and rental of clothing/textile.
#WearCareRepair will become our gold nugget. Rental of clothing is the future and we are determined to do everything we can to enhance that message
We are a community business (social enterprise) and this is fully reflected in how we entrench our work in the local region:
We currently donate the clothing and items we restore to a local charity shops.
We initiated a SwapShop with the local University and created -Suit and Style- interview clothing for students in need of items, aided by volunteers.
We have created a partnership with the Church Of England and will support this by providing textiles to local sewing groups.
I volunteer my time to facilitate and deliver #CircularConversations, aimed at corporate and university, and #TextileTalks, aimed at youth and art groups, with community groups and voluntary sector partners to promote the Circular Economy.
