Description

Upcycled in Australia from used jeans and chinos sourced within Australia. The pant fabric is cut into strips and sewn end-to-end to make a rough 'yarn' perfect for weaving.

The yarn is 'rough' and 'imperfect' (e.g., there may be variations in colours and widths, and there are regular seams and loose threads in the yarn) which is not for everyone. Frankly, we love it for its attitude!

Sustainability Strengths & Weaknesses

All purchases impact the planet and its people. Instead of ignoring that, we help you weigh up the pros and cons.

✔ Reducing fashion waste.

✔ Made from used (post-consumer) clothing; not manufacturing 'leftovers' (which might actually support fast fashion manufacturers).

✔ Perfect for slow fashion and homeware projects which in turn reduce the consumption of virgin materials.

✔ Used clothing sourced in Australia, reducing transport (and associated emissions).

✘ Cut/sewn by us rather than supporting people in greater income need.

✘ Some pants could have instead been worn by people in need.

✘ There is still some waste (but we try to make use of what we can!).
