Let’s start the day with a quick quizz. Are you
ready? In your opinion, what amount of textile is simply trashed each year? Any
idea? Ok, I will help you; we are talking about millions of tons. Still no
clue? Every year, 13.1 million tons of textiles are trashed and only 15% of
those are recycled, when the half of it is perfectly reusable. If you did not
guess it, don’t worry, you’re part of the 78% of the population, unaware of the
issue.
And now you are all wondering where is he going
towards? What’s the purpose of talking about textiles trashes? Ok, let’s end a
part of the suspense and watch the following video.
Yes, Gifts and Graces is cooking something for
you, something old and fresh in the same time, something trendy made out of
what could be considered outdated. We receive many different and interesting
textiles from a generous partner based in the United States. But what to do
with it? Throwing it was out of the question. Marge, our designer, together
with our partner communities got an idea.
And what if those scrap fabrics could
become fashionable? So Gifts & Graces decided to offer its design input,
together with the skills of our talented partners and this is what you get: a
whole new line of bags, actual with a touch of vintage. You want to know more
about it? Be patient, more exciting news are coming soon, so keep posted.
