Choosing Clothes That Last
The Renewal Workshop offers each product we renew a chance to live a second life, to be in use longer. We want apparel and textiles to stay out of landfill so we encourage consumers to buy renewed and remade products rather than purchasing something new. Anytime a new garment or textile is created, virgin natural resources and materials are used.
One way you can reduce the amount of new clothing you buy is to make those new purchases carefully so that you find a garment that is built to last both in quality and in style. Here are a few tips that will help you.
And when you are looking for quality renewed items, visit us at The Renewal Workshop, The North Face Renewed, and 2nd Home Renewed by Coyuchi.
