The status of preloved clothing

We are aware of the impact clothing has on the environment. Some of us try to resell our preloved clothing and accessories. Others send to charities. A large bulk is sent to overseas companies for recycling,redesiging, repurposing.

This article is one of the latest updates to the sad situation with those clothing. Emphasis is best put on quality, rather than mass produced clothing with cheaper, low grade fabric.

Here is an article you would like to read and be aware of the latest in the recycling business:

Perhaps, instead of sending out your clothing, you might like to think about refashioning? Take another look at the clothing you get rid of. Some of the older clothes were made so well, if it still fits, perhaps it would be a good idea to accessorize it?
