Make a dent in landfill
How we break the cycle of the ‘take, make, waste’
Firstly, we partner with textile manufacturers, designers, brands, merchants, charity shops who want to make a difference.
Secondly, we collect their reusable surplus materials, such as fabric samples, deadstock, end-of-the-roll fabric.
Thirdly, we put the materials in circulation within the local creative community to reduce, reuse and repair.
What types of materials are we looking for?
We’re on the hunt for high-quality surplus materials that deserve a second life.
Whether you have offcuts, samples, or leftover stock, your materials could spark creativity and reduce waste!
Fabrics and Textiles
We love textiles of all kinds—think patterned offcuts, upholstery remnants, or unused rolls. Designers and makers use these to create everything from garments to decor.
Leather
Got leather scraps or remnants from production? Whether it’s genuine or vegan leather, our creatives love using these for bag making, accessories, and other artistic purposes.
Yarn
Excess yarn or thread is perfect for knitters, weavers, and textile artists. Whether it’s wool, cotton, or synthetic blends, we are keen to offer it for reuse.
Got something else?
Even if your materials don’t fit neatly into these categories, we’d still love to hear from you! Our community of makers is always eager to explore and experiment with unusual materials.
