Waste Not, Want Not

As the name Renew suggests, we’re pretty big on 'waste not, want not' sustainability vibes. Apart from the fact that we love the uniqueness of vintage and handmade, we also dig that it’s playing a part in reducing our reliance on natural resources by giving beautiful fabrics another life.

But, as well as the pre-loved fabrics that make up our collections, we also take other steps to minimize our impacts wherever we can, via…

• Cardboard mailers and compostable labels made from sugarcane waste.
• No unnecessary plastic packaging.
• Recycled cards.
• Laundering with organic, allergy-free detergent (hello Dr Bronners!).
• Reclaimed coat hangers and rails.
• Second-hand photography gear, props and styling pieces.
• Secondhand office furniture
• We even use secondhand phones dammit!

…and, of course, we’re also downing organic, fair-trade tea and coffee while snapping photos, listing collections and putting your orders together.

We’re not perfect, but we’re having a red hot go at being better!
