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 crafted clothing from preloved Indian cottons, 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 these preloved fabrics that make up our collections, we also take other steps to minimize our impacts wherever we can, via…

• Recycled cardboard mailers, compostable labels made from sugarcane waste and water-based kraft paper tape (nicknamed 'concrete tape' around here!).
• Recycled cards.
• Kantha 'scraps' ribbon.
• No plastic garment bags.
• 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!
