Problem
The fashion industry contributes significantly to textile waste, with a large percentage of clothing ending up in landfills. Current recycling and resale efforts are insufficient to address the scale of the problem, requiring a fundamental shift in how clothes are designed, sold, and used.

This approach promotes a fully circular system where clothes are continuously reused and repurposed.
