“The combined waste from clothing and textiles in the UK is about 2.35 million tonnes, 13% going to material recovery (about 300 thousand tonnes), 13% to incineration and 74% (1.8 million tonnes) to landfill.”

Worn Again works with leading product designers to transform discarded and unwanted fabrics into modern, wearable clothes and accessories.
One of Britain’s most exciting new designers, Christopher Raeburn, used decommissioned Eurostar uniforms and retired Virgin hot air balloons to make a range of laptop bags, Oyster card holders and hoodies.
As well as making very desirable bags and accessories, Worn Again offers consultancy services and remanufactured products for large companies, such as Royal Mail, who want to find a profitable, sustainable way to deal with their waste textiles.
Worn Again voted ‘number one eco brand’ by the Independent Newspaper.
Worn Again aims to manufacture and source materials closest to the place of production to cut down on ‘fashion miles’ traveled by the ingredients, thereby reducing carbon emissions created through global logistics.
