Real Talk
Fashion as we know it is a hot mess.
Let’s change that.
We buy, we trash and we make more stuff, and that’s how we’ve been doing things since the dawn of time.
While it made sense when we owned only 6 items in our lifetimes,
in this day and age, we keep different outfits to suit every little aspect of our busy and unpredictable lives.
Our attitudes towards clothing have changed so why should we stick to an outdated system that encourages us to horde & trash perfectly usable clothing?

Real Truths
The ‘good’ clothing paradox
There are two fundamental issues that come hand in hand and are the biggest blockers of progress within the industry:
Hard Truth #1
Let’s face it, we all get sick of our clothes eventually
… perhaps a little sooner than we should.
Sometimes it’s just easier to grab that dress on sale than to buy an ‘investment’ piece, whilst ignoring all the associated costs with ‘going cheap’.
Hard Truth #2
Supporting positive brands can be quite costly and unattainable
To us good clothing is either being sustainable, ethical, local, or innovative. However, this can come at a high cost and be regarded as a ‘Luxury’ item
…. something us common folk will have very few opportunities to buy.

Clothes Loop is modeled off the principles of closed-loop systems, which is the idea of taking a holistic approach to a business that considers its own impact from end-to-end. Hence the pun in the name ????.
