Fashion waste, deadstock, is estimated to be around $120 billion, but it isn’t materials that are deemed unfit for purpose, it can be reams of over produced and unsold fabric just sitting in warehouses. Traditionally, brands would hold on to their excess fabrics for a few seasons and then send them to landfills or even burn them, as they were deemed past their sell by dates or to protect the brands integrity.

The feeling is that the pandemic has given people worldwide, a chance to re-evaluate what is important and to also look at what we can do as global citizens to make our planet a better and healthier place.
