Unsold. Retold.
Unsold. Retold. is about giving pre-loved items another chapter.
Through Create for Crisis – our ongoing maker collaboration programme – we’re inviting some of London’s most exciting designers and creatives to transform donated garments into one-of-a-kind collections, extending the life of materials and celebrating the creativity and value still waiting to be discovered.
Collections will be sold across our shops and on online
50% of the money raised from these collections will go to Crisis to fund their work ending homelessness, and 50% will go to the designers, helping to tell their stories as part of this too.
As this project is also about exploring ways to minimise what we send to textile recycling, we will also sell bundles of unsold clothing to creatives, students and makers.
12 independent makers. Unsold donated garments. Completely original pieces. See how UNSOLD. RETOLD. came to life.
We gave 12 independent makers access to unsold donated garments and invited them to see what they could become.
The result is UNSOLD. RETOLD. – a series of limited collections for which existing garments have been transformed into original, one-off pieces.
50% of every sale goes to the maker, with 50% supporting Crisis’ work to end homelessness.
YOUR TURN TO RETELL.
Get creative yourself with bundles of unsold donated garments and textiles, sold by the kilo. Cut them up, take them apart, put them back together, embellish them – what they become next is up to you.
