Here is a way to solve the fashion glut problem, buy recycled jeans that are so expensive that you can't afford anything else! No seriously, each pair of jeans by Re/Done are unique ... this is jean couture! This LA-based denim company transforms vintage Levi's into designer jeans by taking them apart and remaking them into more modern shapes. The founders, Jamie Mazur and Sean Barron realized that the most beautiful denim was a result of years of being worn by someone to perfection. Hence, Re/Done was born out of a fashion-need, as well as a desire to waste less. Textiles make up 6% of the trash in landfills. Re/Done buys verified old, leftover, and over-ordered fabric from other designers and fabric warehouses and then re-purposes it. Fact: Remanufactured clothing can save more than 13,000 pounds of CO2 emissions a year. So, if you're in the market for "new" jeans, why not consider Re/Done? After all, everything old is new again; it's no longer just about recycling, now it's about upcycling, and Re/Done is leading the way.
