New life for old favorites
Trendy fashion, personal preferences, and exact measurements… let’s be honest, they don’t last forever. The result? We tend to hoard everything in our closets. A study by ADEME found that we accumulate three times more clothing than we actually need! What if you gave a thrilling NEW life to all the clothes, household linen and shoes that no longer suit you? Let your friends snap up a few pieces while exclaiming, “I looove it!”, or give your wallet a little boost by selling or donating your items. And if you’re up for turning harem pants into a bag, a slip into a mini skirt, or a pillowcase into a trendy top, we’ve got plenty of inspiration for you! So what do you think — tempted to give it a try?
What to do with your clothes and shoes
Customise & transform
Do your clothes look dated? You can transform them. With a little creativity and not much sewing skill, you can give them a second life. Don't hesitate to use the many tutorials available on the web.
Donate
Have your children outgrown their clothes? Have you fallen out of love with some of your outfits or household linen? Share them with your friends and family! You'll make someone happy and give a second life to textiles and shoes you no longer need.
Resell
Want to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank? Have your children outgrown their clothes too quickly? You can sell your unwanted clothes and shoes at a garage sale or on one of the many resale platforms.
