"Loved clothes last" or #lovedclotheslast
This is the latest campaign by Fashion Revolution together with Green Peace.
Your clothes should be creating memories, not waste.
How do you do this? Well, you can either mend them or upcycle them. It could be turning a pair of jeans into shorts, or even just adding a repair patch to them. With Christmas less than a month away, your party outfit does not have to be off the store racks but lovingly upcycled with a needle and thread (or even with fabric glue).
Here are a few upcycling ideas that I have detailed on my site.

I will share my passion for upcycling clothes, why it is important, and how to make your clothes last longer. You won’t have to hit the stores again!
