Building on our mission to reduce the environmental impacts of fashion by offerring beautiful, affordable and preloved clothing, we’re teaming up with textile recyclers UPPAREL to make it easy for you to minimise what you’re putting into landfill.
On average, Australians purchase 27kg of new textiles each year and then discard around 23kg into landfill - annually. This means that 6,000kg of textile waste is being disposed of in Australia every 10 minutes.
For every 1kg of textiles you divert from landfill, you’ll be preventing 3-4kg of greenhouse gases from polluting the atmosphere. UPPAREL makes it easy and take the hassle out of determining whether to reuse, upcycle or recycle your textiles.
By implementing their philosophy of reuse first where possible, then upcycle when necessary, UPPAREL will ensure that nothing is ever sent off-shore or dumped in landfill.
You’ll score $25 back in store credit just for participating in the program. Spend it knowing that you’ve positively contributed to the fight against textile landfill.
Price range: $35.00 through $70.00
Go online and book your collection. You can send 10kg for just $35. We’ll send you a $25 voucher to redeem on orders over $100.
Gather up your well worn clothing, linen and shoes. Ensure clothes and textiles have been given a clean and are ready to be reused or repurposed. Shoes should be in good condition and given a quick wipe. No underwear and bras please!
Now you’re ready to give those unwanted textiles a second life! Simply book your collection through the link in your confirmation email, then print and attach the generated labels to your box(es) and leave them outside for collection. We’ll take care of the rest!
Our team will book your collection within 48 hours of receiving your request and provide you with a shipping label to attach to your package. A courier from our third-party network will then come to pick it up from your front door, and we’ll get to recycling!

If your items are in good condition we can donate them to one of our charity partners for someone else to love.
If your items are past their prime we’ll work with our recycling partners to turn them into something new.
If your items are damaged or looking a bit worse for wear they will be sent to textile recycling and used to create new yarn, insulation or stuffing for pet beds.
