We’re closing the loop and have made it possible for you to send your clothes back for reuse and recycling. Plus, we’re rewarding you for doing so.

On average, Australians purchase 27kg of new textiles each year and then discard around 23kg into landfill — annually.

Building on our ethos to create vegan, fairly made & sustainable fashion for men & women, we’re advocating for a better and more sustainable world by teaming up with textile recyclers UPPAREL to make it easy for you to reduce your impact and minimise what you’re putting into landfill.

Have 10kg of your old clothing collected for just $35, and receive a $20 voucher to spend at Velvety. Win, win.

*On your first collection only. Valid on orders over $200.

1. Register for collection.

Go online and book your collection. You can send 10kg for just $35. We’ll send you a $20 voucher to redeem on full-price product at Velvety.

2. Gather up your unwanted items.

Gather up your unwanted clothing, linen and shoes. Ensure clothes and textiles have been given a clean, ready for someone else to use and love. Shoes should be in good condition and be given a quick wipe. No underwear and bra’s please!

3. Book your collection.

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!

4. We’ll organise the rest…

Our team will book your collection within 48 hours of receiving your request and provide you with a label to attach to your package. A courier from our third-party network will then come to pick it up from your front door. Then we’ll get to recycling!

Together, we can keep clothes and shoes out of landfill.

Make an impact today.

Get ready to clear out your wardrobe and we’ll get ready to give your items their second life.

But how exactly do you keep my items out of landfill and give them a second life?

Reuse

If your items are sent in a suitable condition, then we can donate them to one of our charity partners for someone else to love.

Upcycle

If your items are past their prime, then we’ll work with our recycling partners to turn them into something new like a tote bag.

Recycle

If your items are damaged, they can be used to create new yarn or shredded and used for things like insulation or stuffing for pet beds.
