Introducing the Rework Flannels

A collection of upcycled flanels

Sep 25, 2024

I’ve been working on this concept for a while now, and these four reworked garments are just a part of a much larger collection, message, and movement.

The fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to our environmental challenges. An alarming amount of clothing and textile waste ends up in landfills and pollutes the environment. I’ve personally witnessed the vast quantities of fabric discarded for various reasons, often driven by profits and greed, leading to unsustainable business and manufacturing practices.

As both a consumer and small brand owner, the only thing we can truly control is our own actions and values. My goal is to make the rework line fully recycled and self-sustaining, ensuring no scrap of fabric or damaged garment is wasted. I believe that anything can be restored with a little love and care. I’m passionate about this continued rework line and hope it will soon be evident in my upcoming releases.

Another key aspect is keeping the rework line as affordable as possible for you, the consumer. All my pieces are priced to cover the essential costs:

Material, fabric, clothing costs
Shipping costs
Natural dying processes, or any special fabrication
Low profit margins (All the money the brand makes gets pumped back into it anyway)

Rework Flannels

Drawing inspiration from brands like Needles, my goal is to create upcycled garments that people will genuinely enjoy. Too often, I’ve seen ‘upcycled clothing’ fall victim to greenwashing, with overpriced items like swirl-patch Nike sweatshirts or overly altered Carhartt jackets. While I don’t doubt the creative intentions behind these pieces, charging hundreds of dollars for them seems to defeat the purpose—at least in my opinion.
