Therefore, everything we do at RETURE is based on 3 objectives: 1. To preserve human craft in the digital age. We support the ambitions of both established and emerging designers by giving them the platform to directly sell and/or repurpose upcycled fashion to a global audience. 2. To extend the life of garments. We keep garments out of landfill, where clients can either shop upcycled fashion or upcycle their own garments directly with a designer through our bespoke service. 3. To rediscover local communities. We help you discover creative talent in your area, strengthening local relationships.
