The Ugandan designer who upcycles British cast-offs – and returns them to sender

Making a statement in more ways than one, a new fashion line is made from western cast-offs. Can it reboot Uganda’s textile industry?

As fashion statements go, Ugandan-based designer Bobby Kolade’s new collection is as bold as they come.

The mish mash of stitched-together panels holds an unequivocal message, one that’s printed loud and clear on the label of his one-off garments: ‘Return to sender. Materials sourced from secondhand clothes from the global north.’

Kolade’s first collection under his Buzigahill brand is made up entirely of clothes sent to Uganda for ‘recycling’ by countries like the US and UK. Repurposed and refashioned by Kolade’s six-strong team, Buzigahill is sending them back to where they came from.

“We feel there’s a kind of clothing dictatorship, coming from the global north to us,” said Kolade. “By sending things back, we are responding with a clear, proud message: we’re not just the dumping ground. We have the potential to produce, we have the potential to create.”
