What is the problem you found?
How might we address textile waste from fast fashion and help empower homeless people
Customer / Problem
Our customers are companies with high textile waste, homeless people and regular citizens. Fashion companies often produce items that are defective and get trashed. Regular people follow fashion trends and produce a lot of textile wast that goes to landflls because there are limited other places to go. Homeless and low-income citizens don't have access to warm clothes or nice clothes to wear to interviews or work.
What Is Your Solution?
Our business is a social enterprise that sells useful products to make clothes and accessories last longer, and donates used/defective clothing to the homeless community.
