First run is GO ⬇️ for more soon!
🕳 soft launch... the first run of printed preloved will be available THIS SATURDAY at at Wesley Church Hall on Taranaki St 10am - 2pm at the stall!
🕳 a bit about the C L U M S Y C L U B] concept... TOO OFTEN clothes are "donated" to charity shops because of a small (& often removable) stain. The volunteers have to sort so many dirty clothes each day to find the pieces that are actually sellable. Many of the stains go unnoticed and still get hung on the store racks.
🕳 For my Clients over at I will trawl through racks upon racks to find pieces to fill the style gaps in their wardrobes and I am METICULOUS.. but occasionally even I will miss a stain when I'm in the shop and it won't be til fter its been washed and I'm about to photograph it that I notice one!
🕳 So, whilst mostly some stain removal and soaking with my favourite products (ahem.. .zerowaste.ahem) will destroy those pesky stains, some still are so damn stubborn.
🕳 Instead of discarding of those damaged items I choose to UPCYCLE. And THIS is how the idea for Clumsy Club came about. What if I could print OVER those pesky stains that are there for life INSTEAD of throwing them in the bin, destined for landfill.
🕳 It's already ruined but the rest of the fabric is still good! Let's bring them up to spec and extend the life of these pieces!
JOIN THE CLUMSY CLUB!
