Velvety and Upparel Partnership

 

Every year, Australians send an average of 23kg of textiles to landfill! If that wasn't shocking enough, The Salvation Army alone spends over $6 million on landfill fees for unsaleable, donated goods. We want to be part of the circular revolution, so Velvety has partnered with Upparel to help you reduce you textile waste!

 

What is Upparel?

Upparel, formally known as Man Rags, humbly began by recycling old socks and now has flourished into a Certified B corporation, that can upcycle almost all of our clothing and footwear!

"Textile waste needs radical intervention now. We need to dramatically extend product life and stop textiles from going to landfill. We need to move mountains, not make more." - Upparel, Our Story

We are proud to partner with Upparel and support their mission by giving you the chance to donate your unwanted textiles and recieve a gift voucher from us.
