Worn By Us: Sustainable Fashion Solutions for Retailers, Brands and Shoppers

Celebrities and individuals have clothes that are in good condition in their wardrobes that they no longer wear. Also, fashion designers and stylists use clothing in photo shoots, campaigns, TV shows, films and music videos that they don’t get used again.  

However, there was no platform for these individuals, celebrities and brands to resale this clothing in the United Kingdom and if care was not taken, most of these good clothes would end up in the landfill.

Worn By Us works with strategic partners and individuals to provide a one-stop shop for the resale and recycling of clothing and fashion accessories in a responsible and environmentally sustainable manner. 

Worn By Us provides solutions for the retail sector to dispose of their unwanted fashion items in responsible and environmentally friendly ways which include resale, recycling, and brokering donations to charitable partners. 

Furthermore, Work By Us works with retailers, retail outlets and shopping centres to provide customer take-back schemes to encourage consumer recycling and increased footfall through incentive discount vouchers.     

In addition, Work By Us operates clothing banks for textile recycling in a number of community settings which includes sporting clubs, community centres, charitable organisations, supermarkets, and shopping centres.

According to Worn By Us, donated pre-loved garments that are judged to be suitable for re-sale, will be listed on the Worn By Us platform. The donor can decide to receive 40% of the eventual resale value, with 10% being donated to the 1851 Trust, where the proceeds will fund digital “sustainability” educational tools for young people in schools. Or the full 50% can be donated to the Trust and support their incredible work whilst knowing you have saved another garment prematurely reaching landfill. The remaining 50% covers the costs for Worn By Us.

The emergence of Worn By Us has helped to raise funds for charity in the UK and has prevented clothes in good condition from being sent to landfill. The Worn By Us platform has also built a community of people with shared passion and purpose, who want to give back.
