These adorable Re-Jiggered children's clothes are actually upcycled from usable portions of castoff adult clothes. The UK-based company is making waves in the children's fashion world by creating their unique clothing from a farm that is based in the rural area of Herefordshire.
The handmade garments are sewed to customer specifications and can incorporate customer-supplied fabric as well original customer designs. They've also partnered with EnviroAbility -- a company who helps the clothing business by finding, washing and sorting the old clothes for them.
Sales of Re-Jiggered children's clothes have other positive social benefits as well -- a portion of each sale is donated to charity or education.
With such a great social agenda paired with upcycling, who can resist Re-Jiggered's kiddie clothes?
Implications - Another example of the eco movement being adopted into fashion!
