The New New: Upcycled Fashion

It is becoming ever apparent that fast fashion has enormous environmental ramifications to our planet as well as social ones. Whether it be the use of toxic dyes, the process of deforestation, the depletion of our water each year, or unethical working conditions, we have to stop looking at clothing as disposable and move to more sustainable methods. 

At SHELBYcole Designs it is a huge part of our brand’s mission and company standards to be as sustainable and ethical as we possibly can be. In our efforts to combat these environmental and social issues we find forgotten or discarded items from thrift stores, goodwill centers, etc. and give these items new life so that they don’t end up in landfills. Check out our up-cycled items at the link below! We understand this a small effort in a very big problem so we urge others and our customers to shop smart by choosing brands/companies that are also taking steps to combat the strain fast fashion has on our planet.
