This concept is a membership-based apparel company that provides members with an opportunity to receive new eco-friendly clothes, at a frequency determined by the membership plan chosen (monthly, seasonally, 2x a year, etc.), in exchange for donating back the old and unwanted items. Think Netflix...but for clothing.

The concept is comprised of 3 main components which work together to create a self sustaining ecosystem that provides value to consumers, the local economy and environment.
(refer to images for add'l detail)
- Business + Operations
- Recycling + Revaluing
- Design, Manufacturing + Fulfillment

Overall Value / Impact:
- Provides easy means for customers to donate unwanted items
- Provides affordable, eco-friendly clothing alternative
- Creates significant number of corporate, warehouse, design and manufacturing jobs
- Encourages partnerships with Goodwill, design collectives and a number of other local organizations
