TRAIDremade launches recycled shoe range!

TRAIDremade has launched its first capsule collection of women’s shoes. The TRAIDremade Golightly collection focuses on one style of pump and one style of sandal incorporating hand chosen reclaimed textiles, leathers and trims. 

Maria Chenoweth Casey, Chief Executive of TRAID and founder of TRAIDremade said; “This stunning collection is inspired by TRAID’s work collecting, sorting and reselling unwanted textiles for reuse and recycling.  It demonstrates perfectly how the charity breathes new life and desirability into discarded textiles helping consumers to shrink their fashion footprint.”

The TRAIDremade Golightly range is available online at www.traidremade.com and at TRAID’s flagship Camden store at 154 Camden High Street, London NW1 0NE.

TRAID Sew Good Workshops 2010

Sew Good workshops are run by charity eco hero TRAID  to help people take control of their wardrobe and extend the life of their clothes by teaching basic mending, adjusting and remaking skills. 

Lyla Patel, TRAID’s Head of Education said, “As well as one off events like UK Aware, we run Sew Good regularly in TRAID shops.  The techniques learned makes clothes last longer diverting clothes from landfill and protecting the environment.  It’s fun, it’s ethical and there is nothing like basking in the glow of something that you have made yourself.”
