Preloved for eBay Launches!
Date: November 3, 2010 | Category: Fashion, Women
Creating one-of-a-kind clothing from reclaimed fabric, Preloved designs eco-friendly apparel out of their Toronto, CA headquarters. Pieces from the line can be found in retail stores like Anthropologie across North America, Australia, Europe and Japan - and now, an exclusive collection will be available on eBay.
Designed with the Preloved philosophy of sustainability, the nine-piece collection was made using reclaimed, vintage fabrics, giving home to items of clothing that may have only been worn a few times, but since their disposal, would otherwise have ended up in the landfill. We always say that the greenest product is often one that already exists, and when you learn that choosing a pre-owned sweater over a new one saves the energy equivalent of 68 loads of laundry, we think you’ll agree.
Plus, whoever thought reducing your carbon footprint could be this cute? Check out the Honey Sweater, made of three reclaimed wool sweaters and sewn to give a playful contrast in the shape of a heart ($114). The collection goes on sale Wednesday, November 3rd (today) at 12PM EST.
