Upcycle Your Ex

We are searching for big, wild stories. And love. And cool clothes. But mostly stories and cool clothes.

Donate an ex-lover’s clothing, and watch our designers upcycle it into something you’d actually love. You can co-create with a RE.STATEMENT designer or let them surprise you, and you’ll receive an opportunity to buy the transformed product back at a hefty discount.

What should I do with my ex's clothes?

Are you wondering what to do with your ex’s clothes? Instead of letting them gather dust or disposing of them, consider giving these sentimental garments a fresh lease on life through the art of upcycling. Partner with RE.STATEMENT designers to transform your ex’s clothes into stunning new pieces tailored to your individual style.

The Power of Upcycling

Upcycling is a creative process that involves transforming old or unused items into something of higher value and quality. By upcycling your ex’s clothes, you not only reduce waste but also infuse new life into cherished fabrics. Collaborating with RE.STATEMENT designers takes this concept to the next level by entrusting your clothing to skilled professionals who can craft custom garments just for you.

Meet the RE.STATEMENT Designers

RE.STATEMENT connects individuals with talented designers specializing in upcycling and sustainable fashion. These designers are passionate about creating unique, eco-friendly pieces that align with your vision and personal style. By working with a RE.STATEMENT designer, you gain access to their expertise, innovative design ideas, and meticulous craftsmanship.

The Upcycling Process

  • Clothing Evaluation: Begin by sorting through your ex’s clothes and selecting items that hold sentimental value or possess unique fabrics or patterns. These will serve as the foundation for your upcycling project.
  • Consult with a RE.STATEMENT Designer: Reach out to start the conversation. You’ll discuss your ideas, preferences, and the garments you wish to upcycle. The designer will offer guidance, share their creative input, and help you refine your vision.
  • Custom Design and Creation: Based on your consultation, the designer will develop a custom design plan for your new garments. They will carefully deconstruct the existing pieces, repurpose the fabric, and skillfully craft a fresh and unique wardrobe tailored to your style and measurements.
  • Collaboration and Feedback: Throughout the process, you’ll collaborate closely with the designer, providing feedback and sharing your vision. This ensures that the final results align perfectly with your desires.

Sustainable Fashion with a Personal Touch

Upcycling your ex’s clothes with RE.STATEMENT designers allows you to embrace sustainable fashion while preserving sentimental memories. The transformed garments will be carefully curated to reflect your style and preferences, ensuring that each piece holds a personal touch and becomes a statement of your fashion-forward identity.

How to Work With a RE.STATEMENT Designer

1. Upload photos

In less than 5 minutes, easily submit photos and a blurb about what you want upcycled.

2. Ship

Get an email to match with a designer and send them your donated item. RE.STATEMENT covers shipping.

3. Co-create

Collab (or let the designer surprise you) in upcycling your clothes. Designers resell the final creation on RE.STATEMENT, which you can buy for up to 95% off.

Note: What you donate does NOT have to be from an ex. As long as it’s interesting and able to be upcycled, you are welcome to participate.

RE.STATEMENT and its designers are not liable or responsible for the repercussions from whom the donated item originally belonged to. You agree that you hold full ownership of the item classified in the submitted form until you donate it to a RE.STATEMENT designer, who will hold ownership of the item to create in their art, after you ship it to them.

Let’s not be sketchy here, folks. No one, not even your exes, is coming after us for just trying to save the planet.

Submit your item to upcycle

Get in touch to submit your item. By submitting, you agree to receive emails about cool stuff and agree to all terms and conditions. You can unsubscribe at any time.
