Why are Wolf & Badger and Thrift+ partnering?
Wolf & Badger is opposed to fast fashion. Our independent designers and their collections are made to be worn over many seasons, so we've partnered with Thrift+ to hopefully give the clothes you no longer wear a second life, raising money for charitable causes whilst you're at it.
This helps to create a circular fashion economy as well as to address the significant problem created by the 350,000 tonnes of used and/or unwanted clothing that ends up in landfill every year in the UK. It’s estimated that around 30% of clothing in UK wardrobes – with a value of £30 billion! – hasn’t been worn for at least a year.
So far, the Wolf & Badger x Thrift+ partnership has saved 693 items of clothing, 4,850,000 litres of water and 16,000 kgs of CO2.

What do I do?
Come into our London store and collect a bag, then send the bag back to Thrift+ using the free returns service they'll then re-circulate or re-sell your clothes. See what they accept here. Once an item resells, you can choose to earn cash, redeem credits to spend on pre-loved or donate to your favourite charity. You will also receive credits to use on the Thrift+ website – and we’ll also send you a 10% off code to use online or in store. It is really very simple.
Alternatively, if you can't make it in, you can order a Thrift+ bag here.
