Wolf & Badger x Thrift+

by Wolf & Badger

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.
