RE-QT = Repair, Repurpose, Resell & Recycle Your The QT Garments

The UK alone produces over 200,000 tons of textile waste a year and most of this ends up in landfills. Also, textiles made with synthetic fabrics will remain in our environment for hundreds of years, polluting and releasing toxic chemicals and micro plastics.

Textile waste and pollution is a huge problem that we are committed to help tackle in every way we can. Part of that commitment is making all-natural, non-toxic and plastic-free clothes, and taking responsibility for the lifecycle of our clothes.

Since our garments are designed for circularity, they can easily be fully recycled. So when you think you are done with your The QT garments, please, allow them to continue to serve their purpose and DON'T THROW THEM AWAY!

✂️ REPAIR

Pretty much anything worn or torn can be repaired to perfection! We have partnered with the Alteration Yard so that when you bring your The QT garments to them for repairing, they will be repaired with the same soft and gorgeous 100% GOTS organic cotton fabrics that the garments were originally made with.

 

🧵 REPURPOSE

There are many ways to alter and repurpose garments with the help of a service like the Alteration YardFor example, if you have a pair of The QT long bottoms with ruined knees, they can either be repaired with new knee patches or repurposed into gorgeous, unisex, organic shorts. You can turn long sleeve tops or jackets into short sleeve tops or vest, or have them altered to a bigger or a smaller size - the possibilities are endless! 

⭕️ RESELL

At The QT, we are committed to building a sustainable and circular brand that fosters positive change in the fashion industry. We believe that fashion should be circular, and we design our products with that in mind.

To achieve this goal, we exclusively use GOTS certified 100% organic cotton, employ water-based inks, and use packaging that is plastic-free and sustainably sourced. Our clothing is designed to be as close as possible to being fully recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable, and we prioritise creating timeless and hand-me-downable pieces.

To further support the circular fashion movement, we recommend looking for peer-to-peer marketplaces and resell platforms, which make it easy to buy and sell pre-loved clothes and accessories. Together, we can make a positive impact on the environment while still enjoying fashion in a responsible way.

If repairing, repurposing or reselling is not an option for you...
