About the practice
Re:Purpose It grew from its maker’s interest in thrifting and sewing into a small business focused on giving existing textiles another purpose. Its products use fabrics that have already had a life—including jeans and sheets—rather than treating discarded clothing and household textiles as waste. The business combines material recovery with functional design. Its denim coin purse, for example, uses both upcycled denim and reclaimed jean-pocket liners, showing how different parts of an existing garment can become components of a new item. Its bags are described as handmade and one of a kind, reflecting the varied materials available for reuse. Alongside ready-made products, Re:Purpose It offers custom embroidered goods, including market banners and patches for events or special occasions. This extends its reuse approach into personalised products and small-business branding.
