HOW IT WORKS
GATHER YOUR GEAR & get your bags
Collect all the textiles in your home - that's right, we take pretty much everything*
Then order your bag or sign up for a Subscription. Subscriptions are great for families, people who love shopping or those who need a prompt to cleanse... (Hands up if you drive around with bags of clothes in your trunk?!)
DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT
Fill your bag - with one sock or cram it full - and drop it off to your post box, mail room, door man etc. Each bag has a pre-paid label attached so you'll never have to wait in line at the Post Office.
We'll then begin telling a new story with your unwanted items...
WE'LL DO THE RIGHT THING
Together with our partners, we'll sift and sort your goods, sending them to thrift stores, donation centers, recyclers, resellers and up-cyclers. We're proud to say nothing will go from your Retold bag to landfill!

This is great for all the scraps I have accumulated over the past few months. It does take a while to fill it to the "rim", but at least the pieces are not headed to the waste management center! Thanks.

I like being able to keep this by my sewing machine so that I can toss in all of my scraps from sewing. I finally don't feel a need to keep every small piece for a potential project, since I know my scraps will be recycled. I like that I can toss is other textile scraps, like yarn, in there.
