ABOUT WHITE ROSE RECYCLED FASHION
White Rose Recycled Fashion was established as a social enterprise in 2009 by two creative Nottingham Trent University graduates who were truly inspired by the work of Aegis Trust, supported by White Rose.White Rose, a charity shop with a difference, offers lovingly hand-picked recycled clothes; men’s recycled fashion, women’s recycled fashion and kids recycled fashion. White Rose values people, our planet and clothing, in a manner reflective of the organisational values.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
At White Rose, we infuse our passion for fashion with our care for people and the planet, creating a fun and sustainable shopping experience which ensures you look amazing, spend less and make a positive difference.We’re driven by a distinct purpose to reduce fast fashion’s impact on the environment, reduce textile waste, and encourage our customers to make kinder choices when it comes to purchasing and repurposing clothing. Our circular fashion model means we disregard the corporate ‘take-make-dispose’ pattern and ensure fashion garments are worn for as long as they can be and then transformed through upcycling and recycling after that.
Our seven stylish stores in Nottinghamshire and our online store provide a great selection of carefully handpicked brand name fashion pieces, with plenty of inspiration for those wanting to choose sustainable shopping. This means you can follow your unique style as well as keep up with the latest trends – amazing, right?
Our emphasis on high quality, handpicked recycled fashion has led to the stores and online shop to being in high demand. We feature branded and even new fashion items for sale, meaning you can get your hands on luxury second-hand designer clothing without the premium price tag. Additionally, our online and retail stores are constantly being updated with fresh, new lines with hundreds of new items added into each store every day, so you’re always sure to find something perfectly suited to you.
White Rose shops on the high street have a distinctive look and feel which make shopping with us simple and fun. We understand shopping second-hand is a new experience for some, so we work hard to ensure all our clothes are of the best quality and have been inspected prior to sale.
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE FASHION?
Sustainable fashion is the process of fostering a positive change to fashion products and the fashion system. Sustainable fashion is about ensuring production is environmentally and ethical productionFor us here at White Rose, we encourage and develop the recycling community, while reducing the amount of textile waste entering landfills. Currently, textile waste is one of the main contributors to pollution and high levels of CO2. This is partly due to toxic chemicals and dangerous dyes seeping into water supplies and mass fast fashion manufacturers are using large quantities of resources and energy. If everyone purchased just one recycled fashion item this year, it would have a massive, collective and positive impact on the planet.
Fashion allows us to be experimental with our look, and provides us with the means to visually express our personality through style choices. Whether it’s coloured prints, patterns, subtle hues or bold colours, here at White Rose Recycled Fashion, we encourage a playful expression of style. Shopping sustainably only adds to this as there are so many exciting, unusual and unique items to put outfits together with.
