Selling Upcycled clothes with Shop Circular

I took my upcycled fashion pieces to the Shop Circular consignment store in Lyons CO to see if they would sell—and what we learned about the circular economy surprised me. Instead of donating clothes, what happens if we resell them locally? This experiment at Shop Circular explores how reselling clothes can support a sustainable wardrobe, reduce waste, and keep fashion in motion. From slow fashion to easy upcycles you can do without sewing this deep dive into the reuse economy might change how you think about second-hand style. CHAPTERS 0:00 - Can Upcycled Clothes Sell?
