Maybe it’s because we’ve been into wool for at least six thousand years? Or maybe it’s because whilst pretty much everyone else on the planet switched to trying to make the cheapest clothes they could, we stuck to trying to make the best ones.
Our latest collaboration is with Sheffield based ReTribe, a brand that upcycles tents. Together we have created a limited edition Pack a Sacks made from abandoned festival tents.
Community Clothing says No! to Black Friday. Instead we say Yes! to a great deal for everyone, every single day of the year.
