Repair Remix & Rewear Events | June 9 - June 15
Weekly roundup of NYC-based events & resources for repairing, remixing / upcycling, and rewearing your clothes!
Busy packing for an upcoming trip to the UK, to support Future Fabrics Expo on June 24th & 25th. For me, traveling is a huge ‘rewear’ use case - I’ve learned how to streamline my packing by pretty much always packing the same 4-5 core items, nearly regardless of my destination. And then I pick a few fun, less-worn items into the mix to switch things up - but, as part of tried and tested outfits, combos I already know I like. Just makes the whole thing less stressful, imo!
Will continue sharing these weekly event roundups while I’m there, perhaps throwing in some London-based events / goings on for fun too 🇬🇧
