We like new clothes, but love new clothes made from old clothes. What better way to reduce the size of landfills than to reuse as much as we can. CFA cares about the planet and the future, which is why we save scraps, up style old styles and recycle everything we can.
Pre-loved and used is our fabric of choice. No print is too ugly, too loud, too gaudy. We take all sizes and styles and can guarantee they will be refashioned into a runway worthy garment. Nothing is too outrageous for our creative fashion warehouse. Bring it on!
A burlap beanie? A newspaper necktie? Maybe. We love those odds lots that rarely are associated with fashion. Tinfoil. Yarn. Balls of string. What's in your junk drawer? Think of us when you find that odd earring. We are it's perfect partner.
Ready to kick those unused high heels (or those tired old shoes) to the curb, don't! With some paint and youthful imagination, they are likely to become a perfect CFA accessory. No shoes? How about some paint and brushes? We will gradly take them, too!
Moth holes in sweaters. Mending that never gets done. Lighten your load and give us those
clothes. Let us perform some magic. We can felt that moth-eaten sweater into a hat. We won't do the mending, but we will refashion that ripped T-shirt into a tote bag, or make a headband? The possibilities are endless.
Plastic caps, cups, corks, doll heads, beads, safety pins, rubber bands, hair clips, got glue, sunglasses, retired cell cases, old buttons, tape measurement (or any tape really), you name it, we can reuse. Have old magazines and newspapers? We can use them too.
Nothing is too tired, too old, too ugly for CFA. We like challenges and transforming your cast offs into something wearable is a home run for us and the planet.
