WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

At Public Thread, we believe in the power of upcycling – transforming materials that would otherwise be discarded into beautiful, functional products. But why should you choose upcycled goods? Here are some compelling reasons:

IT PRESERVES OUR PLANET

ENVIORNMENTAL IMPACT

By purchasing upcycled products, you're actively contributing to a regenerative economy. Upcycling reduces the need for new raw materials, conserves energy, and minimizes environmental harm. With each upcycled item, you're helping to reduce your carbon footprint and protect our planet's natural resources.

IT DIFFERENTIATES US

UNIQUE & ONE-OF-A-KIND

Upcycled products often have a distinct charm and uniqueness that represent the people and community in which they are made. Each piece tells a story, with its own character. When you buy upcycled, you're not just purchasing a product – you're acquiring a piece of artistry and craftsmanship that's truly one-of-a-kind.

IT UNITES US

SUPPORT FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Many upcycling initiatives, like Public Thread, prioritize local sourcing and manufacturing. By buying upcycled goods, you're supporting local economies and small businesses. You're also helping to create job opportunities and foster community development, leading to a stronger, more resilient local economy.

THE LIST CONTINUES...

  • CREATIVE EXPRESSION & INNOVATION

    Upcycling encourages creativity, innovation, and resourcefulness. Designers and artisans repurpose materials in imaginative ways, turning ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art. By buying upcycled products, you're supporting creativity and innovation in design while embracing a more sustainable lifestyle.

  • CONCIOUS CONSUMERISM

    In a world of fast fashion and disposable consumer culture, upcycling promotes a more mindful and conscious approach to consumption. By choosing upcycled goods, you're making a statement against overconsumption and environmental harm. You're voting with your dollars for a more sustainable, equitable, and environmentally responsible future.

  • SUPPORTING FAIR WAGES FOR SEWEISTS

     At Public Thread, we utilize upcycled fabrics to create our products. By doing so, we're able to provide fair living wages to our skilled sewists, ensuring that 44% of each purchase goes directly to the people who matter most – the talented individuals who bring our designs to life. You're not just investing in a product; you're investing in the livelihoods and well-being of our sewists, empowering them to thrive and succeed.
