“With my clothing brand (STRIPED™)-for instance-I upcycle and repurpose all of the clothes so nothing goes to waste. There’s a lot of landfill out there and, most times, brands will overproduce product and waste resources that end up being thrown away and labeled as garbage. At STRIPED™, we take fabrics and “waste” from thrift stores or other local brands and completely flip them; we STRIPE-IFY them.” - dylAn
