Intro x FFF
FFF is a clothing exchange hub based in Dalston on a mission to redefine people's relationship with textile waste. They stock local sustainable designers, giving you inspiration and leading workshops to teach you their craft.
FFF are on a mission to provide an inclusive and accessible alternative to charity shops. Between 80-90% of clothes donated to charity shops are sold to countries in the Global South - against their will. Fast fashion companies make it hard to find information on a wide scale.
As an example, one market in Ghana receives 15 million garments a week, with 40% going directly to landfill (Source: The Or Foundation). Did you know 6 out of 10 Britons don't know how to sew on a button (British Heart Foundation)!
FFF are here to change that! Join the sustainable fashion movement making swapping accessible beyond friends and family, online apps and events. Coming soon to a high street near you !
