Fall is here, and this year, it’s ALL about shopping ethically. Jump into the Fall season with one of Repurpose Wardrobe’s sponsored brands: KES.           Hailing from Kibbutz Afikim, Lia Kes designed KES™️ based on the practical, down-to-earth garments she wore in her pioneering community in North Israel.

Through the generous funding of our sponsors Repurpose Wardrobe can pursue its mission. In the spring of this year, Lettuce Grow joined our community of givers. Their thoughtful donations support Repurpose Wardrobe’s operations. We continue the act of kindness by raising funds for our partner non-profits and providing jobs for people who have faced economic hardship. Founded by Zoey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik, Lettuce Grow is a company that challenges consumers to rethink food. Food production consumes large amounts of resources.
