    Hiring retired tailors to recycle and upcycle old school uniforms

     

     

    The venture aims to provide job opportunities to elderly people and promote sustainable fashion by engaging retired tailors to recycle and upcycle old school uniforms. Apart from earning an income, the retired tailors will regain a sense of personal value and confidence by utilising their garment and sewing skills in creative production. Low-income families would also benefit from cost saving in buying new school uniforms as well as the extended lifespan and enhanced value of the pre-loved uniforms.
