ReGirlfriend
Good things come to those who don’t waste.
Introducing Recycle. Reuse. ReGirlfriend. our program that collects old Girlfriend Collective Compressive leggings and upcycles them into new pieces that can be worn again and again... and again.
The Problem
Only 1% of clothing is recycled worldwide — a lot of the rest is incinerated, downcycled, or tossed into landfills. Gross.
The Solution
Send us your old Girlfriend and we'll turn it into new Girlfriend, and send you store credit as thanks. We're already used to making new stuff out of old stuff. Now we're making new stuff out of old stuff... out of old stuff.
