Naked Society has attempted to develop a setup that creates a third solution for old clothes – so far for old jeans only. This solution is to donate it to us, through collections at schools and institutions. Hereafter, we transform the materials into new, exciting design products. For some products, we break down the material completely before we crochet it into different design and living products. For the products made of denim, we use recycled materials almost exclusively.

In the future, we need to think more about the resources we have, and one of those is textiles. Today, a large part of our second-hand clothes is sent abroad, where it passes through several stages, before it is ultimately wasted at surplus stocks in Africa.

If it is recycled, it is often for cloths or for isolation. At the same time, endless amounts of new textiles are produced every day around the world, all the while our raw materials are getting more costly. For this reason, solutions to reusing existing textile resources must be found – for new, exciting products that can make life a little more fun.

Naked Society’s production of accessories such as bags, pillows, and puffs are examples of how to re-use used textiles in a design context. This is not necessarily the answer to all the world’s problems, but an example of how to create something beautiful and useful from something old and worn.
