Here at Saved, we believe that you already have everything you need. All it takes is intentional, creative problem-solving to transform what’s in your wardrobe into what you're looking for.

We focus on reimagining and upcycling what already exists.

In the U.S. alone, over 11 million tons of textiles are sent to landfills annually, many of which could be reused or upcycled.
The fashion industry produces more clothing than is needed, with an estimated 92 million tons of textile waste generated globally each year.
The production of new clothing is a major contributor to pollution, consuming vast amounts of water, chemicals, and energy. Producing one cotton shirt uses about 2,700 liters of water.
Clothing manufacturing contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, with estimates suggesting the fashion industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions.
Fast fashion brands often hide the true conditions of their supply chains, making it difficult for consumers to understand the human cost behind their clothes. Many brands don’t disclose information about where and how their clothes are made.
- In many fast fashion factories, workers are paid less than the living wage, often earning just a few dollars a day. In countries like Bangladesh, garment workers can make as little as $3 a day, far below the cost of living.
- The majority of fast fashion laborers are women, many of whom face gender-based discrimination, harassment, and abuse. Women often make up over 80% of garment workers worldwide and are paid even less than their male counterparts for the same work.

Instead of continuing to create new clothes, we should focus on recycling existing textiles. By repurposing, upcycling, and refurbishing garments, we can reduce the demand for new production, conserve resources, and keep materials out of landfills. This approach not only minimizes waste but also helps break the cycle of overproduction in the fashion industry. To truly make a difference, we need to embrace sustainable and ethical alternatives that prioritize both the environment and the fair treatment of garment workers, ensuring safe working conditions and fair wages worldwide.
