Introducing the REWEAR Bag – Now Available in Partnership with RCYCL

13/09/2024

Salvos Stores is thrilled to announce an exciting new way to give your clothes a second life: the REWEAR bag. Developed in collaboration with innovative, textile sustainability brand RCYCL, the REWEAR bag is now available for purchase online as part of a special bundle with the RCYCL bag, making textile recycling and reuse easier than ever.

Join us in fashioning a better future

Choosing the REWEAR and RCYCL bags when you next clean out your wardrobe, helps us all contribute to a more sustainable fashion industry. Not only are your wearable clothes given a second life through Salvos Stores when donated via the REWEAR bag. Any unwearable, torn, stained clothes returned in the RCYCL bag will be recycled into new products. Together with RCYCL, we’re proud to offer these convenient recycling and reuse solutions that embody our shared values and commitment to environmental stewardship.

The REWEAR bag represents a significant step forward in our ongoing purpose to create change for tomorrow by inspiring others to embrace circularity for people and the planet. Made from home compostable materials, the bags exemplify our dedication to reducing environmental impact while offering a practical way to ensure your pre-loved clothes are used responsibly – whatever condition they may be in.

Bundle available online and in participating stores

To celebrate the launch, the REWEAR bag and RCYCL bag bundle will be available for a limited time only for the introductory price of $19.95, through our online store and selected stores. This bundle includes one large REWEAR bag for your wearable, pre-loved clothes, and one medium RCYCL bag for your unwearable, worn-out clothes. Once filled, both bags can be dropped at your local Hubbed parcel drop-off point, and we'll take care of the rest! The small satchels that the bags come in are home compostable meaning that nothing goes to landfill.

Participating stores include:

  • Vic: Abbotsford, Camberwell, Kew, Malvern, North Melbourne, Port Melbourne, Hampton, Brunswick  and Northcote
  • NSW: Bondi Junction, Leichhardt, Marrickville and Tempe

Your purchase not only helps you participate in the circular economy, disposing of your pre-loved clothes responsibly, it also supports Salvos Stores mission to support The Salvation Army's programs to end hunger, homelessness, and build stronger families and communities.
