Looptworks is a unique site dedicated to creating clothing and gear from upcycled materials.

Given the nature of the business, all items are limited edition and available only in small quantities.

With an online store filled with upcycled t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, laptop bags, cell phone cases and more, it’s easy to find sometime as either a gift or for yourself.

Plum District is offering the chance to purchase a $50 gift certificate for just $25 between now and Saturday. Vouchers can be used immediately and do not expire until August 19th.

And for that $50 voucher, what can you buy? I found several clothing items (such as an adorable jacket) in the sale section, bags and laptop sleeves and plenty of t-shirts.

      Henny,

      They recycle things such as old wet suits to create laptop bags, denim to create new skirts, etc. All of the original clothing is still in great condition but would otherwise go sit at Goodwill or something like that. And if it’s anything like my house, the clothes are nearly brand new (with a tween that is constantly changing her fashion taste, we go through clothes like crazy!!)
