Reducing Fashion's Environmental Impact in HK

Hello friends,

As we move into the vibrant and sunny month of June, we’re excited to share some fantastic news and upcoming events with you!

To further raise awareness of the clothing waste issue, we organised an interactive exhibition “Redressing the Future: Circular Solutions for Fashion Waste”  which is in its last week, held at the new DX Design Hub in Sham Shui Po - visit until the 16th June! Together, we can rethink our wardrobe choices and reduce textile waste. 

This exhibition coincided with our 8th annual Get Redressed Month campaign — Hong Kong’s largest consumer awareness initiative on circular fashion. Under the theme “Your Clothes, Our Planet,” this year’s campaign highlighted the urgent need to address the fashion industry’s environmental impact amid the growing climate challenges Asia faces. 

We worked with retailers, corporate and schools, allowing the Hong Kong public to easily participate by giving us their unwanted clothes during the campaign month with 71 collection points and collecting over 15 tonnes of clothing. This week our corporate partners will be joining Sort-a-thon — a three-day mass clothes sorting the good quality items for our multiple charity partners.

We’re also thrilled to announce the return of the Redress Secondhand Pop-up+ shop! From the 24th to 29th June, come and shop a curated collection of secondhand fashion, with all proceeds supporting Redress’ programmes. Alongside, we will also be selling sustainable designs from Redress Alumni Patrick Lam, Pearl Leung, Jasmine Leung, and Angus Tsui. Please help us spread the word and encourage friends and family to join this exciting opportunity to shop consciously and sustainably! Check out more information here.

Thank you for being part of this journey towards a circular fashion future! We look forward to sharing more exciting news with you.

Please do consider signing up for a small monthly donation to support our growing, important programmes!

Best Wishes,

Colette

Hello friends,

Wishing you a prosperous Year of Snake. Thank you for your continued support!

As we kick off the new year, we already have many exciting developments to share! We’ve partnered with DHL Express Hong Kong and Redress alumni designer Angus Tsui to upcycle retired DHL uniforms into fashionable accessories. Angus transformed items like waterproof jackets, raincoats, cargo trousers, and quilted liners into stylish, functional pieces. Check out the collection here for pre-order — all profits will go directly to Redress.

Our Takeback Programme has seen a remarkable increase in public participation. Last year, we collected 55 tonnes of clothing from our Takeback partners, a significant rise from 28.9 tonnes in 2023! Of this, 30 tonnes were distributed to over 20 Hong Kong-based charity partners according to their needs. This year, we aim to expand our partnerships with more retailers, making it easier for the public to donate unwanted clothing to Redress at accessible locations.

Redress is committed to providing educational workshops in schools across Hong Kong, enriching future generations with sustainability knowledge. In the 2023/24 school year, we delivered 51 activities, engaging over 6,500 primary and secondary students. We offer these services free of charge to ensure more students understand the critical issues surrounding fashion waste. Your donations are vital in supporting our educational efforts and enabling us to reach more schools.

Upcoming: Next, we’re gearing up for our annual Get Redressed Month campaign in May, if your organisation is interested in taking part, sign up before the end of March and stay tuned for details of our next secondhand pop-up sale in June!

Thank you again for your donations.

Best wishes,

Colette Chan
