G-Gee’s Circularity Initiative <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Circularity basically means that the life cycle of a garment becomes a circle instead of a straight line – see image below. At G-Gee\u2019s, we believe in taking responsibility for the products we create, forever<\/em>. We encourage that the clothing we produce that is no longer fit for use is not thrown out but re-sold or up-cycled. There\u2019s a number of ways that this can happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fix-It<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m all about repair, you can even do it yourself! I have dedicated a day to it called \u201cFix-it Friday\u201d to show the different ways you can repair a garment \u2013 check it out on my Instagram here<\/strong><\/a>.  If you\u2019d rather outsource then I can provide this service or there are for sure a number of local tailors that are just a google away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Re-Sell<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If for whatever reason your G-Gee\u2019s garment is no longer fit for purpose but is still in great condition, then it can be a great way to make a little bit of extra money. There\u2019s lots of online platforms or usually local markets in your area where this can happen.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Return to G-Gee’s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Up-Cycle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can return to G-Gee’s to be up-cycled into something new! You can choose whether this is for yourself (amount charged will be according to time taken) or for me to up-cycle and re-sell at my creative fancy. For your trouble, you’ll receive a 10% off voucher for each return (and the satisfaction of knowing you’re looking after our beautiful planet!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Re-Sell<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you know that your garment will just sit there in the \u201cto do\u201d pile forever, then I am happy to re-sell your G-Gee\u2019s garment for you. There will be 30% deducted from the sale price for my time, postage and fees for the platform I use on top of that as well. Then the rest will go to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G-Gee’s Up-Cycled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

New life is breathed into unwanted or unwearable garments otherwise destined to landfill with G-Gee’s up-cycled range, creating unique and desirable pieces at a great price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each design is as unique as the garment that it came from, and I often find in the making process a story unfolds in front of me. This might be the slightly eccentric designer coming out, but I find the garments and clothing have a personality and attitude that is revealed to me as I work on them! Therefore, a name has been given to each design to honour the story or history that unfolds as it is made. Check out some examples of some I’ve made on my tiktok video below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My specialty is restoring damaged vintage pieces with some creativity to a wearable condition, this enables all sizes to be catered to as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
