Sneak Peek: Preloved S/S 2009

I'll be the first to admit that recycled clothing, or "hand-me-downs" as I used to know it, albeit environmentally friendly, isn't always the first thing that comes to mind when I think of sexy. But don't call Handcut by Preloved "recycled". Don't dare even call it "repurposed". Each garment is a one-of-a-kind creation made from reconstructed vintage clothing (e.g. men's wool blazers, trousers, trench coats, etc.) and even vintage curtains! By their own estimation, Preloved has thus far rescued over 60,000 wool sweaters, 20,000 wool trousers, 10,000 dress shirts, & 7,000 trench coats from the landfills of Canada (and the Aardvark's of Los Angeles). Handcut by Preloved comes to Milkmade this Spring. Now that's sexy.
