So much creativity & fun ✨🪡

Yesterday we had the joy of running a patch-making workshop as part of @veoliauk’s ‘Warm Welcome Spaces’ in Birmingham, and what a lovely session it was 💛

From buttons and scraps to stories and stitches, children and families transformed preloved fabrics into beautiful, meaningful patches. Simple hand-sewing skills, (many picking up a needle and thread for the first time) and lots of creativity! ♻️🌱

These sessions are about slowing down, feeling welcome, and creating together in a warm, supportive space. 🥰

Thank you to everyone who joined us, stitched with us, and shared the space 💕

And a big thank you to Veolia for inviting Reinvntd to be part of this brilliant programme!

We’re really proud to share this impromptu workshop next Monday! 💛

Reinvntd has been invited by @veoliauk to run a patch workshop as part of their Warm Welcome Spaces series in Birmingham.🪡🧵

We hope to see you there 💕

From a cherished jumper, to something held close 💛

Upcycling isn’t just about saving fabric from landfill. Sometimes, it’s about preserving stories, honouring people, and creating something meaningful.

This jumper was transformed into a memory cushion the client can keep close, every day ✨
We’re so grateful when people trust us with items that mean so much to them.

Send us a DM if you’ve got something sentimental you’d love us to upcycle for you 💌

Our first @yamfromhere workshop with @ewa.cic made possible by @heritagefunduk ✂️🧵🪡

The first of three creative sessions exploring identity, migration and belonging in the Black Country, telling the stories of those who call it home through textile arts. ✨🎨🪡🫟

Artist @thegabrielleguy captured the stories of what home means to participants through photography and mini interviews 📸

Our next free workshops will explore the themes ‘journey’ and ‘community’, and what this means for locals in the Black Country. Again we’ll use sewing, embroidery, threads and fabrics to tell those stories. 🤩

Want to get involved? Drop us a DM or keep an eye out for upcoming dates over the next month 👀

Before you hit ‘add to cart’… pause for a sec 🛍️

Fast fashion loves a quick click, but slowing down can save you money, wardrobe regrets, and that “why did I buy this?” feeling later 🫠

A few simple questions can help you buy less, wear more, and actually love what’s in your wardrobe 🥰

No guilt. No rules.
Just a little more intention.

Save this for your next shopping scroll, or share it with someone who loves a “just browsing” moment 👀

Last year at @wolverhamptonartscentre, families stepped back in time for ‘Our Freedom Then and Now’ event 🕊️

With wartime music, dancing, exploring history through VR and artefacts from 80 years ago, the past came to life.
Among it all, we explored the powerful wartime idea of Make Do & Mend 🧵✂️🪡

When clothes were precious, people repaired, reused, and wasted nothing.

Through our workshop, children and families used old fabrics to create new patches, turning something unwanted into something special.✨

Today, we call this upcycling ♻️ Eighty years on, the Make Do & Mend spirit still matters.🤩

Thank you Wolverhampton Arts Centre for inviting us to be part of the day 💛

Our first year of impact 💚

In 2025, Reinvntd brought people together through sustainable fashion, creativity and community. From workshops and repair cafés to talks, lectures and swap shops, this year has been about learning, sharing skills and keeping clothes in use for longer.

The stats:
✨ 1,283 people engaged
🧵 30 workshops in upcycling, sewing & creative reuse
🎓 13 talks & lectures in schools, colleges & universities
♻️ 300+ garments saved from landfill
🤝 117 volunteer hours supporting our community

Beyond the numbers, we saw confidence grow, connections form & money saved through swapping, upcycling and people leaving with skills they plan to use again.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, collaborated with us, volunteered, hosted us or cheered us on.
2026, we’re ready! 🤩

Interested in partnering, collaborating or hosting a workshop with us this year?

From leftover T-shirt scraps to handmade Christmas cards 🎄❤️

Here’s a snippet from today’s guest lecture at @officialuom on fashion, sustainability, and global development. 👩🏽‍🏫👚♻️💡

We explored the true cost of the clothes we wear, from labour and inequality to textile waste, supply chains, innovation, and the circular solutions our communities are building every day.

I’m very grateful for the chance to share the work we’re doing at @reinvntd_official and to challenge how we design, consume, and value fashion. 🙏🏽

Thank you so much for having me Manchester 🐝

We loved attending the monthly @wildearthmovement Eco Market at @rw_birmingham a few weeks ago 🛍️

We received so much love for our upcycled tree decorations, festive embroidery kits and hanging stockings all handmade by our founder @themayap from pre-loved sarees ❤️✨🎄🎁

If anything catches your eye, drop us a DM. But be quick as we only have a few things left. 💌

We’re also taking a limited number of commissions for upcycled gifts in time for Christmas. So if you’ve got a piece of clothing, perhaps it has sentimental value but not necessarily wearable, and you’d like us to upcycle it into something for Christmas, get in touch today ❤️

Last week, our Founder & Director, Maya Patel had the pleasure of delivering a 1-hour guest assembly to 200 Year 8 students at @oswbacademy Ormiston SWB Academy for their CORE Day on sustainable fashion and textile waste. Here’s what she thought…

“In the morning, students took on an upcycling challenge. It’s great to hear schools integrating hands-on sustainability into education. 🤩

As I always say, every single day, we all wake up and put on clothes. You don’t have to be “in fashion” or care about “trends” to be concerned about how our everyday clothing choices impact people and the planet. 🌍♻️

I spoke about the environmental and social impacts of fast fashion and encouraged students to make more informed and sustainable clothing choices.💡👕

A huge thank you to SWB Academy for inviting us in and welcoming us into such an important sustainability conversation. I definitely went away feeling encouraged by the students’ creativity, curiosity and willingness to rethink the future of fashion.”

🌍 Circular fashion in action 👗

It’s been two weeks since Sustain Midlands sustainability UNconference, and we’re still buzzing from all the creativity, collaboration, and conversation that filled the day. ✨♻️

As part of this year’s UnConference, Reinvntd CIC were invited to host a Clothes Swap Shop, and the results were amazing!
🛍 48 items were swapped or purchased, giving pre-loved clothes a new life. 🧥 43 items were donated.

That’s over 90 garments diverted from potential waste and recirculated back into use! ♻️

It’s incredible how something as simple as swapping clothes can spark big conversations about circular fashion, behavioural change, and how sustainability can be social, stylish, and accessible to everyone.

We loved seeing people light up as they found new pieces and shared the stories behind the ones they donated. It reminded me of why Reinvntd was started in the first place - to make sustainability feel simple and inclusive to all. 💚

Huge thanks to the organisers and @ucbofficial for creating such an inspiring and collaborative space. To the students from @solihullcollege who volunteered with us for the day, you are a credit to your college and brought such fantastic energy and initiative to the swap shop!

A big shoutout to @changekitchen for keeping everyone nourished with delicious, climate-friendly food - we’re still thinking about that baked gnocchi! 🍝😋

And to everyone who swapped, donated, and chatted with us throughout the day, together we proved that change doesn’t have to be complicated, it can start with something as simple as swapping a shirt and leaving inspired. 🌱

We were invited by @move.midlands and @milkteafilms to the @mockingbirdcinema for a special community screening of Can I Get a Witness, a powerful story exploring climate change through the bond between a mother and daughter.

Ahead of the screening, @Reinvntd_official hosted a creative sustainability workshop, where participants used stencils inspired by the film to print onto fabrics made from scraps of donated clothing. 🪷🍃 These prints can be transformed into patches to upcycle and repurpose garments, giving new life to materials that might otherwise go to waste. ♻️

One line from the film really stayed with me: “What are you willing to do for the greater good?”
From a sustainable fashion perspective, it’s a powerful reminder to reflect on how our choices, from the clothes we wear to the way we create, can contribute to collective change. 🌍✨

Loved attending and exhibiting at Sustainable Fashion Week with @sustainablefashionbrum at @oldprintworksbrum! ✨

Three days of wholesome sustainable fashion. From a room full of creative upcycling and making activities, to a fantastic conscious catwalk where we were lucky enough to showcase some of our own @reinvntd_official upcycled garments alongside other amazing designers.
The weekend wrapped up with inspiring talks, including @by.elle.mae sharing her innovations with bio yarn and @createdbychloegrant discussing how to be an ethical designer. 🌿 Such an incredible and inspiring weekend! 💚

✨ This summer we partnered with @wolvesgrand and @jaivantpatelco to celebrate South Asian Heritage Month.

Together, we hosted a community workshop where attendees transformed preloved saris and South Asian fabrics into a beautiful patchwork quilt. Swipe to the last pic to see how the quilt started 🪡🧵💜

Last week, the quilt returned to its starting place, now on display for everyone to enjoy. 🤩

Fittingly, it was unveiled ahead of Surinderella, a magical panto giving Cinderella a South Asian twist 🌸✨

Huge thanks to the Grand Theatre for creating such a wholesome, creative space where communities can come together. 💖

✨ Thank you to @birminghamnewmanuni and @newmangoesgreen for inviting us to be part of Second Hand September! 🌍💚

Second-hand September, clothing edition ✨👚

Here are our 5 easy tips:

1️⃣ Shop your closet first – restyle old favorites, mix and match, and rediscover pieces you forgot you loved.

2️⃣ Swap with friends – host a clothing swap night for a fun (and free!) wardrobe refresh.

3️⃣ Choose quality – look for timeless, durable fabrics in thrift shops that will last for years, not just one season.

4️⃣ Upcycle & mend – turn an oversized shirt into a crop top, patch up jeans, or add new buttons for a fresh look.

5️⃣ Buy less, wear more – invest in versatile items you’ll actually wear on repeat.

💚 Every small choice helps cut waste and reduce demand for fast fashion.

👉 Do you have any favorite secondhand or sustainable style tips to add? We’d love to know! 👇

#SustainableFashion #SecondhandFirst #ThriftedStyle #EcoFriendlyLiving #Reinvntd

This Second hand September, we’re showing how sustainability is stitched into everything we do at @reinvntd_official, right down to our lanyards! ✨♻️

Small changes = big impact 💙👖➡️🔑

POV: You go to a clothing swap expecting to shop, but end up listening to a 10 year old rap about sustainability & fashion 🎤♻️🌍👏🏽

#swapshop #reinvntd #sustainablefashion #circularfashion #fashioneducation

On Saturday we hosted our very first Clothing Swap Shop at @space.wlv in Wolverhampton, and hopefully the first of many! 👕♻️

Fast fashion is one of the biggest contributors to waste and carbon emissions, and too many perfectly good clothes end up sitting in wardrobes or going to landfill.

By swapping, sharing, and reusing, we can:
❤️ extend the life of our clothes
♻️ reduce waste
🌍 make more sustainable choices

The event was a fun, practical way to show how small changes in our habits can have a big impact.

And a special shoutout to @smartworksbhm for joining us on the day and generously donating clothing to support this initiative. 💚

👉 If you or someone you know would like to get involved in future swap shops, donate clothing, or collaborate on sustainable initiatives, we’d love to hear from you! 💌
