Lil Revolving Wardrobe
The revolving wardrobe is a donated collection of quality clothing and shoes ranging from newborn to adult (all genders) and includes maternity wear and menswear.
You can easily drop off your outgrown preloved items and pick up new ones. All the clothes are sorted into bags by size so you can quickly locate what you need AND you can park directly outside (or it’s right next to East Linton train station). The project is designed to be easy & stress free. We take care of the checking, sorting and organising the clothes which are all freshly washed - you just choose what you want (& return what you no longer need).
Anyone can access the Wardrobe at any time.
Just fill out this short google form https://forms.gle/9dx2bUYJVdhmr9n7A and you will receive an email with the key code, instructions and directions.
We welcome donations too. Please wash and sort clothes by size to lessen the sorting load on our wonderful volunteers, thanks.
It’s not just about swapping clothes, it's also about growing the community - you’ll be part of a network of local families working together to reduce waste and support each other.
Why Revolve our Clothing?
We don’t have enough space in our wardrobes or on the planet (or for many, resources in our wallets) to keep buying new - we’re fuelling an industry of poor quality clothing, made with unsustainable materials in unethical conditions much of which ends up polluting the land & homes of nations far from here.
Textiles make up only about 4% of Scotland's household waste by weight, yet they account for nearly a third (32%) of the carbon impact of household waste
Many textiles are made from mixed materials, making recycling difficult. Additionally, textile recyclers are often overwhelmed with the volume of discarded clothes
The cost of clothing a baby in the UK from birth to three years old can range from £1,000 to over £2,000, depending on purchasing habits and lifestyle choices - this is massively reduced if we opt for second hand clothes and equipment and we create a resource for those less able to afford new too.
