At Uskees, we practice mindful manufacturing. Organic cotton fabric is a precious commodity, so we work to avoid waste in a number of creative ways. Any cotton fabric left over when we make our core products is repurposed into the pieces that make up our Zero Waste Collection. Plus, there’s loads of other ways we reduce waste at Uskees every day.
Zero Waste Collection
We are very excited to be launching our new Zero Waste Collection, which will be constructed entirely from leftover fabrics. These garments will be made in strictly limited quantities, with colours varying as different fabrics become available. We’ve already planned short runs of smocks and workshirts, so keep an eye out for these exclusive versions of our most loved designs.
You can subscribe to our newsletter to find out in advance about these limited edition pieces
Tote Bags
Our organic cotton tote bags are made from would-be waste shirt fabric. They come in two sizes: the shopping-friendly Small Organic Tote Bag and the Large Organic Tote Bag which is ideal for the beach, gym or a weekend away. We think they’re the perfect reusable bag.
Keep an eye out for exclusive runs of new colours as we work only with waste materials from our workroom.
Depop
We never want to see a garment go to waste, even if there’s something about it that means it doesn’t fit in our main collection. That’s why we sell samples and faulty items on our Uskees Depop Store
About
We’re a UK brand specialising in joyful riffs on classic fashion. Our stylish
inventions weave an aura of magic around craft, creativity and lives well
lived.
Our purpose
It’s simple, really. We want you to have a longer relationship with your garments.
Inspired by workwear, we design timeless (but contemporary) garments for everyday utility. Colour is at the core of what we do, using the natural world and culture around us to create pieces that enhance your wardrobe.
We work with textiles that are durable, wearable, and look great. Our garments have details that have proven useful for workers over centuries, from reinforced elbow patches and tool pockets to durable construction like felled seams and triple needle stitching.
Repair Service
As part of our commitment to longevity, we provide a mini repair kit with most of our garments — meaning you can fix any small general wears and tears with ease. These include thread, a patch of fabric and a thimble.
For any major repairs, we offer a free comprehensive repair service for Uskees members. Meaning you send your garment to us, and we'll fix your garment at no charge, for as long as we can.
Buy Back Scheme
If you’re not wearing your Uskees garment as much as you used to, our Buy Back Scheme means you can get something new, while we give your old garment a new life.
You can return it to us and we'll give you a discount voucher to use for your next Uskees purchase.
We'll decide where best to repurpose your old garment, this could be on our preloved marketplace, a charitable donation or repuprosed into something else as part of our textile recycling initiative.
