This year, we’re taking sustainable fashion to the next level... by ditching clothes altogether! That’s right—introducing The Nest’s Nudist Colony, where the most sustainable fashion you can wear, is nothing at all.
Okay, okay—April Fools! (you can go ahead and put your clothes back on).
But here’s something that’s not a joke: A dump truck’s worth of clothing is thrown away or incinerated every single second. That adds up to over 92 million tons of textile waste each year. The fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters on the planet, with fast fashion leading to overproduction, exploitative labor, and clothing that barely lasts a season before ending up in a landfill.
At The Nest, we believe in giving clothes a second life. Here’s how we’re making a difference:
✅ Secondhand Shopping: We curate pre-loved fashion so you can look amazing without adding to the waste problem. Shop in-store everyday 11am-7pm.
✅ Mending & Tailoring Services: A small repair can save a garment from the landfill and keep your wardrobe timeless. Book the service here.
✅ Slow Fashion Workshops: From sewing classes to clothing swaps, we help you rethink your relationship with fashion and teach you skills to upcycle and elongate the life cycle of your clothing. Learn more here.
✅ We are Launching a Textile Donation Center (expected opening) in August 2025: Many people don't know that at big box thrift stores only 50% of what is donated makes it onto the sales floor. And of that 50%, only 25% actually sells and is rehomed. The things that don't make it on the sales floor get baled up and shipped overseas to places like Chile where the planet's largest clothing dump exists in the Atacama Desert (you can literally see the clothing waste from space). By opening our Nest Donation Center (expected Aug '25), we will do all we can to make sure what is donated to us is rehomed, repurposed, or recycled right here in the United States, where the waste was generated.
You can directly support the mission of our Donation Center and help us generate impact in the textile recycling space directly through our Patreon channel. Subscriptions will directly support our work and help us cut the fashion industries waste, carbon emissions, and rehome clothing to not only people who want new clothes but need them.
