A new concept in Indian fashion has been launched to kick-start the recycling of quality Indian clothing by Top Indian Designers Ltd. Labelled as the first website to buy, sell and hire Indian fashion online, the company is the brainchild of Director Shashi Gossai who aims to promote the significance of recycling top quality fashion items among the Indian community in the UK .
‘Most girls only wear an outfit once...while others can't afford the huge price tag. I want to encourage Indian ladies to get their clothes out of their cupboards and sell them. To make money for themselves and help the less fortunate to afford the,’ said Shashi.
The textiles industry is the world’s second highest polluter behind only the oil industry. And many high quality Indian fashion items take low paid factory workers months to make, yet they are only getting worn for a few hours.
‘It’s a win-win-win,’ she adds. ‘Owners get to make money from items they don’t wear, others get the chance to buy them at an affordable price, and everyone gets to recycle clothing and reduce the detrimental environmental impact of the textile industry.
