#WISDOMWEDNESDAY WITH LOOP - MAY '25

🪡 Mend It May
Image:Â Pinterest
Meet your new superpower: a needle, thread, and the stubborn refusal to let perfectly good clothes die young.
That $1.50 jacket I've worn for 25 years? Its secret isn't luck - it's strategic mending (and ignoring trends like they're expired coupons). This #MendItMay, let's embrace the joyful chaos of repair.
- Fast fashion hates this one trick:Â Mending helps extend a garment's life by just 9 months and cut its footprint by 30%.
- Obviates landfill audacity:Â We toss garments piled as high as the Eiffel Tower every 16 seconds.
- Embroiders your ego:Â Visible mending = wearable bragging rights.
This book has become my repair bible - I return to it year after year for its perfect blend of wit and wisdom. Goldmark (a Broadway set designer-turned-repair advocate) doesn't just preach about fixing things; she shows how repair is radical self-sufficiency and the ultimate middle finger to waste culture. After reading it, you'll look at every loose button as an opportunity for rebellion.

Don’t Buy - Rescue
Video: ReCommerce Atacama
The Desert Story That's Now Finding Hope
A year ago, Atacama's 40,000-ton fashion graveyard was Loop Swim's #WisdomWednesday story-of-the-week. Today, meet ReCommerce Atacama - the rebel team undoing it - one rescued garment at a time.
While brands debate "circularity," this great platform lives it:
→ Digging up unworn Calvin Klein, Levi’s + more from Chile’s desert sands
→ Giving them away (you only cover shipping)
→ Selling out drops in 5 hours
Why it’s genius?
✔ No guilt, just action - Wear the solution to fashion’s waste crisis.
✔ Storytelling that stings - Their campaign makes you feel the desert’s scars.
✔ Radical transparency - No polish, just purpose: "Empty the desert."
Sound familiar? At Loop Swim, we know real change starts with bold moves. ReCommerce Atacama proves: sustainability isn’t a trend - it’s the future.
