RE-issue jeans by Thrifty Couture, for The Big Issue's new social trading shop

We have just launched our first collaboration with The Big Issue and their new Social Trading Shop.

Take a look at the great one-off, RE-issue jeans our team is creating for the lovely supporters of The Big Issue!

Every pair is made to order, from donated jeans, and comes with a Ticket of Authentication. 

At £250 a pair, the price may seem high but this goes to fund the training and rehabilitation of homeless men and women in cities like London.  The training, such as journalism and creative writing, gives them employable skills, and the confidence to go and find a job or, even, to set up a business of their own. 

After a year, if you want, you can return the jeans and get a 50% refund or, a different pair of RE-issue jeans, or donate the £125 to another charity of your choice. It's what John calls social echo clothing.

So you see why Thrifty Couture just had to support this brilliant initiative by John Bird and his team!  Visit shop.bigissue.com for more information and to buy your very own pair of RE-issue jeans and your own unique, piece of social echo clothing.
