UPCYCLE YOUR CLOSET
an informative and interactive zine about upcycling, global fashion trade, and how we can each play a part in reducing textile waste
I am excited to announce that UYC is now available!
This zine is designed, printed, and shipped entirely in-studio! To offset some of these costs and lower the price of the print edition over time, I want to offer two options for pre-order:
UPCYCLE YOUR CLOSET
$10 (+3 shipping)
includes
a first edition print of UPCYCLE YOUR CLOSET
on
bright white paper
100% hemp paper
Thank you!
your support at this level will help me provide low-cost and free copies throughout the Rio Grande Valley
