11 Affordable Ways to Make Your Wardrobe More Sustainable

Supporting circular fashion is activism on a small but impactful scale.

It’s about aligning your style with your desire to do something good for the environment.

The sacrifices are minimal. The value proposition is great.

Buying clothes has become expensive.

Not just for us. For the planet.

Manufacturing clothes puts a heavy strain on the environment.

But a slight change in your shopping habits could help you save money (and cities like Miami from rising sea levels).

1 in 3 apparel items bought in the last year were secondhand.

These shoppers are part of the solution to climate change.

They’re also saving money as clothes become more expensive.

Buying upcycled originals helps support local designers, too.

So shop tutt and feel good about your wardrobe.

According to ThredUp, secondhand is expected to grow into a $90 billion market in the next 10 years.

Still, some people are on the fence about shopping secondhand.

If you feel funny about buying or wearing “used” clothes, think about it this way: you wear used clothes every day.

Feel good about shopping here.

Your purchase helps you:

  1. Save money on clothes.

  2. Support emerging fashion designers.

  3. Support a minority-owned small business.

  4. Spread awareness about circular fashion.

  5. Bring new life to a forgotten garment.

  6. Reduce your impact on the planet.

  7. Express your unique style.

Delivering fast fashion to consumers comes at a high cost for the planet as well as the garment workers that sometimes risk their lives and well-being for us to be able to buy a cute shirt to wear on a weekend outing.

But that doesn't mean shopping has to be depressing. There are so many ways to make your wardrobe more sustainable. It starts with bringing circularity to our wardrobe choices.

Hi, I’m Bob.

I created tutt in 2021 as a vehicle for my passion for sustainable fashion. I learned how to upcycle vintage garments at Oolite Arts in Miami Beach, Florida, in 2021.

Since then, I’ve been upcycling away. I’ve also curated a collection of vintage clothing to help everyone join the circular fashion movement.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the upcycling process on my YouTube channel. Check out my LinkedIn for content about our brand journey.

Thanks to our shoppers for your continued support.

Sustainable fashion for all sizes and genders.

The fashion industry is a significant contributor to carbon emissions, which is one of the main causes of global warming and the resulting rise in sea levels. 

By promoting sustainable fashion and reducing waste in the industry, we can help reduce carbon emissions and slow down the rate of sea level rise. This is important because rising sea levels can lead to more frequent and severe flooding, erosion, and other negative impacts on coastal communities.

tutt is a Miami-based circular fashion brand that's bringing a touch of whimsy to sustainable fashion. 

We believe circular fashion should be for everybody.

If you’ve ever browsed upcycled clothes and thought you could DIY it, you’re right.

It’s easy.

You don’t even need a sewing machine for most of these upcycles. You just have to be creative and opportunistic when choosing fabrics and garments to upcycle.

A small crossbody bag adds style and utility to your outfit. Using sustainable materials like upcycled garments, deadstock fabrics, reused hardware, and scraps, you can sew one together in no time.
