After Patagonia’s ‘Worn Wear’ initiative started offering refurbished pieces at a discount and store credit for handing in your used wear, it looks like more brands have had their eyes opened at the possibility of putting in place their own forward-thinking and eco-friendly schemes.
Specifically, the latest brand to do so is none other than The North Face, in order to combat sustainability issues the label has now started to repair faulty items to a nearly-new state and sell them at a discount. This is all a part of The North Face Renewed’s plan to create a more circular business model, it has been launched this month and will run until September as a way of testing to see if the scheme works. All we can say is that we hope it does!
