Context
Offshoring – The Problem: For decades, offshoring promised cheap clothes but left communities hollowed out, jobs lost, and skills wasted. What replaced it were insecure shifts, gig scraps, and underground sweatshops. Fast fashion made it worse — exploitative, polluting, disposable.
Reshoring with Purpose – The Opportunity: Now we have a chance to do it differently — a radical new blueprint for fashion’s second chance. Re Make is bringing production back with purpose good jobs, new skills, true sustainability, and wealth that stays in communities.
