Apply to Create With Us

Blue Greenie is a remake shop powered by artists. We start with donated clothes and materials — you turn them into something worth wearing again.

We're looking for textile artists, upcyclers, and experimental makers. If you work with fabric, love a challenge, and care about where fashion is headed, we want to meet you. You get donated materials to work with and real customers who are already looking for what you make. Every artist who works with us is helping prove that the best new clothes are made from the ones already out there.
