Textile waste is a big problem and trying to find alternative ways to give our clothes a new life is a major challenge.
Unlike some categories of waste, clothing textiles are very difficult to recover. For this reason, the increasingly widespread 'disposable' attitude towards clothing is extremely costly for our dear old planet.
Do you understand the problem? Well, let's get down to business and try our best to reuse our clothes.
Let's start with bras! Here are 4 ways to give them a new life.
First of all, you can take them to second-hand markets, which are now everywhere. Obviously, this is possible if your underwear is in good condition, so you can also get some money out of it ;)

Secondly, if you are a creative person who likes handicrafts, you can repair your old bras. With a needle, scissors, and the help of a few tutorials, you will easily find a way to modify your underwear as you like.
It is then possible to donate your clothes to those in need. Many women in the world, in fact, are forced to give up buying new underwear, the cost of which is sometimes very high. Turning to some association dedicated to the donation of clothes can make them happy.
Finally, you can use your old bras to create some very pretty scented bags. By joining the two cups of a bra with a thread and needle and inserting rice with essential oil or even scented dried flowers, you could reuse it as a real bag to perfume drawers or wardrobes.
So, don't throw away your bra and reinvent! Happy recycling to all!
