Zero Waste Fashion Program - Upcycling & Repurposing
At The Eclectic Chic Boutique we have taken the initiative to be more eco friendly and promote sustainability. Working with our local clothing designers and fabric artists we have created a program where customers can bring in their clothing or other fabric items and have them repaired, repurposed, or redesigned. Our goal is to reduce waste and help create new opportunities for the artists we work with. We can do consultations in person at our boutique in Montclair, or over Zoom.
Update Your WardrobeGetting tired of your wardrobe? Things don't fit the way they should? Want to wear something fresh and new? Have your clothing redesigned! Bring in your tops, jeans, and skirts and have them redesigned to the latest fashion trends. Work with a local clothing designer who can tailor your clothes to your body shape and tastes. No need to throwaway or donate your unfashionable clothes.

Repair & RepurposeMake the old new again by having your clothing or fabric items repaired or repurposed. Have holes, stains, or worn spots patched and stylized. Have a favorite bag be turned into a one-of-a-kind fashion tote. Turn that dress you wore once into a casual outfit you can wear for any occasion. Take a worn out sweater and have it turned into a pillow. The possibilities are endless.

Less Waste & More SavingsDid you know that:
Keeping your clothes, purses, and other fabric items helps to reduce pollution on land and the ocean. Updating and repurposing saves you money because you don't need to replace them. |
Preserve Your Favorite ThingsHave a favorite shirt or pair of jeans that fits you just right? Prolong its life by having it be repaired or updated. Clothing or fabric items that have been stained, torn, or worn out from years of wear can be given new life with some creative patchwork, embroidery, and some styling. Our makers can help you put a creative twist on a only favorite.
