How We Turn Fabric Remnants into Fashion Must-Haves

How We Turn Fabric Remnants into Fashion Must-Haves

At Theresa Cotton, we believe fashion should feel good—not just on you, but in your heart too. That’s why we’re always looking for ways to reduce waste and make beautiful things that last. One of the ways we do that? By giving leftover fabric  from our Cotton Wax collection new life!

One-of-a-Kind Bags

We turn our fabric remnants into unique, one-of-a-kind bags. No two are ever the same, so when you carry one, it’s truly yours. And the best part? They’re reversible! Flip them inside out for a totally new look—twice the style, half the impact.

Handmade Espadrilles

Using leftover fabrics, we also produced  hand sewn espadrilles that are comfy, colourful, and completely unique. These shoes are a great way to step into summer sustainably, and they’re just as easy on the planet as they are on your feet.

Add A Headband, T-shirt Or Belt To Your Wardrobe Basics

Sustainable fashion meets everyday style with our headbands, T-shirts and belts crafted from our fabric remnants. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to reduce waste and give new life to leftover textiles. These one-of-a-kind accessories not only add a charming touch to any outfit but also support eco-conscious living.

Why It Matters

Using fabric remnants means we’re keeping perfectly good materials out of landfills and creating something beautiful instead. It’s our small way of showing that fashion can be thoughtful, creative, and kind to the earth.

We’re proud to be part of a movement that values quality over quantity and creativity over waste. Thanks for supporting slow fashion and choosing pieces that tell a story—your story.
