Upcycled Gifts and Merchandise
Who is the Maker?
The TCB Remake Programme is a two-year initiative that trains previously unemployed seamstresses to transform excess materials such as banners, coffee sacks, denim and surplus textiles into functional, design-led products while building their own small businesses.
By choosing Remake, you are not only reducing waste, but directly supporting local entrepreneurs to grow sustainable livelihoods.
Each product is made by skilled sewists and makers who are part of the TCB programme. Through this work, they earn an income, gain experience producing larger orders, and continue building their own businesses.
This is not mass production. It is purposeful, circular design.
