I run a fair trade fashion blog, so it's something I think about all the time.

I have a pair of wedge/espadrille sandals I'd like to update. <br /><br />Also, many charity organizations will recycle ripped or stained clothes that have been donated to them. We have a local charity that sends the clothes they can't sell to a company in Baltimore that makes rags from them.
