PHILOSOPHY / WHO WE ARE / CARE OF YOUR ITEM/ PRESS


MODify/d partners with companies in the apparel business to re/use, re/cycle, re/purpose damages, samples and that which would normally be discarded. [visit our LINKS page to learn who our partners are]

MODify/d re/thinks our collective relationship with what might be seen as useless and makes wearable and usable things [in limited editions] for people and their homes.

In our attempt to re/duce MODify/d strives to make ecologically sound choices. We use kapok or recylced plastic bottle filling for our pillows and stuffies. We use vintage trims whenever possible. We use cardboard packaging and inserts we receive for our hang tags.

MODify/d is based in the Bay Area of California and works with individual artists, designers, and artisan owned sewing factories to make sweatshop free products.

MODify/d also donates a percentage of its proceeds to various charities. We tell you the percentage and the charity on our hang tags. Part of the proceeds of our endangered species stuffies goes directly to charities involved with saving and preserving animals.

We were happy to make contributions to the NRDC for 2010 and 2011. We are looking for our 2012 charity and will update here once we choose one.
