Bridging Sustainability and Compassion
We stand at the crossroads where sustainability meets compassion, with a single, unwavering purpose – To encourage sustainable living and support marginalised communities.
Physical or social constraints can vastly limit employment opportunities. To accommodate the diverse challenges that individuals can face, we provide flexible work arrangements for our team while ensuring equitable wages.
Being mindful of the fashion industry's troubled past, we intentionally cultivate meaningful relationships forged upon mutual respect and collaboration.
By collaborating with artisans from diverse backgrounds, we break down barriers and work towards co-creating an ideal world that sees everyone as equals, embodying the values of community, transparency, quality, sustainability and compassion.
Mardiana
Being deaf, Mardiana found it difficult to secure a job in Singapore despite being an experienced seamstress.
Being a part of Re-store helped Mardiana reignite her skills for sewing and allowed her to earn supplemental income and contribute to supporting her family, bringing her a new sense of accomplishment.
“ I feel happy and good that I am able to be back in the sewing field after such a long time and enjoy the friendly environment and people in Re-store. ”
See Mui
Like many of her family members who had experience in sewing, See Mui expressed interest in sewing through Re-store’s connection with The Singapore Association For The Deaf.
Being a part of Re-store helped See Mui learn more about sewing and provided her the opportunity to get to know and work with other women, a few who are similarly deaf like her.
" Working in Re-store is like a family and I like the warm and friendly environment. "
