a few of our practices:
• swap - fans of ace&jig swap styles they no longer wear with each other, giving the pieces a new life!
• Ace & Jig Community Closet - extend the lifespan of ace&jig items by buying or selling pre-loved ace&jig in our online resale portal!
• mend - at ace&jig we encourage you to celebrate loved, lived-in, and lasting clothing by using our custom-designed, woven textile scraps to mend and patch your well-loved, well-worn clothing! see how we've used #aceandjigscraps to bring well-loved or damaged ace&jig pieces back to life in our past Visible Mending collections.
• upcycle - many members of our community upcycle their ace&jig pieces into one-of-a-kind creations. we love that they share our commitment to finding a purpose for every last scrap!
• pass on - write your name and the date on our ace&jig hangtags when you pass it on, swap, or resell it, to track it's lifespan to help keep a record of the many hands it has passed through and the garment’s lifespan.
we design and create all of our own yarn dye woven textiles and styles, working closely with our Fair Trade Certified™ partners in India.
