An Old Word with a New Life
An Old Word with a New Life
Fripper is a centuries-old word for someone who dealt in old and secondhand clothing. Eventually, the word fell out of use.
We thought, it deserved another life.
At Fripper, we look at what happens next.
Instead of asking, “Can this be recycled?” we ask, “How can this be recovered?”
Because landfill shouldn't be the first answer.
We're starting with the next generation.
Through hands-on workshops, young people learn to see textiles not as something to throw away—but as material with possibilities.
