Flip It!
Don't dump it! Flip It!
With Flip It!, our mission is to educate on the growing problems associated with fast-fashion and the fashion industry. We want to show children solutions to these problems and how they can help. We also aim to give children a creative outlet to express themselves by teaching them ways to upcycle and personalise their clothes.
