What to do with your old bras
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008The other week I posted about how you need to get rid of any old underwear that’s past its prime. If it’s saggy and baggy it’s only going to make you look and feel the same! And one thing’s for sure, once you’ve got some Gok Wan lingerie, all your other underwear will definitely pale in comparison.
But what can you do with your old bras? Understandably, charity shops aren’t keen on selling-on second hand underwear. However in these days when everyone is going green, there is something you can do to recycle your bras.
Take your bras to Oxfam
Although Oxfam don’t sell bras in their charity shops, they can send them on to their Wastesaver recycling plant. Wastesaver will either recycle the fabric of the bra, or send them on to developing countries where bras from western countries are heavily sought-after.
Get crafty with your bras!
Follow this step-by-step project guide to making a purse from your old bra.
I think the bra bag looks pretty cute – though obviously it depends what bra you use!
You’ll be pleased to know that as the Gok Wan lingerie is made from the best fabrics in the business it will last and last… so hopefully will never end up as a bra bag!
Anyone got any other ideas for recycling bras?
