WHILE THIS PROGRAM WAS CREATED AND IMPLEMENTED A FEW YEARS AGO, YOU NEED TO KNOW WE ARE BOUT COMMUNITY AND WILL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY. TAKE A LOOK BELOW TO SEE HOW WE TURNED TRASH INTO TREASURE!

Fashion for a cause.

CrownKeepers and the City of Charlotte's Solid Waste Services Department present the annual happening, #REPURPOSEDCLT: An Upcycled Fashion/Furniture Show + Auction.

The event is designed to encourage local residents to upcycle as a way to reduce waste. The show features looks from a variety of designers and showcases how upcycling can reduce waste and improve your personal health.

Through the fashion show, local designers will select 'trashed' materials then upcycle them into fashionable clothing and furniture. This year, attendees contributed $1,390 to the advancement of CrownKeepers.
