Graceful Flow Clothing
Upcycling and Alterations
In effort to pursue a more sustainably conscious vision, GFC up-cycles dead stock fabrics and related materials and makes them into new clothing.
the point is to be mindfully simple in practical ways while still looking fabulous. just in the U.S. alone, GreenAmerica.org tells us that the EPA reports about 16 million tons of textile waste per year, which roughly over three million is incinerated and 10 million tons goes to landfills (sad times). to put into percentages, 62.5% goes to landfills, 18.7% gets incinerated (aka burned), 14.5% actually gets recycled, and the other 4.3% gets exported overseas. Shocking numbers right? And that’s just from the States, lets change some of the numbers.
I primarily perform alteration services for ready-to-wear (RTW), streetwear, and occasionally formal wear (i.e. Suit Jackets, trousers, dresses, etc.). You can send an inquiry by messaging me on instagram: @__ clara __bark
For transparency, I will not be able to perform alterations to athletic wear. Due to material types found in athletic wear that will require specialised equipment that I simply don’t have access to at the moment.
