Clothes Collecting Weekend with Schmidttakahashi

Give your old clothes a second lease on life this weekend at MERCADO SAN COSME and The WYE where Berlin label Schmidttakahashi will be collecting second hand goods in exchange for a free shot of Mezcal! While the barter might appear a bit skewed to benefit the label, I can assure you that Schmidttakahashi has good intentions for your discarded pieces. With each donated garment, Schmidttakahashi will meticulously document and archive it as they repurpose your piece into a ‘new’ look. Sewn into each article of clothing is an RFID chip that chronicles the item’s history and through the label’s website, donors and new owners can track the item’s transformation. Yup, very much like an open adoption for clothes. What are you waiting for? Dig up your neglected duds and give them to a more loving family!
