We just spent two days down in Hackney Wick (along with our translator for the Southerners) at the @creativeresearchgroup sustainable fashion pop-up 🎉
It was so bloody good and our mums would be so proud because we made loads of friends. And saved money on accommodation by sleeping in the van.
@bibi.bazz was an EXCELLENT host/organiser (who definitely had a crush on Gary) and also was showcasing her rather unique design of turning old shoes into handbags 👟->👜
@at.greg was ALSO an excellent host/organiser and looks pretty damn good in our poncho - at least in my humble opinion 🙏
@anu.label is seen here slaying without remorse in our lil green bucket hat, and she also makes the killer knitted headwear you see Marlon in - as well as knitted skirts! 🧵
@____xen_ is not only responsible for that beautiful blue bag (made from upcycled scraps) but also responsible for being a super sound fella that overcame his fear of public speaking (no excuses now mate) 🙊
@beccaamorgan_ has an undiagnosed condition where she simply cannot stop knitting. Doctors are flummoxed. It's a good job she makes banging garments. 🧶
@hannahwildlondon is making things from discarded balloons! Someone's gotta do it! Need I say more? 🎈
There was even more too, but I'm only allowed to post so many pics at once... Maybe part 2 is incoming?

Top tip: make friends with the other stalls at a pop-up and get free stuff 🤝
@____xen_ is making incredible upcycled garms, adding sexy shiny bits like he's done to my jacket, but also crafting mad impressive bags from various scraps of material like the one you get a sneak peak at in this lil vid 🤙 check him out to see what else he's done!
@creativeresearchgroup thanks for the opportunity to meet all these lovely fellow crafty bar stools

@creativeresearchgroup has put together a sustainable fashion market down in Hackney for today and tomorrow.

I made Marlon get in the cold water just to TRULY represent the poncho's versatility 😉 Dry robe? Never heard of 'em.
A lil show-off of the new logo on the hat too - nice eh!?
Some of our stuff is available on our website - but if it's not, give us an email and we'll sort you out with something bespoke 😘

Superb day at @_makersmarket in Stockport today! Here's a lil selection of some of our favourite picks from the markets.
@junk.to.funky - turning junk to funk, need we say more?
@printandpigment - vibrant & homely prints for all to enjoy!
@oxford.maps - I have a bit of a thing for antique maps so I accidentally bought a few
@exclusive_scoop - lovely fella selling lovely ice cream
And last AND least - cheers to @kierandgreen for helping me on the stall today while Marlon is on "holiday" 😘

What do you reckon to this funky fresh Friday idea of ours?
We've been hunting down damaged sweaters and repairing them with our tent material to give them a new life!
It goes pretty well with the hats too, if I say so myself 😘
Only two have been made so far and this one in the video has already been sold at one of our market stalls!

We're on tour!
Can we call it that? I think so. Yeah, why not.
We'll be spreading the good vibes and chatting with everyone about festival waste and how to solve it! And playing the ukulele. Badly.
Come and find us at these @_makersmarket days all around Greater Manchester! 10am till 4pm. 🤠

Big team craft day 🤠
We had the ever so talented @zosia.lau and @guylyner come down to our unit for the day to show us how it's REALLY done 🪡
Gary seemed pretty surprised to see so many people in our little gaff, but he'll just have to get used to the new team 👊
All sunshine and smiles for today's post because I forgot it was April fool's day, whoops

We've all been there... Personally, we find networking a LOT easier in the festival fields 🎪🕺
While we mill around at conferences and not making the most of them - we're also preparing for a big new drop of some fancy upcycled tent garments 👀
If you're having an anti-social day, you can take a look at our new snazzy website without having to talk to a single SOUL. Let us know what you think, it's spanking new ya'no (link in bio)

Woah, that new logo looks different!? Well, we now get them embroidered! 🧵
We reckon it looks smoooooth (as long as the operator is equally as smooth) (thanks to @we.are.notorious for being the smoothest in town)
As the Reclaim Team emerges out of our social media hibernation, so will a few cheeky new things that we've been working on in the cave 🤠
See you very soon, you cheeky, funky lot.

The time has come for nice things again. Things like potatoes, parsley and onions.
Things like gardening with your mum.
Things like Grandma's horse manure.
Things like Reclaim Tentwear hats protecting your lil' noggin'
Things like fashion at a blisteringly slow speed.
You can even buy one of these nice things from our NEW WEBSITE! What!? Yeah that's a thing now 🤠
We'll be seeing you around 💚

We're always out testing lining materials to make sure you will be as snug as a bug in a rug, fighting a thug, stroking a pug, stepping on a plug, dropping your favourite mug.....when the new products drop.
Sorry I think I got a bit distracted there.

He's checking it twice 👀

Yeah, nah, it's still a tent ⛺

Much like our skin in this gloomy Winter, we're going to be transparent with you.
THINGS WE LEARNED: Fire is hot, some people have big heads, and lots more. We even get a little bit philosophical.
But don't worry, it's not all serious; Gary still has some undesirable opinions to share at the end.

None of these questions and more answered in our RECLAIM SUMMER ROUND-UP! 💥
It was a bit of a long one... but for good reason, we promise! Loads of fun facts about our stats of the year, plus what we learned about ourselves and the business ⛺💚
See you soon in the first Summer Recap!

It's cold! But not for long...
We've been working behind the scenes to create the perfect outdoor snuggly poncho, and we've cracked it.
Keep your pretty eyes peeled for this prototype's next moves! It's going to live a good life, I'm sure...

HISTORY OF RECLAIM SHORTS 🩳⛺
Today we travel back in time and then go back forward again, but now with all these shorts on the table! I suppose we should talk about them.
Let this be a lesson to you all: just give it a go and it will work eventually!

2024 SUMMER ROUND-UP 🎉💥🪇
It's been a Summer where the hard work has paid off, but it's also made us aware of how much there is to do. The trick is to stay optimistic! 🕺
Our next best chapter is Autumn/Winter. Bet you thought we'd go into hibernation until next Summer? Hell no, we've got too many fun ideas and too much tent material to upcycle!
We love what we do, and we love that you love what we do. Thanks for sticking with us.
Lots of love,
Reclaim Tentwear 💚

Our good fella Marlon was invited onto the all-together too comfortable sofa of @onalevelpodcast_ to talk around the good, bad and the ugly sides of festivals.
These two chaps certainly know how to bring the energy, and there is a lot of brilliant content from the full episode that was a bit too... truthful for us to post here.
You can find more on their account 🎙️ @onalevelpodcast_

We are very pleased to welcome you to our new logo.
After working on Reclaim for our first full year and first full festival season we have learnt a lot. We did a lot of things well but also found out a lot of things that we need to work on but with that knowledge we are ready to move forward and a new logo was the perfect way to announce this.
Sometimes you need to fail to succeed.
I say this a lot but it's never not true. There are big things on the horizon.

We might have been low on energy, but we weren't low on perfectly good abandoned tents ⛺
A tiny snippet of the salvaging process at the end of Boomtown 2024. Enthusiasm was seeping out of our bones 🙃 but we gotta do what we gotta do!
Please excuse the bad audio - this was filmed on a potato phone because we were a bit busy and a bit very tired.
We'll be serving up some fresh updates with our plans with these materials soon!

What a surprise. We've been in a festival field having a great time.
We worked with our fellow tent upcycling enthusiasts @camplighttents at @boomtownfairofficial this year!
A pretty darn cool system of providing pre-pitched tents for people... All from salvaged tents from previous years' waste! Wow. What a Good System.
They're also part of the @re_action_collective which brought us together!
Have a nice day x

We're back! Where have we been? I'm glad you asked, because we made a video answering just that.
Look at all these chickens (sorry - tents) that we got from just Boomtown this year. More on that later!
Can't wait to be locked in the unit... experimenting with each other. 🤔
See ya soon. 💚

I urge you to watch until the end to see what kind of inspirational chant we came up with to save the planet.
