Transforming old clothes

In an era where the environment is at the heart of all concerns, transforming our old clothes is a step towards a better future for the well-being of our planet. As part of this approach, TILLI shares with you new ways to transform your wardrobe. A way to bring in newness without throwing away your old clothes thanks to the tips of our Tillists.

Mittens to protect you from the cold

Long associated with mountain excursions, mittens are making a comeback by standing out from the survival kit in style. A trend to exploit by metamorphosing our jumpers into mittens! Season after season, we have new desires for colours, shapes and textures that drive us to constantly renew our jumper collection. The solution has been found: select a range of colours from your old jumpers to match your new wardrobe and our Tillistes will help you transform them into trendy mittens!

A sweater with revised sleeves

We all have a sweatshirt at the back of our wardrobe that we've stopped wearing for lack of affinity. It's possible to bring an old sweatshirt up to date! For the past few seasons, women's wardrobes have been reinventing themselves by transforming elements of the garment into others. Shirt fronts, for example, can be transformed into sleeves and bring modernity to a classic model. We wanted to share this new process with you, so that you too can add an innovative touch to your sweatshirt.

A purse made from old jeans

A key piece in our wardrobe, jeans go with everything but can also quickly go out of fashion depending on their shape or colour! A simple, timeless tip: transform your jeans into a shoulder bag in the shape of a purse. Easy to wear, this accessory goes with all your outfits to leave room for something new in your wardrobe. You can modernise it with a leather handle or apply pearls or embroidery.

An upcycled bag to make a splash at the bakery

To this day a baguette of bread is still sold in a paper bag; not very environmentally friendly! To preserve your bread in the best possible way while remaining ethical and innovative, you have the option of recycling one of your shirt sleeve bottoms to turn it into a bread bag. Combining creativity and eco-responsibility remains one of our main approaches that you can develop with our Tillistes.
