About us
Today, our clothes are disposable and cheap, while the human and environmental costs required to make them are tremendous. For the millions of mostly 18 to 24-year-old women (who represent 80% of the fashion supply chain), these jobs can be the best first step out of poverty. Yet the industry is rife with low wages, inadequate worker protections, unsafe conditions, and unrest. The current system needs a remake, and we are here to do just that. Our mission is to build a conscious consumer movement. Remake tells stories that bring shoppers, brands, and makers into a movement to shape the fashion industry’s relationship with the millions of people in its supply chain. When we know their stories, we can use our collective voice and shopping dollars to improve and shape the lives of people who make our clothes.

/ 🎉 In a pivotal moment for both the sustainable fashion movement and garment worker rights, Levi Strauss & Co. has signed the Pakistan Accord, a legally binding agreement aimed at ensuring safe working conditions in garment factories in Pakistan. This historic step signifies a long-awaited commitment by Levi’s to protect their workers and contribute to the transformation of the fashion industry. The Pakistan Accord builds on the success of the original Bangladesh Accord, which was established after the devastating Rana Plaza factory collapse in 2013 that killed over 1,100 garment workers. In the aftermath, US brands operating in the factory came under fire for their inaction, leaving a gap in leadership when it came to protecting the very workers who made their products. Today, with US brands like Gap and Levi’s signing this Accord, we are witnessing a much-needed shift—an acknowledgment that when brands, garment workers, and activists lock arms, positive change is not only possible but inevitable. This signing is also a testament to the persistent campaigning of Remake and other advocacy organizations, who have led multi-year campaign efforts to push Levi’s towards taking this meaningful step. This coalition’s collective campaigning have garnered: 📣 Over 2,000 emails sent to Levi’s executives and board members, demanding action 📣 A petition with nearly 70,000 signatures, in collaboration with Ekō and the Clean Clothes Campaign 📣 30+ live activations at Levi’s stores across the globe 📣 Thousands of social media engagements from supporters, including posts, mentions, and digital actions This victory is a reminder that sustained collective activism works—and when garment workers, advocates, and brands come together, we can create a fashion industry that prioritizes the safety and dignity of its workers. As a leading force in the sustainable fashion movement, Remake will continue to push for systemic change across the industry, ensuring that this momentum extends to more brands and workers across the globe.

Remake's VP of Advocacy Emily Stochl is featured in California Apparel News alongside fashion sustainability leaders reflecting on the progress we've made to address human rights and climate justice in the fashion industry: "Disasters like the Tazreen and Ali Enterprises factory fires in 2012 and the Rana Plaza factory collapse in 2013 were entirely preventable. In many ways they led to the International Accord, which today protects over 2 million workers in Bangladesh and Pakistan. After years of grassroots campaigning, the Garment Worker Protection Act passed into law in California in 2021, addressing the root causes of systemic wage theft in apparel manufacturing by eliminating the piece-rate system of pay and holding fashion brands jointly liable for workplace violations. This led to the introduction of the proposed federal FABRIC Act, which builds on its precedent-setting workplace protections with additional major incentives to accelerate responsible, domestic apparel manufacturing. Currently, the FABRIC Act has 380-plus business endorsements, nine Senate co-sponsors, 21 House co-sponsors, and its passage would mark another major milestone in the journey of sustainability in fashion."
