Green greetings Steemians,
Did you know about 15% of fabric intended for clothing ends up on the cutting room floor as textile offcuts?
One of our goals at @ecodesigns is to stop textile waste pollutions that results from the sewing of garments via offcuts. At @ecodesigns, we are collecting these textile offcuts and repurposing them to produce “Ankara” bracelets, bowties, necklaces and earrings.

Countdown Day 8: Ankara designed bracelets, necklaces, earings, etc made from textile offcuts
At @ecodesigns, we are repurposing very small pieces of textile offcuts to make these beautiful ecoDesigned Anakara necklaces that you can easily match with your dress.
Besides the necklaces, we are making bracelets, earrings and other creative items with very small pieces of textile offcuts. With just glue and hard papers most of which are waste papers such as old calenders, cartoon boxes, etc, we are able to make these beautiful “ecoDesigned Ankara Bracelets, earrings, necklaces and other creative items as you can see below.
Our upcycled products are both for women and men and this explains why we are making these ecoDesigned Ankara Bowties for lovers of bowties to dress with and look gorgeous. An imported Bowtie costs more than $1.5 in the Cameroonian market but our upcycled bowties made from textile offcuts cost $0.6. Like the bow ties, the Earrings, bracelets and Fabric flowers are sold at prices that are affordable to almost everyone.
