TOAST Circle
We are guided by timeless design, creating long-lasting pieces from quality materials with a richness of texture. We value the time and the people behind each of our garments and continuously explore resourceful ways to keep our garments in use for longer.
Our circular initiatives include TOAST Repair, our free mending service, TOAST Exchange, our events-based clothes swap and TOAST Renewed, our collection of creatively repaired pieces.
TOAST Reworn, a way to purchase previously worn pieces from past collections, will be launching later this year.

Keeping Well-Crafted Pieces in Circulation
It’s vital that we take responsibility for the items we produce, to prolong their lifecycle and reduce waste – but we can’t do this alone. If you would like to donate TOAST pieces that no longer work for you, we will ensure they will be loved once again.
Repair | Our Free Mending Service
Our free mending service gives new life to your worn TOAST garments. Bring any TOAST garment in need of repair to one of our shops and our colleagues will discuss suitable mending options, from sashiko repair and darning to patching and appliqué.
Exchange | Our Swapping Events
TOAST Exchange explores a garment’s life beyond its first wearer. Each item features a story label detailing its history from the previous owner. Swap a TOAST item you’ve cherished for another at your local clothes swapping event on selected days throughout the year.
Renewed | Creatively Repaired Pieces
Our collection of one-of-a-kind, creatively repaired pieces. Each item has been thoughtfully mended to give it a new lease of life. From sashiko repaired workwear garments to darned knitwear and intricately embroidered dresses.
Our Partnership with TRAID
We have partnered with TRAID, a UK charity working towards reducing the social and environmental impact of our clothes.
TOAST items that we are not able to repurpose through our Circle initiatives will be donated to TRAID for them to responsibly reuse. 10% of the revenue from the sale of Reworn garments will also be donated to TRAID’s long-term programme with educational foundation Rights Education And Development Centre (READ), an NGO supporting communities in Tamil Nadu, South India.
TRAID is a registered charity in England and Wales (297489), partnering with Rights Education And Development Centre (READ). READ is registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act 1975.
