Let's Talk Upcycling | Salad's Revolution in the Arab World with Loulya from FabricAID | Ep 10

In Episode 10 of 'Let's Talk Upcycling - Dialogues with Refash,' we explore the sustainable fashion movement in the Arab regions and its impact through the lens of the brand Salad, with Loulya Halwany, Senior Marketing and Sales Manager of FabricAID, joining us from Lebanon. Originating from FabricAID, a social enterprise dedicated to reducing waste and providing dignified shopping experiences for marginalised communities, Salad is a high-end, genderless brand crafted with consciousness. Starting with the innovative repurposing of 4,000 previously unwanted suits into unique, handmade ready-to-wear line, Salad showcases how creative upcycling can revolutionise the fashion industry. Loulya walks us through how Salad combats fast fashion, the role of donation bins, their engagement in educational programs with schools to educate the youth, and navigates the evolving perceptions of upcycling, thrifting, and secondhand shopping in the Arab world. This episode brings you Salad's journey of upcycling, reflecting its name—a sustainable mix of different elements with a significant environmental and societal impact.
