At Crowded Closet, we aim to live sustainably. That's why we look for new ways to use discarded goods, remaking them into something useful. ​Shop our Linens Department for these recreated products!

Recycled rugs

  • ​Locally made from recycled materials of corduroy, denim and wool.
  • Hand woven using the ancient warp-weighted loom technique.
  • Reversible and washable.
  • Priced according to size.

​Like new pillows

  • ​Gently-used feather pillows are refurbished with an energy and waste efficient technology.
  • Feathers and down are sterilized and deodorized.
  • An ozone-emitting ultraviolet light kills any allergy-causing bacteria.
  • Each pillow gets a brand new crisp, cotton cover.

​In 2019, this totaled 16.3 tons of metal and 81.6 tons of cloth and paper goods.
The committee also applauded the shop’s 10% decrease in energy usage realized
​from implementing energy-efficient features in our new building.
