GK Shell Rags: Sewing a Future with Repurposed Fabrics

Old garments often find new life in ukay-ukay shops, where they can be restyled into fresh looks or serve as affordable clothing options. However, for Mary, Christina, Melisa, and Jemelyn of Gawad Kalinga (GK) Shell Rags Production Center, preloved clothing can go beyond mere reuse. Even well-worn or damaged clothing can still have value, finding new purpose through upcycling and repurposing.
