fashion revolution week denim drive

3/30/2019

  We're joining forces with Habitat for Humanity and the Blue Jeans Go Green™ denim recycling program to offer a solution for unwanted denim. A Finger Lakes Denim Drive will kick off on Earth Day for this recycling effort. Even ripped or stained denim of all colors and styles doesn't have to (and never should) get thrown out. Through the Blue Jeans Go Green™ program, the unwanted denim is recycled into UltraTouch™ Denim Insulation. The insulation is distributed to community-oriented building projects across the country, including many Habitat for Humanity affiliates – often in areas impacted by natural disaster.

During Fashion Revolution Week (April 22-28) activists all over the world remember the historic Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh on the anniversary of the worlds most horrific garment industry accident. During this week of awareness we invite you to join us, recognizing the beginning and end of our clothes' life cycle is often marred with injustices to people and the planet. Keeping denim out of landfills and putting it towards a sustainable building material is one way we can all help solve these complex problems.

Help us recycle 2,000 pieces of unwanted denim (90-100% cotton only) – which is the approximate amount of jeans it takes to insulate an average U.S. sized house. There will be drop off locations throughout The Finger Lakes, including Habitat for Humanity's Restore in Corning and Hector Handmade in Hector from April 22 - 28.   It's going to cost a lot to ship all that denim to the recycling facility, so join us at Corning's ReStore Friday April 26th at 5 for a fundraiser party!

What folks are saying:

"Talking with Jesse makes me feel seen, heard, known, accepted, understood and INSPIRED! She is a great listener, open minded, open hearted and a super creative problem solver. You can feel the passion she has for empowering women, in anyway, but especially through fashion. I really feel like I can share anything with her… really personal issues regarding clothing and body image, or clothing and dating, or clothing and authenticity, clothing and age… She gets it. I highly recommend working with her."
Jill A.

“Before Covid my wardrobe may or may not have been stuck in maternity clothing - stylish, but stretchy....and while I'm pretty committed to stretchy-but-stylish, I'm not committed to stretched and worn OUT. SO the woman I hired is Jesse Beardslee!”
Laura K.


“At a very vulnerable time in all aspects I felt really held by Jesse. She was super non-judgmental and met me exactly where I am. She helped ground me into more confidence that my dream of being an entrepreneurial artist is not only possible, but that I do have the support and ability to be successful; And I walked away with some tools, tips and ideas so that I can take the next steps.”
Nicole C.

"
Jesse came to me as a referral from a friend and I could not be happier with her approach to fashion. She was thorough, experienced, accommodating and supportive through the alteration process of my wedding dress. She also took on altering both my sister’s and my mom’s dress for the big day, with great ideas on how to improve them both. Jesse took care of the whole family and removed any worries or stress we were harboring. I would recommend working with Jesse for any and all of your fashion needs, she is wonderful!"
​Maria T.

​
“I can't recommend Jesse's Spirit-style consultation enough. Whether we like it or not, we all judge and are being judged based fashion choices. Feeling confident in clothes that fit and accessories that represent your intention is worth taking the effort and Jesse can help. Her approach is comfortable, confidential and congenial.”
Christine M.
