Recyling our textile waste through After
At Yours Truly, sustainability isn't just about giving wedding gowns a second life, it's also about being mindful of what happens behind the scenes.
Throughout our alterations and design process, we generate fabric offcuts and textile scraps that would traditionally end up in landfill. In 2025, we knew there had to be a better solution. That's when we discovered After, a New Zealand textile waste collector dedicated to giving unwanted textiles a second life. After collects unwearable clothing and fabric offcuts, which are then processed into recycled yarn and transformed into new products such as rugs, carpets, and home furnishings, helping to keep valuable textiles out of landfill.
Today, we recycle up to 10kg of textile waste every month through After.
We are exciting that as of the 1st of June 2026 we have saved 130kgs from landfill.

We were so honoured when Yesha, the founder of After, reached out to feature Yours Truly in their news story. It was such a special opportunity to share our experience and highlight the importance of textile recycling within the bridal industry.
Mariska, our Yours Truly Manager, shared our journey with After and how much we value the work they do. Being part of this story was a wonderful experience, and we're grateful to help spread awareness around creating a more sustainable future for textiles.
