Threads of Change: Virtual Event on Instagram Live

In January 2024, we were excited to roll out our inaugural virtual event Threads of Change - a monthly Instagram live event with Jackalo founder Marianna Sachse. Find the next one on our Instagram page @hellojackalo (you’ll have to use the Instagram app to participate!).

January’s Threads of Change session featured Marianna and Jackalo CMO Sarah to discuss de-cluttering, mending, and how to handle the load of kids’ clothing management.

How to Declutter Clothes

Break it down to bite-sized tasks:

do things in parts, doing one section at a time (e.g. socks drawer, pajamas)
do a quarterly refresh on socks and underwear
now is your chance to get ahead of the season

Have your kids do the work of decluttering, planning, and budgeting for their clothing
We accept all Jackalo clothes back, and will clean and repair items for resale or recycling

Tips to Reuse and Recycle Clothes

Those big donation boxes? The clothes often end up in other countries’ landfills.
Organize your own clothing swap within your school or community: even kids in the same grade can be very different sizes
Build a system of donation for clothes beyond repair:

A clothing recycling bag/box on each floor to collect items beyond repair (and don’t keep circulating in your drawers)
Trashie.io takes clothes for recycling that gives you credit for what you send
