LMB In East London
Professional Texile Recyclers
Lawrence M. Barry is a large textile resale, reuse and upcycling plant.
With over 400 textile and clothing donation banks around London, LMB are a great source for Upcycling designers.
The majority of the clothing donated is sold to African second hand clothing merchants who sell on the clothing or 'mitumba' in markets.
The clothing unsuitable for resale or reuse is sold to textile downcycling and flocking companies who break down the fibres to create fabrics of lower quality.
As well as sourcing unwanted clothing, LMB also work with companies to take the old uniforms and promotional clothing that is no longer required.
The company is involved with education and design collaborations, providing source material for Upcycling designers and design students at various Universities including University of the Arts London.
A new initiative with students from the Univeristy of East London and Dr.Noki to open an Upcycling shop on Bethnal Green Road!!! AMAZING!!!
I collaborated with Zoe Fletcher who is also on my MA course to create a short film about the amazing work LMB do! Click here to be taken to You Tube
