The company, which was launched by the Ted Noffs foundation, offers a great way for local aspiring designers to showcase their work, while providing one-of-a kind revamped designs. One Noffs participants are given a bag of used clothing with which to new garments, which are then sold in [used clothing stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primark-swap-shop). Money from the sales of the new-old clothes go towards programs for [underprivileged youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-of-lifewear). Each designer's biography is sewn into the tag, so their work is acknowledged.
