The UK-based company is making waves in the children's fashion world by creating their unique clothing from a farm that is based in the rural area of Herefordshire. The handmade garments are sewed to customer specifications and can incorporate customer-supplied fabric as well original customer designs. They've also [partnered with EnviroAbility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supply-chain) -- a company who helps the clothing business by finding, washing and sorting the old clothes for them. Sales of Re-Jiggered children's clothes have other positive social benefits as well -- a portion of each sale is donated to charity or education.
