Bring your stained clothing to our monthly dye batch!

On the last week of the month, we are excited to be hosting our monthly community dye batch to rescue and revive your stained or faded favorites.

Color of the month :Chocolate Brown (February)

Every month the color combination will change and it will be annouced two weeks before, so check out our instagram for photo examples (@sandboxvermont)

Recommended fabric content varies by batch. Best results are always with natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk. Some nylon and cotton/poly blends will take some dyes, depending on the percentage. Synthetic fabrics such as 100% polyester will not usually take most dye and are not recommended, unless we do a specific batch for synthetics only.

Please no bedsheets, heavy knits or oversized items.

DROP OFF : Before 2/27
PICK UP : Week of 3/3

Cancellations: Any cancellation must be made at least 48 hours in advance for a refund of 50% off the total cost . If special projects are requested and materials purchased prior to cancellation, the deposit will be utilized for covering the extra material cost.

Hi Neighbors!

Manager of Sandbox here, and we just wanted to take a second to thank this community for all the kind words and recommendations recently. It really helps our little business get some lift, and as we come up on our second year (!!!!) here on Pine Street, we are just so grateful for the local support. Keep bringing us your zippers, ripped jeans and anything else in your closet that needs some attention. We have a talented team of women here ready to take it on!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Sandbox & Apparel Impact: Partnership Announcement!

We are thrilled to announce our most recent partnership with another New England company that shares our commitment to keeping clothing in the hands of those in need and out of landfills: Apparel Impact and together, we are committed to making a positive impact in our community.

This initiative is dedicated to providing garments to those in need while ensuring that a small percentage of unwanted items will be recycled into insulation and industrial carpets.

At Sandbox we understand that the statistics surrounding global clothing waste can be overwhelming, and there is no perfect solution to address the magnitude of this issue. However, we are dedicated to actively seeking out solutions and reducing our impact in meaningful ways.

Community Outreach : Items in good condition are donated to underserved communities and veterans in need through a number of community outreach events throughout New England.

Upcycling : Items that may not be suitable for donations due to their damaged or too worn condition can be upcycled into new products like bags, dog bags or even garments , ask Coach Jo at Sandbox!

Reusing : Impact Apparel colaborates with clothing graders, non-profit thrift stores, consignment shops and vintage clothing stores, this way they ensure that items in good condition can be worn again. This accounts for almost 80% of all clothing diverted from landfills.

Downcycling : These items make up approximately 5% collected, and is downcycled into industrial wiping rags, insulation, emergency blankets, carpet, and pet bed stuffing.

Thank you for joining us on this journey!

You can find the AI bin outside of our studio at (688 Pine Street, Suite C) which is freely accessible to our local community.

Items accepted: clothing, shoes, accessories, and bedding

We also encourage you to consider donating special items directly to our studio for upcycling and to support our mission!
