Education
the Key to Change
Textile Expert Advice
We learnt the rag trade from the ground up
At TRA our experience grounds us and keeps us humble. We are committed to supporting textile and fashion ‘professionals-to-be’, sharing our Textile Expert Advice (TEA), to promote a culture of sustainability and innovation, and where end-of-life solutions are embedded in great design. But it doesn’t stop there! TRA are passionate about engaging children in their primary years, teaching future generations the ‘why and how’ of textile waste, sustainable fashion and a circular economy. We welcome students of all ages to our offices for ‘show and tell’, where we break it down and in simple terms, teach all things recycling, reuse and upcycling to help tackle textile waste.
