Our Commitment to Sustainability

Fighting Fashion Waste Through Clothing Alterations

In an industry where the average American discards 81 pounds of clothing annually and the typical garment is worn only 7 times before being tossed, Cimu is pioneering a refreshing approach to sustainable fashion.

Our Sustainability Mission

At Cimu, we believe the most sustainable garment is the one already in your closet—it just might need a perfect-fit adjustment to reach its full potential. The fashion industry produces 92 million tons of textile waste yearly, with fit issues being the #1 reason perfectly good clothing ends up in landfills.

Our innovative clothing alteration delivery service addresses this crisis by extending the lifecycle of your premium wardrobe in the following ways.

  • Professionally altered garments remain in active wardrobe rotation 2.5x longer than unaltered pieces. When your clothes fit perfectly, you wear them more often and keep them longer, transforming "occasional wear" items into staples.

  • Our customers report a 40% reduction in "replacement purchases" after incorporating mobile clothing alterations into their wardrobe strategy. Rather than constantly buying new pieces to replace those with minor fit issues, they're investing in perfecting what they already own.

  • Through strategic alterations, we help transform limited-use pieces into versatile staples that work across multiple contexts, creating more outfit combinations from fewer total garments.

Environmental Impact of Each Altered Garment

  • 30lbs of CO2 emissions saved

  • 700 gallons of water conserved

  • 85% reduction of chemical usage
