[9/12]Community Loops: A New Circular Fashion Project by Circular Yokohama

On 2025/8/26

Circular Yokohama is operating the ministry of the environment subsidized project “Community Loops” together with CYKLUS, a company engaged in circular economy businesses focused on clothing repair, remake, and fashion. The initiative aims to achieve resource circulation within the community and create new community value through used clothing up-cycling and recycling.

To commemorate the launch, we will host the event “Let Go, Swap, and Be Reborn: A Night of Clothes and Stories in the Community Closet” on September 12.

The event will take place at the community space “benten103” in Kannai/Bashamichi. CYKLUS repair specialists will be on site, allowing not only clothing exchange but also simple repair services.

Let Go, Swap, and Be Reborn: A Night of Clothes and Stories in the Community Closet

The clothes you bring from your closet may become someone else’s “new favorite” in a treasure hunt-like night. The memories attached to what you let go. The future brought by what you newly encounter. This is more than a clothing exchange. It is a special one-night experience where clothes, people, and stories circulate. Will you become one of the first to join this new cycle?
