[Reusing] a garment for about two years cuts its combined carbon, waste, and water footprint by 82% - Patagonia

Children are often disappointed when receiving hand-me-down clothing, as it tends to lose the novelty of receiving a new garment. When a child cares more about the clothing they own, the garment gains emotional durability and is then valued by that child or family more. 

Bundle aims to create a generational garment that allows ownership over the jacket. The child can customize it in many different ways: custom zipper pulls, velcro areas for patches, and clear pockets to display drawings, toys, or snacks.
