“We are thrilled to be partnering with the innovative Kate McGuire to together bring her pieces of upcycled clothing to the public as there’s never been a collection sold in this way.

This debut will allow consumers to see and hear the stories behind her beautiful “converted” collection taking the shopping experience to a whole new level.”

“This collection respects and honors the planet, with a juxtaposition of modern and old – imbued with provenance. Clothes, especially refashioned clothes, tell the coolest stories, spark imagination and are an utter joy. Creating a shopping experience where I can interact with consumers, answer their questions, and regale them with the stories of how these pieces came to life, will create true ‘shoppertainment’,” said refashion designer and founder of Converted Closet, Kate McGuire. “My mission is to raise awareness, change mindsets and empower everyone to view unique converted fashion as a viable alternative to buying new.”
“We are excited to be able to partner with these great brands and see them bring this new collection of clothing to life in this new shoppable format,” said Cynthia Nelson, Chief Strategy Officer, Revo Video. “Shoppable video and live shopping is the future of retail and allows brands to educate consumers on the products they are buying in a fun and interactive way.”
