Yearly tons of usable counterfeit designer clothes get shredded, burned and disposed of in debatable manners. This contributes greatly to the fashion industry being one of the most polluting industries. The fashion industry alone contributes to 10% of global carbon emissions. With the fashion industry setting goals to reduce carbon emissions, counterfeit clothing will play an important part.

The core of oreare lies within its name. ore means hours in Italian, the second part of our name stands for the English verb are. Combined oreare means hours are which correlates to the ticking clock and our commitment towards change and impact. To achieve our commitment, we have integrated the Sustainable Development Goals 12 and 13 within our business-as-usual.

Through partnerships with brands and the authorities, oreare stops the unnecessary destruction and disposal of usable clothing. We gather confiscated counterfeit designer clothing and repurpose them into high quality usable clothing. A percentage of our profits is shared with non-profit organizations that are fighting for fair working conditions and opportunities in developing countries.
