We recently had the opportunity to transform hundreds of surplus race shirts into new products for Krispy Kreme Challenge. Races run into this problem every year because they preorder race day shirts a few months before the race. Whatever is not picked up or sold becomes surplus outdated shirts. This year, for its fifteenth year, […]
NC State Licensing We started with a simple vision in mind: give consumers an upcycling option for their sentimental clothing. Soon after, we discovered that the university system creates an enormous amount of surplus branded apparel each year. In the spring of 2018, departments at NC State reached out to Reborn to take boxes of […]
To our loyal supporters, followers, and clients, Thank you for supporting Reborn Clothing Co. over the past year. Without you, we would not be here today. One year ago, Reborn officially launched for the Raleigh community with a kick-off party at Liquid State! I started this company with a simple mission in mind: to give […]

A startup is not easy, by any means. It is not a 9 to 5, it is not 40 hours a week, and it is definitely not something you can “leave at work.” Just ask our founder and CEO, Emily. A startup will keep you up late at night and have you up early in […]
We’re a little over half way through July and product development is in full swing in the thick of this North Carolina heat. Product dev is a process, one that we’ve poured so much energy into, and are proud of how much has been accomplished in less than 3 weeks. We have spent the past month developing […]

Purchasing Made in USA has wonderful benefits to consumers, to the economy, and to the nation. After the Revolutionary War in the 1770s, Americans began to […]
