Donate Your Jeans
Jeans are made to last. Wear them as long as possible. When they break, repair them.
If they’re still in good condition but they don’t fit any more, give them to friends or donate them to charity. You can also keep them and repurpose them as scraps for repairing other jeans.
Don't Throw Your Jeans Away! Donate Them!
Your last resort is to give the jeans eternal life in The Jeans Museum – especially if you have a vintage, or a really heavily broken-in pair of jeans or denim jacket, no matter how trashed or filthy.
By showing people the power of the natural evolution of raw denim, the aim of the Museum is to convince everyone to create their own personal fades with a long-lasting dark blue raw denim instead of buying cheap fast fashion, which will be thrown away after only a few wears.
Donations can be hand-delivered at the Museum or shipped in. However, we are not able to accept shipments to the address of the Museum. Instead, please send your jeans donations to:
Ruedi Karrer
Jeansmuseum
Wibichstrasse 94
8037 Zuerich
Switzerland
Please reach out to Ruedi through the contact form before you send your donation to ensure proper processing and that your donation arrives.
