iCONSUMER EDUCATION : CLOTHING WASTE<br />

Most women wear 20 – 30% of their wardrobes. A large portion has never been worn and may be out of fashion. According to the Daily<br />

Mail, the average woman has six pieces of never-worn clothes in her closet. Some might have less, but other women have a lot more.<br />

That is 162 million pieces of clothing in the U.S. that still have the tags on, with an estimated worth of $7.3 billion. The surveyed women<br />

also have 15 items of clothing they’ve worn once and will not wear again.<br />

TUR's goal is to decrease those numbers and believe that “less is more.” TUR offers products with longevity by targeting aspects that are<br />

adaptable for different occasions, made by eco-friendly materials. Though the line only consists of ten separate pieces, each piece is<br />

strategically designed to match one another. The possibilities of having a stylish and comfortable outfit is endless. Each product retails<br />

under $200, and is made with the highest quality textiles. By purchasing ten TUR garments, customers will actually receive twenty one<br />

different products.<br />
