We watched a short movie about "uncycling." There is a consignment shop called "Pass the Baton" in Omotesando, Tokyo. What makes this shop unique is that people bring upcycling items to the store.
Before giving it to the store, they put a tag with their name, comment and history/story (of the item) to their items. Examples of products are shoes, clothes and cups.
The owner, Masamichi Toyama decided to open up the shop because he thinks it is important to cherish old things. The concept of the shop is to present the old items in a better way.
It was interesting idea. I think it is important to cherish the old items and not to waste things.
