WHO ARE WE?
Magpies & Peacocks is a Houston based non-profit design house (501c3) dedicated to the
collection and sustainable reuse of fashion, textiles and accessories, to disrupt the cycle of waste
in the garment industry.
Working with a network of designers, makers and artists, we create
unique up-cycled small batch ‘remanufactured’ collections from waste materials, provide a
resource library of post consumer textiles for the creative community, offer sustainability
education and skill building opportunities.
“
Our mission is to create an environment for positive change by nurturing arts education, keeping
fashion out of landfill, and giving back to the community. Our model rests on four pillars:
Collaborate, Create, Educate and Invest. We build creative connections between local leaders,
businesses, donors, artists, designers, educators and other nonprofits.
