Every Stitch Tells Two Stories: Hope and Sustainability at Zip With Us®

Every Stitch Tells Two Stories: Hope and Sustainability at Zip With Us®

At Zip With Us®, every garment is more than fabric and thread — it’s a story of comfort, care, and conscious creation. By upcycling brand-new onesies and T-shirts into adaptive apparel for children with medical devices, we’re reducing waste and spreading hope, one zip at a time.

At Zip With Us®, every stitch tells two stories — one of hope and one of sustainability.

Every day, thousands of new garments are discarded or left unused, contributing to massive textile waste in landfills. At the same time, families of medically complex children face daily challenges in finding clothing that allows for comfort, dignity, and access to medical devices.

We bridge those two worlds — turning excess into impact.

Upcycled With Love

Our team upcycles brand-new onesies and T-shirts into adaptive garments for babies and kids who rely on feeding tubes, ports, and other medical devices. These reimagined pieces give new life to unused textiles while providing comfort and ease to families across the U.S. 💚

Each garment is designed to reduce dressing challenges, making medical care dignified, a little easier, and a lot more comfortable. By repurposing rather than producing new materials, we’re keeping clothing out of landfills and giving it purpose through compassion.

Sustainability in Action

Our commitment to the planet extends beyond the materials we use. We proudly manufacture in partnership with Opportunity Threads, a sustainable, worker-owned cut-and-sew factory in North Carolina. Opportunity Threads shares our values of ethical production, fair wages, and environmental stewardship — ensuring that every Zip With Us® garment is made responsibly from start to finish.

Together, we are not only reducing waste but also supporting a people-first production model that uplifts workers, families, and communities.

A Mission That Grows with Every Stitch

When you support Zip With Us®, you’re helping two missions thrive:
🌱 An eco-conscious production model that minimizes waste and extends the life of textiles.
💚 A hope-filled initiative that delivers comfort, dignity, and adaptive solutions to medically complex children and their families.

Because caring for kids and caring for our planet go hand in hand.
