The NBA trades a player and then Looptworks steps in to give old jerseys a new life

A former retail executive has found success with taking excess fabric and upcycling it into new products.

Hamlin eventually worked his way up to run the company's business in Brazil. His retail career continued at Jockey and the outdoor and travel apparel company Royal Robbins. All along the way,During that time, awareness about sustainability and the damage we were causing our environment was rising. Looptworks' clients include Fortune 500 companies from nearly every industry but the business expanded into the National Basketball Association in 2016. Hamlin was approached by the Portland Trailblazers with jerseys that had been created but were now deemed waste.

"When fans realized they were made from jerseys and are one of a kind, they sold out of all their units overnight," Hamlin said.That following season, the NBA caught wind of Looptworks and came to Hamlin with an even bigger order.
