Re-Kissed Denim Initiative

Kissed by BO — Sustainability

Give Your Denim a Second Kiss ♻

Every Re-Kissed piece begins as someone else’s forgotten denim.

Your old denim still has a story to tell. Through the Kissed by BO Re-Kissed Denim Initiative, you can submit unwanted denim — from any brand — and receive store credit based on its quality, condition, and usability.

Submitted denim may be transformed into wearable art, patchwork garments, accessories, or design details for future Kissed by BO collections. Denim that can’t be reused is responsibly donated or recycled — nothing goes to waste.

How It Works

1. Complete the Denim Trade-In Form

Share your contact information, the number of pieces you’re submitting, and a few basic details about the denim. No photos or preapproval required.

2. Ship or Drop Off the Denim

Choose whichever is easiest for you:

Local Drop-Off

Joyful Interactions
1686 W. Market St.
Akron, OH 44313

Ship To — Akron Studio

Akron Studio -address will be sent

You’re responsible for shipping costs. Please include your full name and email address with the denim so it can be matched to your submitted form.

3. Denim Inspection

Once received, we inspect each piece for condition, fabric quality, stretch, color, and the amount of usable material.

4. Receive Store Credit

Qualifying denim may earn $15–$25 in Kissed by BO store credit per piece, with the final amount determined after inspection.

Credit is sent by email and can be applied toward any eligible Kissed by BO product — not only pieces from the Re-Kissed collection.

How Store Credit Is Determined

  • Overall condition and cleanliness
  • Denim weight and quality
  • Amount of usable material
  • Fabric composition and stretch
  • Color or wash
  • Stains, holes, tears, thinning, odors, or other damage

Before Submitting Denim

  • Denim from any brand is welcome
  • All denim must be clean and dry
  • Completing the form does not guarantee store credit
  • Credit is issued only after the denim is received and inspected
  • Submitted denim will not be returned
  • Store credit has no cash value and cannot be exchanged for a refund
  • Denim that does not qualify for credit may be donated or responsibly recycled

What We’ll Ask For

The Denim Trade-In Form takes just a few minutes and covers:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Number of denim pieces
  • Type of denim
  • Brand and size, if known
  • Denim color or wash
  • Stretch level
  • Overall condition
  • Description of stains, holes, tears, or wear
  • Shipping or local drop-off selection
  • Additional information

By submitting the form, you acknowledge that completing it and sending in your denim does not guarantee store credit. The final credit amount is determined after Kissed by BO receives and inspects each piece. Submitted denim will not be returned. Store credit has no cash value and cannot be exchanged for a refund.
