Re:wear is a smart scent-monitoring hook designed to help users manage semi-worn clothing. By analysing odour changes over time, the system offers intuitive feedback on whether garments are still suitable to wear or need washing. Re:wear addresses common anxiety around clothing hygiene, particularly for items worn briefly or only once. It empowers users to reduce unnecessary laundry, save water and energy, and embrace a more sustainable wardrobe routine. With its minimal design and passive sensing function, Re:wear fits seamlessly into everyday home environments, making invisible freshness more visible.
