Anybody know of any postage or courier companies that use re-usable satchels instead of the plastic throw away ones? To be used to send items of clothing out. I thought I saw a company called loop or something similar but now can’t find it?

Deal btw fast fash & thrift shops?

I've been preparing a blog post that looks into exactly why you see so much NWT fast fashion (Target/Zara/Urban) at major thrift shops like Goodwill & Salvation Army.

My first thought was it is easy for Target to get rid of overproduction under the guise of donating & supporting job creation through Goodwill. They prob get an incredible tax write off, too.

But as I kept digging, I started to see over and over that, no, actually, Target SELLS its unused clothes to Goodwill. Sometimes by the truckload.

Can anyone find any legitimate source explaining the agreement between Goodwill and any of these fast fashion companies?

I AM IN PERU TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE FASHION BRAND!

Hi everyone! I am in Peru for 3 months, to create a sustainable fashion brand. This video is an introduction to my Traveling Vlog 2019. This series will be a sustainable fashion brand documentary; I want to develop an ethical fashion brand that brings cultural and environmental awareness together. My sustainable fashion brand is called "LATERAL", literally meaning "EXTENDING FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON AN EQUAL PLANE". Traveling to South America is a real adventure, in this travel vlog, we will be also visiting remote places and touristic places as well. I am eager to share my experience with all of you!

Small designers at Etsy & etc. - what is your opinion?

I have this dilemma: One of my fav places to visit is Etsy where a lot of small designers sell their clothes, and I just can't decide: is it still sustainable fashion if the designer is small and though (s)he is not using sustainable textiles, I am still supporting that someone in particular with my money, and not an anonymous sweatshop in a country with poor labour laws?

Or...is it basically the same level of bad? Is it better if it's an Etsy designer that also uses sustainable fabrics? And does their location play a role? Say, I found an amazing shop in USA that makes nice clothes from sustainable fabrics, but I am in Europe. What creates less waste - a conventional cotton dress from a European designer made in Europe sent to me within Europe, or a hemp dress made in USA, flown in to me to Europe?

What do you think?

2019 Master List for Sustainable Fashion Brands!

I came across a Top 60 list for 2019 from sustainable fashion brand Goose Studios - and it's seriously good! Great range of women's, men's and all budgets and styles - genuinely a brand for everyone, go check it out - they've even actually bothered to describe what you'll find from each brand and how they're sustainable.

https://goosestudios.co.uk/blogs/sustainable-fashion-blog/sustainable-fashion-brands

The Goose Studios stuff is pretty great too. I've just got ordered of their laid back 100% GOTS organic cotton long sleeve tee's and they're a PETA-approved Vegan brand too.

"The Hypocrisy Of HM Calling For More Sustainability"

I came across this article (https://wellmadeclothes.com/articles/HMCallsForMoreSustainability/)on H&M and their push for more sustainability in the industry. I totally agree that fast fashion cannot be sustainable until they change their integral business model and that "greenwashing" is a real issue... but I can't help but think at least they are starting somewhere and getting the conversation going. *We just need more action*

What are your thoughts?

Does 100% cotton include thread and labels?

I have always used the most powerful setting on an iron to get the creases out of t-shirts, but recently I have noticed the thread “melting” into the iron. It takes work to get it off, but the labels inside the shirt read 100% cotton.

Cotton doesn’t melt. So what gives? Are these shirts actually being made using cheaper plastic thread? What’s the reason for this, if not cost saving or manufacturing performance? How come brands can say 100% cotton when evidently that is not true?

The difference between shirts that seemingly contain plastic thread and ones that do not have the 1 dot iron symbol. The others have a 3 dot (Max) and can be ironed at the maximum setting.

Brands that I own that melt when I iron them:

Deux Ex Machina Brain Dead Sasquatchfabrix Lazy Oaf

Brands that do not melt:

Norse Projects Mollusk

I would like to learn more about this, could someone link me or enlighten me about this? Thanks
