Hi,
I’m a man, but it can apply to anyone, but where do you purchase your clothes now?
As I see, even Banana Republic (not factory) is using a lot of polyester and I thought Uniqlo was better in using 99% cotton, but it looks like their new products have more polyester.
I’m in Canada and I have no idea where to buy clothes made of mostly natural fabrics.
Thanks
I recently picked up up-cycling as a hobby and I’m trying to experiment more with clothes , and just be more creative but sourcing materials is quite a hustle atm so I’m just here to ask if anyone would like to donate clothes they no longer use
I got gifted this lovely cashmere scarf from Muji, but after only a few months it’s developed a massive hole- about to rip in 2! The yarn itself is so thin that it can be tugged apart with barely any force. The fibres are so short, so it doesn’t have much structure. Is there anything I can do with this scarf? It’s merino and cashmere if I remember correctly, not really wearable but can it be recycled or upcycled at all?
I am trying to be more intentional about where I buy alternative clothing. I have got a shortlist of brands with some kind of sustainability focus, but they all approach it differently.
Jaded London has some strong designs and a clear visual identity though it is bigger operation and the quality reviews seem mixed. Forest Ink has been around since 2009 and doesn’t mass-produce, which appeals to me for different reasons. Disturbia has a well established alt identity and mentions ethical production, but i have not looked too deeply into the specifics.
has anyone tried these brands or found other alternatives worth checking out?
Fair Indigo has 100% cotton tops in so many beautiful colors but the reviews say that they run long-- a problem for me as a petite girl. Is there another website with similar options in petite-friendly styles or do I have to settle for 95% cotton?
I'm not patient so I feel like I will just go back to normal brands 🫤
