Anyone else following the "I'm growing a dress!" lady on Instagram? She's growing and process flax to make into a linen dress.

Pretty neat to see the whole process. She's funny, too!

Curious how it makes other people think about how industrialization has changed fashion and behavior. After diving deep into sustainable fashion and textile circularity professionally, I have gotten so much more careful when I eat, not wanting to permanently stain my clothes so I can hold on to them longer. Makes sense that table manners were so much stricter/serious in the "old days"!

Work clothes

Where do you guys buy cute work clothes? I used to buy pants from Everlane but now I cannot because of the whole SHEIN thing. I have recently bought some pants from toad and co but the dye washes out really quickly. I try to thrift my blouses but pants are much trickier for me as I am 5’3 and squat. I would love recommendations for places with blouses and pants. Also nothing crazy expensive 🙏

Sustainable plus size clothing?

Hello! I’m 21F and on the path to making some changes to be more sustainable with diet, consumption of goods, switching to better materials etc. I think I’ve made some good strides so far but I really struggle to find anywhere that suitable that has plus size clothing in the UK. Any suggestions would be great, and I don’t mind spending more for quality at all. (Also shoe brands for smaller feet would be great! Size 4)

Our bags are fully biodegradable but we've realized we have no idea what customers actually do with them when they're done. This bothers us.

We make bags from banana fiber. They're fully biodegradable return them to soil and they break down naturally. Here's what we realized recently: we have no idea what actually happens to our bags at end of life.

We tell customers the bags biodegrade. But:

Do customers know how to compost a bag?

Do they put it in landfill anyway because that's the default?

Do they keep using it long past when it should be retired?

Do they pass it on to someone else? We've never systematically asked. We sent a survey to 200 long term customers last month. 47 responded (23% response rate lower than we hoped).

Results:

61% said they're still using the bag (good durability working)

22% said they passed it on to a family member or friend

11% said they put it in regular waste when done

4% said they composted it

2% said they cut it up and used pieces for other things

The 11% in regular waste bothers us. Even biodegradable materials don't biodegrade well in sealed landfills.

We're thinking about a take back program send us your old Maleema bag, we compost it properly and give you a discount on a new one.
