Hi,
I just started a sustainble recycled streetwear brand called Worn Future. Let me know what you guys think! We use 100% recycled cotton and a circular textile system. Would love some advice and some support
IG = wornfutureclothing
I had a assignment where I need to make and do research on polymers for shoe sole material. So I have an idea to make semi composite material for sole by using vegan leather kombucha (scooby) So is it possible to make new material with scooby and any material. Second idea - can make it new material with marble dust with any polymer. Please help me which one I make
Hi guys! First time posting here. I wanted to share my free newsletter The Good Wardrobe with this community, a place devoted to natural-fibre clothing. I hunt through the tags so you don't have to! Each week, you receive a roundup of 100% natural (or nearly 100% natural) clothing finds straight to your inbox. Here's the latest post.
And no, they aren't frumpy clothes! I mostly source from some of my favourite mid-range brands such as COS, Sezane and Nobody's Child.
I started this newsletter because I was looking for something like this personally, and couldn't really find anything. I'm tired of seeing clothes I love at first glance, only to realise it's polyester. My recommendations are natural-fibre or nearly 100%. I usually don't go over 5% synthetic, although I mostly just stick to 100% natural.
If you're wondering what my background is, I'm a copywriter based in the UK who studied Textiles, Design, Art & Fashion at university. I’ve woven on a loom, knitted on a knitting machine, screen-printed on t-shirts and embroidered by hand. These days I’m at my laptop delving into brand stories, trends and the current fashion landscape. If you'd like to know a little more, I explain a bit more in the welcome email!
Just wanted to share and thank you so much to anyone who supports.
I’ve been avoiding fast fashion for about a year now, but in all honestly I still feel the itch to online window shop when I’m tired and just want to scroll. (This stems from my issues with consumerism. I’ve gotten a lot better and resist the urge, I just hate that I even have the urge despite how much I’ve learned about the consequences on people and the planet)
I love free people/Anthropologie type styles but really try not to shop from them unless it’s bought 2nd hand like Depop. But it’s pretty obvious they’ve flooded Depop and are selling to wholesale vendors who will list so much of their product brand new with tags on 3rd party websites. It feels like even on Depop with certain sellers I’m still fueling these brands.
I like the concept of Nuuly but I’d like to know if people think it’s even worse greenwashing than Depop or eBay?
