Get on up that soapbox and let us have it. Be civil and mind the rules.
A recurring thread for talking about things related to sustainable fashion. Be nice.
I want to get into knitting/sewing. Is buying yarn/fabric from somewhere like FABSCRAP enough? If not, what else should I be doing?
Edit: I don't want to buy standard (new?) stuff. I want to buy recycled or biodegradable materials, with emphasis on the former. That's my gut instinct, at least.
Personally, I’d rather spend more on a few well-made pieces than keep replacing cheaper clothes every year.
If a jacket, trousers or even a good shirt could genuinely hold its shape, colour and quality for 5–10 years, I think paying a premium makes sense.
The difficult part is knowing which brands are actually selling better quality and which are simply charging more for the label.
Would you pay ₹15k–₹20k for one piece that lasts years, or buy several cheaper alternatives instead?
Because the most sustainable clothing is what already exists, show off your thrifted pieces here!
