So EXCITING to see that Textile Upcycling has moved beyond trend into a growing environmentally focused creative movement.
Just in case you haven’t noticed, there is this magical movement gaining momentum, it is all about conscious textile consumption and YOU are a part of it.
Fashion designers are re-styling, upcycling, recycling, and using non-traditional ‘waste’ materials to create high quality garments for self expression, durability and function. There is a growing awareness of, and demand for, ethical production practices, supporting the planet and people employed in the textile industry..
Whoop! WHOOP!
Shoppers are opting for resale, thrift, handmade, recycled, upcycled, small batch, one of one, and bespoke wares nodding to individuality, durability and function.
Can I get an AMEN???
