Sustainable fabrics

With small adjustments we can make big improvements for the environment

Choosing to buy brands using sustainable fabrics is one of those small adjustments.  

So what is a sustainable fabric ?

Sustainable fabrics are made from natural or recycled materials.

These fabrics aim to reduce the overall environmental impact.

A brand that is using sustainable textiles is also implying a sustainably managed production and supply chain process is behind the brand.

So what are three eco fabrics worth wearing

1.    Recycled Polyester

  •        Made from recycled plastic bottles that have been broken down and        turned into yarn.
  •        This fabric keeps plastic bottles out of landfill.
  •        It’s far less harmful than virgin polyester
  1. Recycled Cotton
  •        Is made from industry fabric scrap or recycled cotton garments.
  •        Recycled cotton helps prevent fashion waste from ending up in            landfill.
  1. Wool
  •       Wool is incredibly insulating
  •       It doesn't shed plastic microfibers.
  •       If it ends up in landfill it will naturally breakdown after around 6 months

Choose brands with a sustainable purpose.

 The ripple effect starts with you.
