If you define the word sustainability as "making the most of the resources you have" it brings a new light to the way you approach it. Across all industries.

[Fashion Revolution @Fash_Rev]

"Until the sustainable fashion movement really proves itself to be a better and more inclusive space than what we're used to from fashion, then no one can expect the plus size community to move to sustainable fashion at lightning speed!" @AjaSaysHello

the sustainable fashion industry caters to thin, able-bodied, middle class-to-wealthy white women and fails to be size inclusive and have representation in their campaigns yet expects everyone to "buy sustainable".....don't you see a problem there honey ?

#Throwback to when our founder highlighted some amazing #woc leading the way in slow fashion on @galdemzine - back in oct 2019!

Just a reminder skin complextion is not a trend. Another reminder being #sustainable isn't a trend either.

Love the way we connect with strangers when we do craft together. One of the highlights of lockdown has been the fact that people have been able to stay connected through crafts, hobbies and sewing... soon we will see eachother in real life again

Cute personal message we came across whilst sorting through handmade bags @scrubsfor #EastLondon. #Newham #NHS

[Fabric Swatch @fabric_swatch]

Picked up a drawstring bag while sorting scrubs into sizes with @scrubsfor and this floral bag looked way too familiar. There were about 20 pink floral bags in a bag.

@LSx_News Perfect for summer 2019

[Fabric Swatch @fabric_swatch]

@MayorofLondon It was nice to see friendly officers walking around Hackney. It reminded me of the 90's, looking out of my window and seeing officers having genuine conversations with local people.
