Raising awareness around the environmental impact of Fashion Fashion. It seems a no brainer, right ?! the world has limited resources and we consume more than our fair share ! Simple ! Well no not really !

How do you engage with people in a meaningful way, without them feeling judged about their buying decisions ? Over the years we have mostly had fun, sewing chatting and talking about serious issues in a light and can do way   ! People do get it and can't help but become inspired when you show them the limitless potential in garments destined for the bin !
