1949 advice for when you’re sewing... Little did they know a little later Zara would open its first store (1975) and be renowned for its low priced look-a-likes of high end fashion which will lower demand for locally made clothing. We also know that Zara, Topshop and Primark were some of the first retailers offering garments with sweatshop labour. It was really in the 1990’s when Zara offered their 15 day turn around on mass amounts of garments when it started. That was about 30 years ago. Now we are in 2021, a year after the first lockdown after a worldwide pandemic, and ethically made clothing with big sustainable values (not greenwashing) is much more valued 🪡 Fast fashion is so old fashioned, when we talk about fabrics and sweatshops it’s still using the same ways as 30 years ago. Choose sustainable and ethical for the people and the planet, because in 2021 they come first 🌏✂️ ⚠️MY NEW MAILING LIST IS LIVE!

GREENWASHING🌱♻️ The fashion industry has seen a surge in demand for sustainable clothing over the last decade! Whilst this is great news, a lot of brands are only taking part because it’s the new ‘trend’, and what people want to hear. To appeal to their consumers, many fashion brands are labelling their clothes as ‘made using sustainable materials’? But how much of their clothing comprises of these materials? A quick search on Zara’s website reveals that although a dress is labelled as ‘at least 85% organic cotton’ the rest composes of? 53% polyester and 6% elastane! Zara are greenwashing their garments to appeal to a rising eco conscious audience. Question? Why would a company that is committed to use only recycled polyester by 2025 still be greenwashing their products? Answer: 💰💰💰 💌 My mailing list is live!

Morning! This is very deep for a Friday morning but here goes 👩‍💻 ... Slow Garments is literally my life and means so much to me in the most non exaggerated but meaningful way possible 😂 I wouldn’t know what I would do without it, but in the same way I wake up some days wondering what I’m going to do with it? 🤓🪡 What I’m trying to say is I am so grateful for all of your kindness and I’m really putting everything into Slow Garments so it is the best it can be! I really want everything to be at its best when I re-open ✅ Every message which asks when the shop will be re-opening makes all of this hard work worthwhile and also reassures me that you haven’t forgotten about Slow Garments 😂🥰 THANK YOU & VERY HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU!!

This is my “Pretty please would you sign up to my mailing list?” Face 🙂 I’m so excited to FINALLY have a mailing list!!! I feel like I have a more personal way of contacting you where I can share sneak peaks & important info on the shop! (Re-openings/closures, newness) Being on the mailing list is the way to stay up to date as Instagram is not so reliable! For me, I sign up to every mailing list under the sun 😂 but as a small business if I was to loose my Instagram that would mean I would loose all of you! Therefore I really need as many of you to sign up on the mailing list because the thought of that truly horrifies me 😂🥺 I really want to make it into a monthly newsletter eventually where I can include important info & some gorg pics of you babes!! But up first l will be the news on when my Depop store re-opens! Don’t miss the first email, the link is in my bio to join! 🥰💌🪡 #noplanetb #renewable #sustainable #tencel #tencellyocell #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #smallbusiness #womanownedbusiness #ukbusiness #sustainableforestry #fsc #generationrestoration #fornature #styleideas #sustainablestyle #smallbiz #ethical #ethicalbusiness #handmade #saynotoplastic #oceancleanup (at Sewing studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNaxDofnRfn/?igshid=et7gjgoqkvyh

Did you know that an estimated 12.7 million tons of litter enters our oceans each year. And from this debris, Ghost fishing nets are killing 650,000 marine animals every year as animals become trapped in the discarded nets. And that figure is just from deceased marine animals discovered!🚯 My 💦Water Collection💦 helps to fund keeping our oceans healthy! The recycled material is made from ghost nets which have been discarded or lost by fishermen. A 2018 study in Scientific Reports showed that ghost nets make up at least 46% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.The demand of my swimsuits ultimately aid in recapturing the 1MILLION tonnes of ghost nets lost at sea every year🌊 BUT, there is a light at the end of the trash tunnel! To cease the ghost nets being lost, WWF is advocating for fishing gear to be traced, so those caught dumping nets will be fined. Refundable deposits on nets also encourage returning or recycling rather than littering. WWF also assist with instruments like sonar reflectors to find these stray nets. #noplanetb #renewable #sustainable #tencel #tencellyocell #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #smallbusiness #womanownedbusiness #ukbusiness #sustainableforestry #fsc #generationrestoration #fornature #styleideas #sustainablestyle #smallbiz #ethical #ethicalbusiness #handmade #saynotoplastic #oceancleanup (at Sewing studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNZ1_bJncjT/?igshid=1n0ja4iw4vb47
