Zero Waste

‘Zero Waste’ and ‘Less Waste’ are extremely important concepts in a time of enviromental crises. As it turns out, many years ago, societies already largely functioned in a sustainable way without generating huge amounts of waste, and instead of producing new items, they repaired, mended and patched up old items, minimising the need to produce new ones. Textile waste is a huge problem for our planet. The number of garments produced that will never be worn is enormous. It is sometimes worth looking back in time and being inspired by how individual products were once valued, cared for and reused.
