Hemp still best choice and it grows fast and has rapid rate of photosynthesis, also stronger
Flax is easier to process (therefore less energy/resources). There’s definitely a place for both.
Linen jeans! She grew and spun her own flax!
Those pants look awesome
Thank you! My project was all about letting the plants and their processes dictate the aesthetic. The fact I got a pair of jeans that look very like the original jeans was a bonus!
Stop using dye and stick to natural colors then you won’t need all that water. Simple. Not to mention stop using synthetic material which is fine plastic strands and you eliminate fast fashion all together.
Easy to say. When my documentary comes out you might see how difficult it is to actually do, especially at scale. This is why the international Fibershed org exists, to remind people that clothing should be a product of farming not mining and to reconnect farms to fashion. Sound like you’re onboard! Thanks!
Easy enough to say, but in the end, it all comes down to price and cost. Synthetic products are cheap to use, thus a lower price final product. There is also the issue of land for the growth and production of the products at a scale that is economically viable. Buying 100% organic, fair labor, plant based dye, wool or hemp products is magnitudes more expensive. Thus textiles would become the domain of the wealthy yet again.
Phenomenal
Wow, what you’re doing is admirable! ❤ I love what you stand for!
Thank you!
So glad to see this!
I’d buy these in a heartbeat!
I’ve used bacteria to turn camphor into indigo in the laboratory, but how and where was the indigo grown for this project? It’s not very water soluble, so maybe we need to gravitate away from blue jeans?
I grew it at my allotment and am now growing commercially with an organic farm that produces energy for the National Grid from its waste. Fibershed verified, Climate BeneficialTM Organic British Infigo launching later this year!
Man, I didn’t realise so much water is used to make denim.
While I appreciate the effort and hard work...
The irony is unmissable...
"Homegrown linen" coming from Britain...
The British colonised India, Forced farmers to grow cotton and indigo instead of food crops leading to major famines killing thousands of people...exported the cotton, built industries in UK to produce cloth which they sold back to the colonies from which they had sourced the raw material...
How the world has changed, now UK wants to grow and promote homegrown fabric...
which is very good for the environment as opposed to fast fashion that is destroying the planet..
Its a start.
❤so cool
Three years. So relatable.
❤
Muito bom
They don't look too good, sorry 😔
They look great and safe for the environment!
Maybe they’re just not your style, which is perfectly okay. I for one would wear them in a heartbeat.
