Weaving the Fabrics We Wear

In September, Botanica Tinctoria took part in the Sustainable Angle's Future Fabrics Expo in London.  Below is an excerpt from "Weaving the Fabrics We Wear", from the Sustainable Fashion Blog. Check out the beautiful fabrics from the London Cloth Company and Avani Kumaon! 

"The fibres we choose to weave or knit fabrics with can be accountable for a great deal of their negative or positive environmental impact. The beauty of textiles weaving in particular is that a myriad of raw materials can be used to create the most intricate, textured, unique and sustainable materials. Some of the best sustainable fibre examples include naturally dyed organic cotton from Botanica Tinctoria, hand spun wools sourced from British conservation flocks used by the London Cloth Company, and low-impact locally cultivated Indian silk from Avani Kumaon. These are among dozens of mills and designers around the world which are working to reduce their environmental impact, many of which are being showcased by The Sustainable Angle at the Future Fabrics Expo."
