We want to change how fashion is created with a new regenerative textile economy supported by bast plant fibres.
This textile economy is based on seeds planted in healthy soil or bio textiles from bast fibre bi-products. Bast fibres are processed and dyed naturally. Fashion products are created from these plant textiles using compatible components like nuts and seeds for trims like buttons.
Bast fibres are traceable from seed to compost and are good for our planet. You could already be eating these seeds and plants, hemp, flax seeds in your smoothie or nettles in your tea. As a textile, they are designed to be worn, repaired and kept in circulation until they have reached the end of their life cycle and will be composted back into the earth within 12 weeks.
Imagine living where the only legal way to produce fashion is from regenerative, readily biodegradable textiles.
Something is refreshing about being amongst plants and in nature. Their botanical presence is perhaps underestimated today. The term “linens” has been used for centuries for products created to wear and as homeware from natural plant fibres that last lifetimes passed through generations. Perhaps we lost the connection to our natural surroundings for inspiration and seeking out what naturally surrounds us for our clothing. Through the evolution of fashion to fast fashion, we became disconnected from the origins of our clothing, and our emotional connection to fast fashion replaced our deep-rooted relationship with the value of what we wear today.
Join us in creating an ecosystem of growers, brands and seed funders to support this new textile economy.
