Did you know that the fashion industry emits about the same quantity of greenhouse gases PER YEAR as the entire economies of France, Germany, and the UK COMBINED?! We can replace our culture of disposable clothes with a culture of keeping, swapping, repairing and sharing, and when we do buy, making sure our clothes are ethically-sourced and made.

All week, we’re diving into #whomademyclothes and #whatsinmyclothes for #fashionrevolution. First up, a closer look at our beautiful dresses from @passionlilie in #India. We caught up with their Chief Creative Officer Katie: AT: Katie, what are your products made out of? Katie: Cotton fabrics, mostly GOTS certified organic cotton. This season we have one top made out of GOTS certified organic cotton modal and we plan to have more products in the future made out of modal. Modal is a sustainable fabric made from beech tree pulp. AT: Tell us about your production process. How do you use environmentally-friendly practices? Katie: Recognizing the negative impact of pesticides on biodiversity and the health of farming communities, we use durable natural fibers, organic cotton, and nontoxic dyes. We recognize the importance of keeping emission from gasses contributing to global warming (CO2) as low as possible, which is why we have created a supply chain built on sourcing from areas local to where we produce. AT: Why should our customers feel good in your clothes? Katie: Number one our products are comfortable and easy to wear, but also they help provide a sustainable living for artisans, support artisanal techniques like block printing and ikat weaving and our products are made in a sustainable manner in order to not harm the people or the planet.

You might be asking why we need a #fashionrevolution and where the movement came from: On 24 April 2013, the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh collapsed (pictured). More than 1,100 people died and another 2,500 were injured, making it the fourth largest industrial disaster in history. That’s when Fashion Revolution was born. Rana Plaza was a factory complex in Savar, Bangladesh, making clothes for some of the biggest global fashion brands. Most of the 5,000 workers inside were young women. This tragedy was preventable. In the aftermath, survivors told stories of how they knew the building was hazardous and showing cracks in the days leading up to the collapse. Multiple workers told their supervisors that they were afraid to enter the building and continue working. The retails shops and banks on the ground floor shut down their operations, but the demand of global brands and an insatiable fashion industry called garment workers back inside. The factories remained open and these workers made our clothes in fear for their lives. In the days and weeks before the tragedy, many of these clothes were packed in boxes and shipped to brands and retailers around the world. The truth is that we bought and wore these garments stitched together in tragedy. And the culpable brands weren’t limited to ‘fast-fashion’, but included mid-price retailers. Their unifying attribute wasn’t low price, but lack of transparency. We believe that no one should die for fashion and since the Rana Plaza disaster we’ve campaigned with citizens, brands and policymakers to demand a fair and safe fashion industry.

Today's #womenwednesday feature is all about the 🌎 Earth Day is about a week away and we have put together our picks in a special collection (link in bio) including notebooks from our partner Mr. Ellie Pooh. Mr. Ellie Pooh is a fair trade certified cooperative in Sri Lanka that creates handmade journals from elephant dung 🐘 and recycled paper. No trees or toxic chemicals are used in the paper making process and all of their papers are handmade, acid-free, and as organic as it gets! Mr. Ellie Pooh provides sustainable papermaking and artisan jobs in the Kegalle district of Sri Lanka. These jobs help build support of the local communities and are essential to the success of their conservation efforts. They train villagers to make their paper and hire artisans to create our products all while educating them to live among (and respect) the elephant in an area where humans and elephants often conflict.
