CAMPAIGNS // The Bangladesh Accord has been an important part of making garment factories in Bangladesh safer for workers.
PROJECTS // Earlier this year we started our new Social Fabric project, with the aim of bringing people together at a time when it is most needed. The project connects like-minded people via fortnightly meetups where we work together to make upcycled texile items for local charities.
WHAT'S ON // Hiiiii August! 😎🍹🏖️
WORKSHOPS // Calling sustainable fashion designers of the future!
INSPIRATION // People often ask if organic cotton is 'better' than conventionally-grown cotton. Yes, it's more expensive, but if you ask us it's worth every penny.
SHOP // UPDATE: While we will always prioritise secondhand fabrics diverted from landfill, by popular request we've added some brand new, sustainable fabrics into the mix as well.
INSPIRATION // Today is global Earth Overshoot Day.
WORKSHOPS // We're so excited for this tomorrow! Read more about the whole Department Store popup @manchesterfashionmovement have planned at @stretford_mall this week 👇
WORKSHOPS // Rag rugs, we love 'em! Join us next Tuesday & we'll show you how to turn old t-shirts into something like this!
POPUP // At last week's Donation Day we sorted and weighed in over 370kg of textile donations. Thanks so much to our lovely volunteers who helped us to classify, measure and price it all. 
POPUP // Honestly, we can't WAIT for the day that we no longer need to wear masks. But whatever Boris has to say on the matter, we don't think that day is today.
POPUP // So many wonderful humans have donated fabrics to us to keep them out of landfill - THANK YOU!
