Description of SE/Org: We work to inspire action on sustainable fashion.
Our name refers to the way we feel the fashion industry affects its workers, its shoppers and the planet. Stitched Up.
Fast fashion compels us to buy more and more clothes, which engulf our wardrobes and stifle opportunities for creative expression. Meanwhile many workers in the global fashion industry are trapped in low-wage jobs, prevented from joining trade unions to demand better working conditions.
We want to build an alternative fashion industry with your help.
By keeping clothes in use for longer, by swapping, upcycling and repairing them, you can make big reductions in GHG emissions. By developing the skills to craft your own wardrobe, you’ll find new routes for creative self-expression. And benefit your mental health and wellbeing – making things soothes the soul.
We’re here to help you reduce your reliance on the fast fashion industry and reclaim ownership of your personal style.
