Cambodia

Upcycled rice, feed and cement sacks
Lived in
Well of course parts of me lived in Cambodia for a long time to fulfil my purpose of a rice sack but since being reused and made into a bag I lived in Bristol UK until I was bought and moved to Bakewell in the UK and now I live in Italy

Women owned businesses, circular fashion, upcycling and elephants
Dislikes
When people use materials once and then throw them away, that makes me really confused
Fun Fact
Even though in a past like I was a rice bag I still am fulfilling my purpose to be a carrier of things... but instead of rice these days its often books or clothes. But I can carry anything because I am such a strong material

Clothing Law

Statement
So, sustainable fashion means sustainable in terms of materials but also to people that are involved in the process of making them. I believe I can be the representative of the parliament because I am made out of recycled materials, an inspiration of upcycling, people who created me are safe in their workspace and get ethically paid for their job. Thank you.
