Upcycled rice, feed and cement sacks
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
When people use materials once and then throw them away, that makes me really confused
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
Reuse every material!! Get creative!
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.
