Slow Fashion- Do It for the Planet
Today we have a special guest, Nerida Hansen of Nerida Hansen Design Studio & Pattern Agency sharing her experience and outlook on slow fashion. Make sure you stay until the end, where we are giving away a Nerida Hansen fabric bundle and a copy of A Stylish Guide to Classic Sewing!
We are in full support of the slow fashion movement. We are conscious of reducing our waste, which is why we have introduced a made-to-order stream to the business.
Our customers are able to purchase fabric of their choice, select a pattern, and have their garment or garments sewn for them. There is nothing like this in the market place!
More and more designers and brands are moving away from mass-produced, disposable wear and embracing a sustainable, long-lasting approach to fashion. Consumers are driving this move because of their desire to reduce landfill, buy better quality clothing, as well as being more curious about where their clothes were made and under what conditions.
We operate in a way in which everything is as lean as possible, and we and do it for the planet. Having as little waste as possible is so important to us.
Some of the characteristics of slow fashion are already in place at Nerida Hansen Fabrics such as high-end materials, locally sourced designers, organic fabrics and ethically printed. Slow fashion encourages a slower pace with the production process as well as fair wages, ideally zero waste, reduced carbon footprint, and a cleaner environment.
We love that our customers can enjoy fashion on demand as it is the way forward and a clear way to reduce excess!
ABOUT:
Nerida Hansen Fabrics is no ordinary business. It is one stream that runs under the Nerida Hansen Print & Textiles umbrella and pulsates unique designs that are bursting with quirky prints, vibrant colours and subtle pastels. These designs come from a range of up and coming or established artists who Nerida nurtures and supports. Their work is printed onto quality fabric and sold online, in store or available wholesale.
This is one of the first companies of its kind in Australia and it is expanding at a rapid pace. One little taste of Nerida Hansen Fabrics leaves you wanting more!
