Bespoke Echoic Jacket 2015

THANK YOU  for this Amazing ongoing Collaboration started in 2013: 

SUEME Sustainable Sportswear

Little Hearts are cut out of Factory Off-cuts from Polartec Recycled post consumer plastic fleece: 

THEY ARE VERY USEFUL NATURAL ESSENCE DIFFUSERs to protect woolens against moths with a few drops of Lavender.. which also relaxes and soothes the mind after a long day at work...

QUESTION TO OUTDOOR CLOTHING MANUFACTURING COMPANIES:

:: how many factory off-cuts were saved from landfill over the course of recycling

1 Billion bottles since 2003,

 and for textile processes lovers, this is how it is done: Process Pop Couture 

Ikat, Silk and cotton...

A little pack of remnants was given to me on Sunday by a friend and here is work in progress...

Not so far gems

To Consider... a visit to Braintree Essex,

To discover archives of Royal 2 layer silk velvet machinery and looms 

and even closer in Walthamstow, the most amazing Arts and Craft Champion William Morris, who inspired by nature' beautiful willows and Arabic tiles, inspired a whole movement of artisans to create and work in the days of the industrial development, replacing the metallic screws by wooden screws in all furniture elegantly covered with willow patterns printed in his studios...

Finally if you wish to enjoy your week-end in London, walk to the Tate Modern

to discover an amazing textile artist
