Stella McCartney, Furless Chanel And A Less Is More Christmas 
Hello readers!
I love all the festive cheer at this time of year. My dogs have been wearing their Santa suits although I’m guessing they only enjoy it because it feels cosy. They reuse them every year, however, Watson’s one is getting a little tight! Another thing I like to reuse every year is Christmas gift bags. I have fabric ones that I store with the Christmas decorations. I came across Christmas fabric wrap this year, pictured above. While definitely pricey, it would last for years without the waste. Anyone else have Christmas memories of their dad out with the black bin bags after opening Christmas gifts?!
Here are the sustainable fashion links for this week. I really enjoyed the Stella McCartney interview, which is the first link. She has always advocated vegan fashion but I was surprised by how much she has done for sustainability too.
