Sustainable Fashion News – Week 12

Coyote Fur + Natural Fibres Destroying Forests

Hello, how are you? 

I recently bought a coffee from a cafe near our house, they use reusable cups for takeaway hot drinks. Basically, the customer pays a deposit and takes the cup back next time. Obviously, it only works if you intend to return but it is such a simple and brilliant concept for cutting down on plastic waste. 

Below are your sustainable fashion news and links for the week!
