Problems we need to fix

The current system doesn’t work well for makers, conscious consumers or the environment.

  • Fast fashion companies make too many clothes that end up as waste in landfills.
  • Big companies keep most of the money while makers earn very little.
  • Artists and makers struggle to earn enough money to live on.
  • Many people don’t know how their shopping affects others.

What we will do

We will develop new ways for people to work together and share money fairly.

  • We will run workshops where makers learn to turn waste fabric into new products.
  • We will teach makers how to run a business and manage their money.
  • We will set up markets and shops to sell the products.
  • We will document everything we do and share the stories.

What we will create

  • We will produce unique clothing and accessories made from waste materials.
  • We will have a group of makers who know how to price their work and run their business.
  • We will have places where makers can sell their work directly to buyers.
  • We will create photos, videos and stories that show how the project works.
  • We will create a blueprint that shows how to share money and resources fairly.

What will change

  • Less fashion waste will go to landfill sites.
  • Makers will earn regular money from their work.
  • Money will be shared more fairly between everyone involved.
  • More people will think carefully about what they buy.
  • People will see that there are different ways to do business.

    Creative professionals will be able to support themselves through their work.
  • We will show that there are better ways to do business that are fair to everyone.
  • More people will choose to buy things that are good for the environment and support local makers.
