I’m so excited to announce the launch of the Fibershed sponsored Toolkit for Fibersheds & Brands: Creating a Conversation for a New Era of Design!

When Sarah Kelley of Common Threads Consulting and I  first decided to write this toolkit, apparel brands’ interest in working with fibersheds was already picking up—but throw in a worldwide pandemic? The upwards spike in brand interest has been incredible. Why is that? In early 2020, as the pandemic started to take root, global textile supply chains started to break apart. Large US brands sourcing from other countries saw a major disruption in goods getting to them on time, and they saw how volatile the market was while in lockdown.

If we are now, in 2022 to create textiles within a framework of ecological balance, we will have to create from a very old place—an honest place where design for decomposition leads, and ego and profit take a back seat.

Are you ready?
