Just thought I would give you a quick run down on my week so far wearing only Vintage and Fair Trade clothing…nearly half way through the fortnight now and I’ve been joined by some extremely stylish people, and even Laura Bailey.
- Friday
“Totally Fair Trade!
Everyone loves check – I like this red and navy blue check in hand woven silk. I’m wearing it with an organic cotton T-shirt – both from People Tree.
This leather satchel is vintage and Fair Trade made by Afghan refugees about 10 years ago from People Tree Japan.”
Thursday
“Vintage or Fair Trade?
I designed this from a prom dress out of a hand woven Fair Trade black sari inspired by vintage. So, I guess it’s both. Worn with united nude shoes, kind of 40’s. I love it!”
Wednesday
“This is a scarf! I put a slit in the middle and stiched under the arm to make a tunic out of a batik, handpainted, Fair Trade scarf – its a bit hippy, but I love wearing it with my charity shop jeans.”
Tuesday
“I’m wearing an organic cotton Fair Trade dress made by our lovely producer group Assisi Garments. It’s a sample for future collections so let us know if you like it!
The necklace and boots were from my local charity shop £3 for the necklaces and £25 for the boots.”
Monday
“1980s second hand tea dress in rayon. I bought it at Vintage at Goodwood yesterday worn with my recycled sari Terra Plana shoes.”
