"Please look after me, wear me lots, don't wash me too often, and if you're bored of me, upcycling me into something else!" is what we think our clothes would say if they could speak! The importance of caring for our clothes properly is as important as making sure that the clothes you buy have been made ethically and sustainably. That's why we have partnered with OxWash to show you how you can make or buy, and wash clothes in a way that doesn't harm the planet.
Let us take you on the journey of a pillowcase that I made into a tie-back top, which was then washed by OxWash using their sustainably powered washing machines and biodegradable detergents.
First, in pillow form!
Then lots of pinning, and sewing ...
... and finally into a tie-back top!
Then, the top was sent off to OxWash's lagoons in South London where it was taken care of by their team.
