Accessories, clothes and bunting are made from unwanted textiles using vintage sewing machines in the World Heritage Site Cromford Mills.
We love recycling textiles, cutting them up and giving them a new life as something gorgeous.
We also enjoy learning from other people, so we have a weekly evening session where anyone can come with a textile based project, get on with it and learn from others. We work on community focused activities and sell items at regular local craft stalls. In the pipeline is a partnership with sewing groups in Tanzania.
That's why this isn't just shabby chic. It's part of a bigger picture, and the hope that fashion can be sustainable, fair and funky.
