Msg me if interested in any of these! I'd be thrilled to find some homes for them. Next person who orders one of these gets a FREE quilted tote bag right here, check it out, look how lovely and cool it is. A thank you gift for ordering that will be included! 💜 💚 🤍 ---

Fast fashion items overwhelm Sweden's recycling centres.

Sweden's recycling centres are overflowing with clothes after an EU-wide ban this year on throwing away textiles, leaving overwhelmed municipalities eager to have fast fashion giants take responsibility.

Swedes throw away 90000 tonnes of textiles per year, or 10kg per person. The EU average is 19kg, according to 2022 statistics, up from 17 in 2019.

The #GatherFiberSymposium got noticed by the local media! We were psyched that they invited our lace group in to their month of fiber art celebrations. There are a ton of great events going on.

More details from The Boston Globe (or search archive.youknow for an unpaywalled version).

"[Mae] Colburn’s mother is a clothing historian and her dad is a photographer so the project spoke to their collective skills. Together the family has catalogued and photographed 632 vintage wool skirts. The physical archive is in Colburn’s Brooklyn studio—which is occasionally open to the public for viewing—and the digital archive is online."

www.bard.eduTextile Artist Mae Colburn ’10 Talks with Vogue About Archiving her Grandmother's Vintage Skirt CollectionWhen her grandmother died at the age of 99, artist Mae Colburn ’10 and her parents were left with the question of what to do with the matriarch’s massive collection of vintage wool skirts. Sorting through the collection—spanning decades and ranging in colors, plaids, and styles—they were inspired to archive it. “Because I studied art history,” says Colburn, who majored in art history and visual culture at Bard, “research, writing, and archiving [have] always been a really big part of what I do, with a focus on textiles in both art and fashion.”
