@PursuingProxemicExactitude - I saw it. Interesting that Gabriela Hearst thinks that the circulation of materials is going to become the norm and virgin materials will become much rarer. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes from this new approach. I wonder if clothes will become like wooden furniture, something that is repaired, remade, restyled, repurposed - and that signs of wear eventually become valued as patina? On a slight tangent, as raw materials become more valuable, so do the off cuts: I remember reading that Hermes uses all discarded materials to make objects for its Petit H line. Some of the stuff is fantastic, like terrazzo using old Hermes buttons and buckles. Really creative (even if completely beyond my means!)

I own a lot of Seasalt, Lucy & Yak, Run & Fly (obsessed with their pinafore dresses), People Tree (cotton jersey mostly as find their other clothes don't suit my shape), Scandi brands like Papu, Gudrun Sjöden and Aarrelabel, and small UK indie brand Aesthetic Laundry.

I've also found M&S surprisingly good quality and more ethical than most on the high street.

Years ago I tried making my own clothes but made such a mess of them I wasted money big time! Ended up buying materials, throwing away the things I made and buying ready made replacements.
And Marks and Spencer's has lost this customer. Their Tee shirts are terrible quality and I have thrown them out after couple of washes. Their jeans look baggy at the knees in no time. Kettlewell clothes in basic styles stay looking good, wash well and come in great colours. (And no. I'm not employed by them!)
