The Sustainable Fashion Collective

Textile Manufacturing

Overview

The ethical fashion industry is complex to navigate. It's clear that the most effective way we can incite change is by working together. As part of, "The Sustainable Fashion Collective", we stand together as a united community of designers and entrepreneurs dedicated to ethical and responsible practices. In line with our vision of building the largest community of sustainable fashion designers and change-makers in the industry, all members of the industry and sewing community can join the collective for free. "Free" members have access to News Articles and Live Events. We also offer a Professional Membership for creatives looking for guidance and expert advice on building an ethical design business. Each month we release a Masterclass on a different topic directly related to growing a sustainable business. For each masterclass, we've enlisted the help of one or more experts to record webinars that take you through all of the crucial information you need to know on that topic. We also include useful external links and downloadable resources, saving you hours of time trawling through the internet to find answers to your questions. We also provide Technical Tutorials to arm our members with the skills required to create ethical, sustainable products. We believe that consistent learning is key to growing successful businesses - and one of the best ways is to learn from people who have been successful in this industry. If you can learn from their mistakes - even better! We've interviewed some truly inspirational brands and have got down to the nitty-gritty - from how to launch a successful crowdfunding campaign, to setting up a pop-up shop, to getting featured in Vogue, to Waitrose becoming a first stockist... the experience of the brands we've interviewed is incredible... all invaluable information! The Sustainable Fashion Collective is the sister site to ethical fabric shop Offset Warehouse. We host regular events and are open for anyone to join.
