Hello there Jessica,
I have been working with natural fibres in Nepal for a long time now and can supply you with fibre, yarns, textiles, as well as finished goods. Please have a look at www.heavenhemp.co.uk and www.wildweaves.co.uk to get an idea of what we do. I work with hemp, nettle, cactus, banana, bamboo . Hope to hear from you and would like to be your friend. Take care,
Udaya
Hi Jessica, when I said collection I really only meant 'more than one'. Ive just finished a joint project with a fashion school in which 20+ students designed one or two outfits in one of my four Japanese tartans. We will be taking the outfits to a fashion show in Nagasaki. Anything is possible. I can send you San Francisco 49ers tartan tomorrow.
Hi Jessica, I can help you make a difference. I can produce a tartan cloth in wool in the colours of the Cincinatti Bengals. You can use it to design a small collection of fashionwear. These can be made in Africa along with a pret-a-porter range and accessories for sale in Ohio. Ethical, sustainable and eco-friendly and making a real difference where it is needed.
Look at the pics on my profile and you'll see African tartans on the catwalk from our November show. And try www.tartansforafrica.com
