Hi Sass! Hope you are well. I'm a London based Jewelry designer, my jewelleries are ethical as I use recycled metals and items to create my contemporary items. I hand cut and handcraft my one of a kind Jewelries. Please take a look at my work www.YogyKreations.etsy.com
Warmly,

Hi Sass,

Hi Sass,
Thank you for the comments. I will look for your book at the UAL library, I'm sure its an interesting read. Loving my current job profile at CFE. If you know any multinational/retailer trying to enter the eco/ethical market and is interested in sponsorships, do let me know. We have some lovely eco-fashion designers who are worth being associated with.
Are you based in London?
Hi Sass,
Talking about an image button/badge that I could put on my website which would click through to your site. Let me know!
Hope you're having a good week.

add your own reviews...how better than hearing from the author.....little biased but hey it will give a personal impression to the groupies in the club :)
thanks for your comment .... the link actually did work 1/2 hour larter...maybe my computer had an issue....modern technology :)
i am really looking forward to your book - looks like it will be a great read...love the report with Peter at Noir....I am hoping to get in touch with him in regards to Bo Weevil and the Africa connection as part of my final studies. I am also doing my Masters in Ethical Fashion.
please do link to my site from your website.
Please note though - it's been running only for a few weeks truly productively, much time spent before on the technical stuff :/.
In addition of what is already available, I've got already a range of new articles/post ready to go online, of which all will be either thoroughly researched like the ones already up, or then - with LFW and Paris Ethical Fashion Show coming up - reports from what I see/hear/encounter on site.
Overall, the goal is to provide high quality content around ethical fashion and associated topics, chiefly from a (social) business / market research perspective.
For more on my background, please also have a look at my LinkedIn page: http://uk.linkedin.com/in/pamelaravasio
On a different account. I've seen that you are based in Florence.
It happens that I very likely will be in Florence to meet a friend of mine from, probably, October 23 to 25. Any chance you might be in town, and have time for a cup of coffee?
Warm regards,
Pamela
thanks
