Hello. Yes I have designed and made a few things mostly as part of my studies for my A levels in Textiles and Art.

The work you do looks like a really unique and interesting way of promoting ethical textiles. Good luck with everything!

Hi David. There is a great deal of info here: www.SEEWhatYouAreBuyingInto.com

We are still making changes to the website and a few other aspects of the scheme but it will (finally) be launch-ready in a few weeks from now. We are looking to launch at the end of October. We think we can get as many as 100 companies SEE listed by then.

We have a few EFF members signed up already and would like to encourage others. If you think this might be something for www.tartansforafrica.com, let me know and I will give you a call to tell you more.

Best, Michael

Hi David,
Nice to meet you! Would love to know your thoughts about how to help put a show together...I really am serious about this and have alot of experience putting shows together and have relations with many other artists as well. I would love to take time to put together a really quality show that could travel to many cities. Would love your thoughts as this of course would be a collaborative effort among many people passionate about the same cause. Best wishes, Sarah

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm especially pleased to hear of your work in Tanzania - I lived there for a while a few years back and fell in love with the place!

Hmmm... I'm puzzled by your comment. My site www.getsust.com has a section called "about us" which talks about our ethos, where we source our fabric, where we manufacture, etc.

I'd be interested to hear more.

Hi David,

We'd certainly be interested in following up to see if Tanzanian manufacturers can supply your tartans. Initial reaction from my colleagues in Tz is that the apparel firms here in TZ are unlikely to be able to weave wools and mohair; however, they could do some of the cottons and cotton blends – the traditional tartan-style cloth that the Masai wear. And we would be excited to see whether some people there could do hand loom, bespoke designs work. A key question would obviously be what volumes are involved (units in a typical order)?

Do you have an email address I can follow up on? Drop me a line at ian.anderson@sfct.org.uk. Thanks!

Hi David,
Re; small quantities- that's great! What are your minimums and what kind of things do you specialise in manufacturing in? Also, where are you based?

thanks david your word sounds really cool...as of right now I'm not looking to start a collection but I am looking for co-op opportunities while im still in school. I want to base my co-ops around ethically friendly jobs, do you have any suggestions?

Hi David. There are quite a huge base of manufacturers in Cape Town that I could link you up with, but this depends on the style of garments to be manufactured.

Hi David. Texas is the leading US wool producing region. This give me the chance to look at consumer interest in purchasing products made from ethically produced local wool.
At 18:51 on August 17, 2009, Lindsey Cole said…
YES David, I would definitely consider that. I would like to learn more.
