Hi Sophie, I see we are interested in the same area of sustainable fashion, I was wondering if you had any ideas on where to source eco-friendly manufacturers, suppliers and factories in China? We are working on trying to promote  more socially responsible strategies when producing in China. Our aim is to provide tailored  packages to brands covering alternative methods to their development process. Any feedback or information on this subject is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and kind regards,
Farah

Hi Sophie, Im based in Scotland but deal with over 40 countries. We design outfits and accessories using our own specially-designed fabrics. We believe 'ethical' is more than just reducing the worst excesses of sweatshop labour but involves producing 'meaningful' designs which create awareness and sharing profits. This approach allows us to introduce 'ethical fashion' as part of a global education programme in schools.
