<li>Every year 1.5 million tons of clothes and textiles go to landfill in Britain.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>This means 9500 garments are thrown into landfill every five minutes. That is the equivalent of every one in four garments sold.</li>

<li>While every other type of landfill waste is reducing, textiles has risen.</li>

<p><br/> Jackie King, executive director of the Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association says; <strong><em>“Consumers don’t realize 95 percent of all clothing and textiles is recyclable...</em></strong> As long as items are clean and dry, even those that are stained or torn, they can be processed by textile recyclers extending the end-of-life of the material."</p>

<h6 class="uiStreamMessage"><span class="messageBody"><br/> <br/> Around 30% of clothes in the household wardrobe have been unused for at least a year. This is worth over £1,000 per household or £30 billion across the UK! <br/> <br/> The average lifetime for a garment is 2.2 years. Extending the life of clothing by an extra nine months of active use would reduce carbon, waste and water footprints by around 20-30% each. It could save £5 billion a year from the costs of resources used in clothing supply, laundry and disposal. <br/> <br/> There are many ways can all change this; by wearing our clothes for longer, reworking the style and wearing them in a new way or repairing and up-cycling them.<br/> <br/> Or if you really are not going to wear it again there are even more choices; pass it on to a friend or family member, donate to charity or re–sell yourself to make some money. <br/> <br/> Clothing should NEVER be thrown in the bin! Nearly a third of waste clothing goes into landfill, if this clothing was given the chance to be reused it would generate over £140 million of additional income to charities, local authorities or other organisations for re-use and recycling. <br/> <br/> Have a think about what you could do with all those forgotten items in your wardrobe! <br/> <br/> Information from WRAP survey.</span></h6>

<div class="popular-article"><p><strong>Date:</strong> Thursday, 26 July 2012: 11am-12am<br/><strong>Venue:</strong> THECUBE, Studio 5, 155 Commercial Street, London E1 6BJ</p>

<p class="summary"><br/> The session is ideal for those who want to learn more about ethical textiles, particularly those keen to introduce them into their designs and collections.<br/><br/> With the growing demand for environmentally and socially beneficial fabrics, this unique, hour long discussion not only allows attendees the opportunity to physically feel a huge variety of ethical textiles, available to purchase at both retail and wholesale quantities, but also offers the remarkable opportunity to pick the brains of a Fashion and/or Textiles Master consultant, usually valued at hundreds of pounds.<br/><br/><span><span><img alt="Offset Warehouse Fabric Sample" src="http://www.offsetwarehouse.com/data/images/fabrics/Samples/SAMPLEBKNwsLttr.jpg" title="Offset Warehouse Fabrics Sample" align="left" height="170" width="233"/></span></span>With over ten years of fashion and textiles experience, the consultant will not only be able to offer advice on the move from “mainstream” to “ethical” fabric purchasing, but can also offer advice on the ethical fabrics suitable for fashion and interiors that match industry trends, how designers can begin to make their work more ethical and tips on sourcing from ethical textiles manufacturers.</p>
<p class="summary">Set in an intimate discussion format with a maximum of 10 people per group, attendees can talk openly with the Master consultant, whilst getting a tactile and visual understanding of ethical textiles through a plethora of fabric samples available. Over the course of the hour, you will be introduced to the terms and jargon associated with the ethical fashion and textiles industry and offered an insight into the variety of ways designers can be ethical through their fabric choices: from reclaimed, to fair trade, to organic, to recycled. Attendees will leave with a more informed sense of how design can avoid damaging the environment and harming the people involved in the manufacturing process.</p>
<p class="summary"><br/><strong>Costs:</strong><br/><br/> - £20 per person for bookings made before 14th July 2012;<br/> - £10 for Ethical Directory members. <a href="http://www.offsetwarehouse.com/pages/join-the-ethical-directory.html" target="_blank">Find out how to join the Ethical Directory</a>.<br/><br/> <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/KOJ2jP" target="_blank">Book Your Tickets Online Here</a></strong><br/><br/> If you would like any further information or to book your place, please email: info@offsetwarehouse.com</p>

<h2><span class="font-size-3">As you may know, we were thrilled to have been shortlisted for the "Unique Enterprise" prize, for the Fashioning the Future Awards 2011. Last night, we attended the ceremony at the East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf, to bask in some runner-up glory.</span></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>The third annual ceremony was inspired by the UN's International Decade on Biodiversity, and saw applications from all over the globe submit projects for sustainability in fashion, to compete for six awards, including The Body Shop One to Watch recognition award.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-2"><img class="photo_img img" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/386959_290152481007416_120101571345842_948739_1039134867_n.jpg" width="623" height="447"/><br/><em>Dark ambiance of the evening. Speaker from the UN takes the floor.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The event was set in a stunning venue, with lots of delicious canapes and champagne flowing, and boasted a really fabulous mix of social entrepreneurs and fashion designers. Most notably, we got chatting to Miranda Kaloudis, who chatted to us about her notions on sustainability.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img class="photo_img img" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/296898_290143481008316_120101571345842_948734_2022772057_n.jpg"/><em><span class="caption">©Miranda Kaloudis 2011</span></em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>But the most exciting part of the event was seeing number of Offset Warehouse customers exhibiting there! There was a fantastic array of innovative and stunning designs incorporating Offset Warehouse fabrics, which demonstrates just how far designers are pushing the boundaries with ethical fabrics, to change the common perceptions of ethical design by creating both wearable and unique, innovative clothing. They are continually proving that ethical does not have to mean unchic and untrendy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img class="photo_img img" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/392797_290146661007998_120101571345842_948738_317115795_n.jpg" width="588" height="416"/><span class="caption"><br/><em>©Ceri Jones 2011</em></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>It made us proud to know that by bringing together lots of suppliers and therefore offering a wider variety of beautiful, ethical fabrics and haberdashery, Offset Warehouse is making beautiful, ethical design, accessible and possible for young, innovative designers!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Makes it all worthwhile!</p>

<strong><span class="font-size-4">On Tuesday night, Zara, the Spanish-based, global clothing giant was implicated in a slave labour scandal, reported on Brazilian television.</span></strong><br/>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The case was made public during a show called "<strong>The League</strong>" on the Bandeirantes TV network, and claimed that the company had bought items made by <strong>Bolivian and Peruvian immigrants in illegal working conditions</strong>. The reporters, accompanied Labour Ministry personnel, to rescue 15 employees, from the company <strong>AHA</strong>, who supply to Zara, working in degrading conditions in two clandestine workshops in Sao Paulo. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img class="photo_img img" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/296319_251081401581191_120101571345842_817676_4664967_n.jpg" height="279" width="496"/><span class="caption"><br/><em>Zara in Sao Paulo</em></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Industry expert, <strong>Charlie Ross</strong>, founder and director of the ethical fashion sourcing and manufacturing agency, <strong><a href="http://www.offsetwarehouse.com" target="_blank">Offset Warehouse</a></strong>, said: "Unfortunately, this is something we're seeing time and time again; irresponsible sourcing from large companies who can't or simply don't bother to audit the factories they use, with excuses like, "We hardly had anything made there", or, "We have so many other factories, we don't have time to audit everyone". It is simply totally unacceptable".</p>
<p>The TV report also showed a similar raid conducted in May, which freed 52 workers, mostly Bolivians, in similar conditions in Sao Paulo. The Bolivians were earning around <strong>1 USD for each dress</strong> they sewed, although the <strong>retail price in Brazilian stores was approximately 70 USD for the same dress</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All the employees had been recruited in their home countries with promises of a better life in Brazil. But once in Sao Paulo, they were made to work <strong>up to 16-hour days</strong> for <strong>wages below Brazil's legal minimum</strong> (approximately $340 a month).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unbelievably, these already unlawful wages were subject to further deductions by the employers for the <strong>cost of travelling to Brazil and living costs</strong>, a clear example of what the Brazilian Labour Ministry constitutes as enslavement to pay off debt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Inditex", the Spanish group which owns Zara, <strong>denied any responsibility</strong>. Instead, they placed the blame with the supplier, AHA, claiming that it had "seriously violated" its ethical code for manufacturers by using workshops that illegally exploited workers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In responding to the claims made by the Brazillian TV programme, Inditex highlighted that while the combined total of garments made in 2010 through their 50 suppliers in Brazil reached approximately 7 million, these illegal workshops made only 0.03 per cent of that total.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Inditex have now however initiated discussions with AHA to arrange <strong>compensating</strong> the affected workers and have finally <strong>committed to using workshops that operate in accordance with the law</strong>. Ross commented, "Although I am delighted to hear that Inditex have now committed to using ethical labour, it is disappointing that it has taken a scandal of this nature to persuade them to behave responsibly". Major retailers such as Zara have to take the lead if suppliers are to be convinced that their workers have to be afforded basic human rights and decent working conditions. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="photo_right"><a target="_blank" href="https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/299221_251081354914529_120101571345842_817675_3892098_a.jpg"><img class="align-left" src="https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/299221_251081354914529_120101571345842_817675_3892098_a.jpg?width=180" width="180"/></a><span class="caption"> </span></span></p>
<p>Brazilian authorities, however, were also unconvinced by Zara's response, and reported Zara clearly marking the retailer among those responsible for the unlawful and unethical activities taking place: "The firm (AHA) works, in practice, as a logistics extension of its main client, Zara Brazil Limited".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Public prosecutor Giuliana Cassiano Orlandi stated, "(Zara) is responsible for those who work for it. These workers were making Zara clothing and followed instructions from that firm".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This has not been the only exposure of slave labour. Last August, some of the biggest names on the British high street including Marks & Spencer, Gap and Next, were also at the centre of a major sweatshop scandal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ross further stated, "This is precisely why manufacturing accreditations, like the SA8000 and Fair Trade have been developed, so that if big companies don't have the skills or time to audit, they can use a certification body. They have no excuses not to be ensuring ethical practices within their manufacturing processes."</p>

<p><span class="photo_right"><a target="_blank" href="https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/293521_251081938247804_120101571345842_817678_3769097_a.jpg"><img class="align-left" src="https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/293521_251081938247804_120101571345842_817678_3769097_a.jpg?width=180" width="180"/></a><span class="caption">Offset Warehouse homepage</span></span>Ross' company, Offset Warehouse, serves to tackle just these problems that fashion houses, both big and small, face. A social enterprise, Offset Warehouse is the first UK online retailer to bring together a wide range of ethical fabrics and resources to make ethical production in fashion and interiors easy. The online portal provides access to all the information and products needed to be ethical in fashion and design, serving both business-to-business and business-to-consumer needs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>According to Ross, however, the slave-labour crisis and blame runs deeper: "At the end of the day, the fashion houses are responding to customer demand. If customers will only pay the cheapest prices, regardless of what that means for the working conditions of those producing the goods, then the fashion houses will continue to try to meet that demand by turning a blind eye to sweat shops and slave labour. A business can't survive, if they have no customers. And what do customers want? To spend as little money as possible!" </p>
<p> </p>
<p>"In my opinion, the key lies in educating consumers. As horrifying as these examples of slave labour are, I hope that their exposure helps to open consumers' eyes: the more the everyday person understands where their clothes are coming from, the more they will start asking questions to ensure their clothing is ethically produced. Then I think they might be more willing to pay that little extra, to ensure the welfare of another human being".</p>

<div class="mbl notesBlogText clearfix"><div><p>Wool is surrounded by a lot of ethical controversy - it's a natural fibre and a by-product, but is it <em>really</em> a by-product when we're importing it in and discarding our own? Is it still environmentally friendly, even though it needs toxic chemicals to be cleaned? How can it be cruelty-free when so many farmers still practice museling?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img class="photo_img img" src="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184048_240978199258178_120101571345842_785412_8331367_n.jpg"/><span class="caption"> </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The processing of wool involves four major steps:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Shearing</p>
</li>
<li><p>Grading and sorting</p>
</li>
<li><p>Cleaning and scouring</p>
</li>
<li><p>Carding</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>1. Sheering</strong>: In most parts of the world, sheep are sheared once a year, in early spring or early summer. The best wool comes from the shoulders and sides of the sheep. The lesser quality comes from the lower legs (which would be used to make rugs etc)<strong>.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2. Grading and sorting</strong>: Workers remove any stained, damaged or inferior wool from each fleece and sort the rest of the wool according to the quality of the fibres. Wool fibres are judged not only their strength but also by their <em>fineness</em> (diameter), length, <em>crimp</em> (waviness) and colour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img class="photo_img img" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/189208_240979045924760_120101571345842_785414_2928236_n.jpg"/><span class="caption"> </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>4. Carding:</strong> After the wool dries, it is <strong><em>carded</em></strong>. The carding process involves <strong>passing the wool through rollers that have thin wire teeth</strong>. The teeth untangle the fibres and arrange them into a flat sheet called a <strong><em>web</em></strong>. The web is then formed into narrow ropes known as <strong><em>silvers</em></strong>.</p>
<p>In order to both prevent this felting and to make the wool more comfortable to wear, many producers use chlorine to “burn” off the scales. The burning doesn’t remove all the scales, but once also coated with a synthetic polymer resin, which essentially glues down the scales, the wool is then able to be machine washed without felting, gets rid of the shrinkage of the fabric associated with felting and is also much more comfortable. This is the chemistry behind <strong>Superwash</strong> wool. <strong>The tradeoff, of course, is that this chlorination process is highly toxic.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li><p>Carding length fibres are used to make <strong>woollen yarn</strong>. Woollen yarn feels soft, has a fuzzy surface and is heavier than worsted.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Combing length fibres and French combing length fibres are made into <strong>worsted yarn</strong>. Worsted wool is lighter and highly twisted, it is also smoother and not as bulky, which makes it easier to carry or transport about.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img class="photo_img img" src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284669_240979325924732_120101571345842_785417_3094968_n.jpg"/></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other Bad Bits:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>British farmers discard the wool from slaughtered sheep (because the legal licensing costs to sell it on far outweigh what they can sell it for), while Britain <strong>imports</strong> wool from Australia and New Zealand. How ridiculous!?</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mulesing: where folds of skin around the sheep’s anus are cut off with shears during the wool shearing.</li>
<li>Live export of sheep to halal butchers when their wool production becomes minimal.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Well, today we're campaigning for these sad, disguarded buttons, desperate to show off their splendour again, by creating charming, unique bracelets, perfect for fun, personalised pressies! (Also, a great rainy day project, for those bored little Offsetters!)</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>(...and if bracelets don't float your boat, check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=147683928592995">how to turn these buttons into adorable button tacks</a> !)</p>

<p> </p>
<h2>What You Need</h2>
<p>Approximately 20-25 buttons, depending on how long you'd like the bracelet (or necklace etc) to be, scissors and some stretchy 0.5mm fish wire (you can find this in craft stores) - fish wire is nicer, as elastic looks quite chunky and spoils the look!.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img class="photo_img img" src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/283219_237703556252309_120101571345842_775062_2560384_n.jpg"/></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>What To Do?</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>1 - Measure out & <strong>cut</strong> your piece of fish wire: It should be 1 – 2 cm longer than your wrist size (so there is space for you to tie the ends together).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2 - <strong>Thread</strong> the wire through the button holes or back loops until you fill up the length of the wire - overlapping is good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 – <strong>Tie</strong> the ends together (<strong>double knot</strong> is preferable, to ensure that extra security).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>et voila!</strong></p>
<p> </p>

<h1><strong>What is…</strong></h1>
<p><strong>As you've noticed, we've been adding to our range of eco fabrics suitable for digital printing. One of our more popular ranges is our "linen" range, but since their arrival, we've been hearing the same questions:</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<h1>"What is Linen" and "Why is Linen Ethical"?</h1>
<p><strong>So, being the helpful people we are, we thought we'd shed some light!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h1><strong>What is Linen?</strong></h1>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>As one of the <strong>oldest fabrics</strong> to date, linen goes back to the <strong>Ancient Egyptian</strong> period - meaning the techniques goes back thousands of years! It is a fabric that is traditionally made from flax, but is now available in cotton as well as hemp along with other non-flax fibres (referred to as "linen" due to their physical properties, rather than flax content).</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>How Is Linen Made?</strong></h2>
<strong> </strong><br />
<p> </p>
<p>To make a smooth fabric of <strong>high quality</strong>, most fabrics need long fibres (and staples). The quality of the finished linen product is also often dependent upon <strong>growing conditions and harvesting techniques</strong>. For flax, to generate the <strong>longest possible fibres</strong>, it is either hand-harvested by pulling up the entire plant, or stalks are cut very close to the root. After harvesting, the <strong>seeds are removed</strong> through a mechanized process called “rippling” or by winnowing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img class="photo_img img" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/269681_237046552984676_120101571345842_772870_4392983_n.jpg"/><span class="caption"> </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fibres must then be <strong>loosened from the stalk</strong>. This is achieved through a process called "<strong>retting</strong>", which uses <strong>bacteria</strong> to decompose the <strong>pectin</strong> that binds the fibres together. <strong>Natural ‘retting’</strong> methods take place in tanks and pools, or directly in the fields. There are also <strong>chemical retting</strong> methods; these are <strong>faster</strong>, but are typically <strong>more harmful to the environment and to the fibres</strong> themselves (which is a big no-no).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After retting, the stalks are ready for ‘<strong>scutching</strong>’, which takes place between <strong>August and December</strong>. Scutching removes the woody portion of the stalks by <strong>crushing</strong> them between two metal rollers, so that the parts of the stalk can be <strong>separated</strong>. The fibres are removed and the other parts such as <strong>linseed</strong>, <strong>shive</strong>, and <strong>tow</strong> (parts of the plant) are set aside for other uses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Next the fibres are <strong>heckled</strong>: the short fibres are separated with heckling combs by 'combing' them away, to leave behind only the long, soft flax fibres.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After the fibres have been <strong>separated</strong> and <strong>processed</strong>, they are typically <strong>spun</strong> into yarns and woven or knit into linen textiles. These textiles can then be <strong>bleached</strong>, <strong>dyed</strong>, <strong>printed</strong> on, or <strong>finished</strong> with a number of treatments or coatings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An alternate production method is known as “<strong>cottonising</strong>”, where the flax stalks are processed using traditional cotton machinery. This is <strong>quicker</strong> and requires less equipment, however, the finished fibres often lose the physical qualities of linen.</p>

<h2><strong>What Are The Advantages of Linen. What Is Linen Used For?</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>As linen contains <strong>natural antibacterial and antifungal properties</strong>, and is therefore good at keeping bacteria and illness at bay, it is used to make a variety of products, such as curtains, bed-sheets and table clothes. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It can also protect you from <strong>UV rays</strong>, so is suitable in the manufacture of clothing – giving wearers that added prevention of skin cancer. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like wool, linen contains what are known as <strong>thermal/cooling-regulating fibres</strong>, which allow skin to breathe, keeping wearers both cool in the summer and warm in the winter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It has <strong>anti-allergenic</strong> properties, so it does not aggravate any existing allergies, it’s also good for upholsteries because it <strong>does not attract or gather dust particles</strong> – so less cleaning is needed to maintain it. It's also very durable, and prevents the fibers being worn away too quickly, again, meaning less maintenance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And finally, if it is not treated with chemicals, it is a <strong>biodegradable</strong> fabric, so even if it does end up in landfill, it degrades without leaving behind toxic, nasty chemicals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>What Are The Disadvantages of Linen?</strong></h2>
<strong> </strong><strong> </strong><br />
<p> </p>
<p>It creases easily, and is not very heat resistant - therefore it is quite flammable. It also disintegrates easily with acid.</p>

<h1>There are principally two types of leather tanning: Vegetable and chrome. Chrome is known to be nasty nasty, and here’s why…</h1>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Vegetable tanning</strong> refers to the use of natural tannins to create usable leather from hides. Natural tannins are present in bark, wood, leaves and fruits of chestnut, oak and hemlock trees. This process is time intensive, as it can take up to three weeks for the tannins to fully penetrate a hide. From an ecological perspective, vegetable tanning is preferable, however the leather produced is not stable in water as it shrivels and becomes brittle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A little history: In ancient times, vegetable tanning was all that was available – hides were steeped in a bath of vegetable-based extracts like leaves, bark, nuts etc, which release tannins. </p>
<p>This process was repeated several times, which gradually increased the strength of the mixture. Each time, the tannins penetrated the fibres in the hide deeper and deeper, ultimately creating what we all know as leather.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When you see a beautifully aged, 100 year old vintage leather wallet or Gladstone bag, chances are, it was vegetable tanned – the more it’s used, the better it gets. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>So What’s So Bad About Chrome Tanned Leather?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Chrome tanned leather is made using chromium sulfate and other salts of chromium, it is more supple and pliable than vegetable-tanned leather and does not discolour or lose shape as drastically in water as vegetable-tanned leather. It is also known as wet-blue for its colour derived from the chromium.</p>

<h3>Learn the lingo:</h3>
<p> </p>
<p>- Mint – As good as new</p>
<p>- Near Mint – Slightest signs of wear</p>
<p>- Excellent – Typical signs of wear due to occasional use</p>
<p>- Very Good – Considerably wearable but has some flaws (staining, soiling, collar damage)</p>
<p>- Good – Wearable but cannot be returned to excellent condition</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>TIP 1: Always look at photos first to check if there are any damages</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>TIP 2: Make sure they offer secure paying methods such as PayPal or Visa Verified (these methods ensure your details would not be stolen)</strong></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>TIP 3: Make sure the measurements are similar to your own - clothes tends to change shape after being worn for some time (and if you’re buying from the 70s they had different sizing systems altogether!), so the size it says on the label, may not be what you expect.</strong></p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>But HOW are waterproof fabrics made?</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Waterproof fabrics are treated with special material such as, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), <em>rubber</em>, silicone elastomeric, wax or fluropolymers, which are either <strong>natural</strong> or <strong>synthetic</strong>. The chosen substance then placed on either the top layer on a piece of clothing through lamination or by coating them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some more eco-friendly alternatives include using bees wax (although the results are usually water resistant, rather than waterproof). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We get our <strong>ethical alternatives,</strong> by reclaiming end of roll waterproofs, so they don’t end up in <strong>landfill</strong>. Check these out:</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hemp</strong> is said to be the most eco-fibre of all. The <strong>cellulose fibre</strong> from hemp is used to make not just clothing products, including jeans, shirts, dresses, hats, bags, ropes and canvas, but also skin care products, building materials, paper and many food products!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/269661_230350983654233_120101571345842_751036_4121238_n.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hemp grows almost <strong>anywhere</strong>. The plant is particularly harvested all throughout Europe, Russia, China and Canada. It requires <strong>no pesticides</strong> or fertiliser <strong>a</strong>nd needs very little <strong>water</strong>. The plant is <strong>good both for the soil and the atmosphere</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/261581_230350436987621_120101571345842_751035_4789095_n.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The potential for hemp is vast - including sustainable <strong>bio-mass (power)</strong> and <strong>bio-diesel (fuel)</strong>. All the amazing things that can be made with hemp, also means that nothing is wasted in the production process: seeds are used to <em>make oil and food supplements</em>, while the stalks are used for fibre. Hemp also produces more fibre per acre than trees, and can be renewed two to three times per <strong>year</strong>! These factors make it more favourable than other fibres.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/260399_230351130320885_120101571345842_751038_5651543_n.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Up until the 1920's almost <strong>80%</strong> of clothing were made from hemp textiles. The problem we've found, is that despite all these amazing qualities, designers are trying to move away from the "bobbly-hippy-hempy" look associated with ethical fashion and interiors. In response to this, however, slowly, manufacturers are catching on, and developing <strong>smoother, more refined looking hemp fabrics</strong>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A great way this has been developed is through <strong>blends</strong>, which have become a huge benefit to hemp sales and designers - creating smoother finishes, using it's slubby quality to create a more fashionable texture (think H&M jersey tops). We're extremely pleased to provide great blends ourselves, including the ever-sought after jerseys:</p>

<h2>About Felt:</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>Felt is the oldest textile known to man. It is made without sewing or weaving and is a non-constructed fabric. The story goes:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>A man was walking across a desert in the dim and distant past and as his footwear was rubbing he grabbed a handful of wool from the flock he was walking with and placed it into his sandals for comfort. The constant friction from walking, together with the combination of the moist and warm atmosphere and his sweaty feet, slowly turned the wool into a piece of felt.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/264601_230819256940739_120101571345842_752180_2795963_a.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Felt has been used for many <strong>cultural</strong> reasons throughout the centuries and is very prevalent in <strong>Central Asia</strong>, where it used for everything from <strong>carpets</strong> to <strong>hats</strong>. It also produces items as diverse as <strong>shoes</strong>, <strong>tents</strong>, <strong>carpet</strong>, <strong>fine clothing</strong>, <strong>art objects</strong>, <strong>hats</strong> and <strong>jewellery</strong>. It is such a versatile craft that it lends itself to many different treatments and new uses for it are being discovered by a new generation of artists and craftsmen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Making felt may be an ancient craft skill, but it's incredibly easy to do at home...</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>What You Need :</strong></h2>
<ol>
<li>Wool (Include some of different colours to make patterns)</li>
<li>Bamboo Mat</li>
<li>Hot Water (in a kettly - for easy pour - but not at boiling temperature! It must be luke warm)</li>
<li>Plastic sheet/ Cling Film</li>
<li>Towel<strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p><em><strong>Where Can I Get Organic Felt?</strong></em><strong><em> </em></strong><strong> </strong></p>

<p>Offset Warehouse sell <a href="http://bit.ly/oqLafg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">naturally dyed, coloured, organic wool</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/qhhTmp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">white, organic wool</a>, that is not only great for felting, but also as material for toys, pillows or in other art and craft projects.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<strong>How To Felt Yourself:</strong><strong> </strong><ol>
<li>You will need a flat surface to work on, that you don't mind getting wet (e.g. outside, floor, counter-top or large table). Cover the flat surface with a piece of plastic - you need enough to roll the mat out flat and to be able to fold it back over the rolled bamboo mat.</li>
<li>Pull the clean wool out into short sections.</li>
<li>Place these wool pieces evenly across the plastic. Lay them all in one direction, (vertically) overlapping each piece slightly, until you have a square about 35cm long. Repeat horizontally.</li>
<li>Repeat the layers of wool again. Make sure each layer alternates in direction, vertically/horizontally.</li>
<li>The top layer can be decorative, using different coloured wools. </li>
<li>Now, carefully add hot water all over the wool layers - careful not to burn yourself.</li>
<li>Roll the matt up.</li>
<li>Fold the remaining length of plastic back over the wool roll (to stop all the water going everywhere as you roll).</li>
<li>Roll the mat back and forth, working your hands evenly across the mat. A good place to do this is in the bath tub, so you get a smooth and quick back and forth motion going.</li>
<li>Keep the mat rolling in the hot water for x-about 3 - 4 minutes. It is friction that causes the wool to felt.</li>
<li>Remove the mat from the bathtub and place it on a towel. Carefully unroll the mat, and turn the felt 90 degrees. The felt is quite fragile at this point, so be gentle.</li>
<li>If the water has cooled or almost gone, add more hot water. Re-roll the mat (and put it back into the bathtub if you like) for about 3 - 4 minutes.</li>
<li>Turn the felt another 3 times, and re-roll for about 5 minutes between each turn.</li>
<li>Test the felt by rubbing it with your finger. The fibres shouldn't move and the felt should be quite thick. If it is still soft, turn it again and keep rolling it in the hot water.</li>
<li>Remove the felt from the mat and rinse in cool water.</li>
<li>Roll the felt in a towel, place it on the floor and stomp on it, to remove the excess water. Lay flat to dry.</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>

<h2>We favour <strong>organic</strong>, <strong>sustainable</strong> and <strong>fairtrade</strong> fabrics and clothing, and of course using <strong>natural dyes. B</strong>uying these environmentally and socially beneficial clothing, however, still does not address that our <strong>over-buying is a major detriment to our environment</strong>, and also has <strong>social implications</strong> for those that manufacture them, such as garment workers forced into slave labour, in order to make unfeasible and unreasonable deadlines.</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>But let's get realistic, at the end of the day, <strong>we love to shop</strong>. It's important to stay fashionable, and buying a new outfit, makes us feel good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>So what's a solution? </strong></p>
<h2>Buying vintage!</h2>
<br />
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/270326_229812090374789_120101571345842_748606_2004205_a.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Why? </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Because it is not only the most creative and individual choice around (your unlikely to be spotted in the same outfit!), it is also an extremely effective way to <strong>reduce extreme consumption</strong>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recycling your old clothes and wearing vintage clothes and accessories is not only a <strong>fashion statement</strong>, it is an <strong>ecological</strong> statement as well. <strong>By wearing vintage you can help save the planet! </strong> (And if you needed any more persuading - you can also save a bit of money too!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/269485_229811827041482_120101571345842_748603_6721956_n.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Buying vintage is being made ever easier by <a href="http://www.offsetwarehouse.com/resources/view/168/clothes-swapping" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>"swap-shopping"</strong></a> parties, <a href="http://www.offsetwarehouse.com/resources/category/15/shopping-ethically?page=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">(check out our <strong>resources</strong> for some great links)</a>, <strong>charity shops</strong>, <strong>reselling sites</strong> like ebay and <strong>retro shops</strong> like "Beyond Retro".</p>

<h1>Last week we popped along to the RCA Show 2011 exhibition to see the newest, emerging designers. Here are three of our favourites - watch out for them in the future (because they will be big!)</h1>
<p> </p>
<p>We thought we'd done well with our sustainable, bamboo sunglasses, but we discovered the ‘Hair Glasses’, created by Alexander Groves in collaboration with Studio Swine. Together they've created glasses that are totally <strong>biodegradable</strong> using natural resin and human hair. As the UK’s beauty industry imports human hair to the tune of <strong>£15mil annually</strong>, and with millions increasing in our global population, the idea is simply fantastic - <strong>reducing the use of plastic with a sustainable, renewable source - human hair!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/267726_229320970423901_120101571345842_745853_522818_n.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Secondly, Pia Wüstenberg made a <strong>table </strong>completely out of<strong> ‘Processed Paper’.</strong> By layering sheets of glued paper on top of each other, she managed to create a sturdy structure, strong enough to hold up plates and glasses. What a fabulous way to recycle paper!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/269631_229321193757212_120101571345842_745855_6090617_n.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p>And our third favourite and simply amazing - <strong>organ replacements</strong> made from the <strong>natural fibre,</strong> <strong>silk. </strong>The designer had jaw-droppingly managed to recreate a heart using silk from a silk worm, that was <strong>genetically modified</strong> to scaffold for a donor heart instead of using a machine. This incredible design was created by Veronica Ranner, who wants the world to be more involved with the ‘inanimate’ world around us.</p>

<h1>As I'm sure you've gathered, we're all about promoting ethical materials, but do you really know what is going on even before the yarns are spun into thread?</h1>
<p> </p>
<p>Cotton is one of the most commonly used <strong>natural</strong> fibres in clothes; primarily because it is lightweight, soft and absorbent.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But, did you know it uses <strong>25% of the worlds supply of pesticides</strong>, but only accounts for a mere <strong>2%</strong> of crops grown world wide? The nature of cotton being <strong>eaten</strong> by insects means farmers need to use extra pesticides to prevent this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/267276_228001080555890_120101571345842_740951_694466_n.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok, so those of us who are a little more "in the know" about eco materials, probably know these facts already; but do you know what happens in the <em>countries</em> that mass produce cotton? Take the example, Uzbekistan, a small country situated near Afghanistan and Iran. With the GDP$3100 per capita, run by a group of dictating elites, the <strong>poor stay poor and the rich get richer.</strong> It was around 2007, when their unethical and unsustainable production was exposed<strong>:</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Uzbekistan's main exports include <strong>cotton</strong>, <strong>gold</strong>, <strong>uranium</strong> and <strong>natural gas</strong>; and cotton takes up <strong>1.3 million hectares</strong> of their land producing <strong>1 million tonnes</strong> to be sent to manufacturers overseas, who make the clothes for our high street brands. During harvest time, students are <strong>forced to stop studies</strong> to help harvest the crops as farmers, and the government refuse to invest in machinery to harvest them. The environmental damages, lead to morbid social consequences: The <strong>Aral sea</strong> has been all but eradicated due to the water needed to sustain cotton production and the remaining land is contaminated with salt and pesticide residues. The diseases caused by the pesticide contaminated dust, include tuberculosis and cancer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="img" src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/269421_228001350555863_120101571345842_740952_3200571_n.jpg"/></p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the full story and video, check out this resource, that explains more in depth, just how the Uzbekistan citizens are suffering from this business:</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>PLEASE</strong> support organic cotton, and prevent the continuation of this kind of behaviour in countries similar to Uzbekistan.</p>
