Wearing Organic Cruelty-Free Silk
“I had happily discovered ethically sourced silk recently and was able to create a look that doesn’t take too much space in the luggage and is p.e.r.f.e.c.t for hot weather.”

#HappyBirthdayYourMajesty
Who Made My Clothes
Fashion Revolution is a week to commemorate the Bangladeshi Rana Plaza factory disaster 24th April 2013, where over 1000 workers lost their lives making garments for some of the biggest names on our high streets. Every year since, fashionrevolution.org hosts a series of events around the world, from lectures and workshops to fashion shows and pop up events to bring to our attention the effects of fast fashion supply chains on people and the planet. #whomadeyourclothes.
This year, however, fast fashion retailer H&M launches World Recycling Week during the same week. Nothing wrong with that you might ask…..

How many silk worms does it take?
We partnered up with a US content creation firm, to bring you the latest story behind our ethical fashion.
It’s all about the silk worm.
Did you know between 40-50,000 silk worms are boiled alive to make just one silk blouse on the high street?
Not many people do…. The larvae needs two weeks in their cocoon feeding off the silk inside leaving only half as much silk by the time they are ready to break free and fly off as moths. It is before this process begins that fast fashion and mainstream silk producers choose to by pass ethics and kill the silkworms instead, keeping their cocoons intact. It also means that it takes longer to weave the broken silk fibres and is thus a more expensive process, but it is more respectful to nature.
