Today’s theme for #fallforcostume is #recycled so I want to feature one of my absolute favorite places to source fabric: @fabmoinc !! . . Fabmo sells exclusively recycled sewing supplies (and other crafting goods), largely donated by California designers who discontinue certain designs or have overstock of some fabrics. Normally this would end up in landfills, but Fabmo sells them at prices that make luxury fabrics more accessible (without the unethical labor practices that otherwise bring down prices on luxury items)!! . . Swipe to see some of my favorite Fabmo finds, a green silk taffeta that you may recognize from my in progress robe à l’anglaise, pink cotton sateen and a matching jacquard, a floral tapestry, a herringbone wool, and so many more!! . . I love buying from Fabmo because I can find fabulous textiles without creating more demand for newly made textiles. The fashion industry is one of the most polluting in the world, and it’s our responsibility to show the industry that we aren’t interested in fast fashion, pollutants, and industry waste. The industry will only change when it becomes more profitable to use sustainable methods, and Fabmo is a great step in that direction. . . #fallforcostume2020 #recycledfashion #fabric #sewing #cosplay #cosplayer #costume #costumer #sustainablefashion https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5frrrDPud/?igshid=181krwtc7jojs
