My name is Tiffany or you can call me Tiff! 💚 I moved to Surrey nearly 6 months ago - can you believe that?! From living in the gorgeous Eastbourne 🌊 I love shopping second hand, and ditched fast fashion over a year ago now - I have a serious problem with male billionaires exploiting women in sweatshops 😣 When I was growing up, I loved fast fashion, every month when my wages would go in my bank I would most likely already have clothes in my ASOS basket ready to checkout, but in January 2020 my hobby of sewing become a clothing brand with some serious sustainable and ethical values that switched that up 💌 During 2019 I said farewell to ASOS checkouts and I was researching in depth on what impact the fashion industry had on the people & the planet. I had given up fast fashion for good and I become vegetarian 🌱 There is a part in this process of lifestyle changes you start to feel like Greta Thunberg (Gotta love her) 🌍 Then Slow Garments was born January 2020 ✂️ I started in my spare room in Eastbourne with my 2 sewing machines and since moving to Surrey I have an even larger sewing space so I can have a bigger cutting table & have my much loved bigger baby! My big sewing machine lol🪡 Slow Garments has been built on the foundations of having a clear understanding what garment worker exploitation is, as well as addressing, educating and making my voice heard for the silenced voices in sweatshops, whether it be women, men or children. The sustainable impact of Slow Garments has taken me down many roads of exploring fabrics, threads and more haberdashery needed to make a garment last a long time with as little impact on the planet as possible. Slow Garments values start with the people & the planet 🌍 What’s better than knowing when someone has the same Slow Garments Bikini or Top as you, they have those same values too 💚 Tiff ✂️🪡 #SlowGarments (at Surrey, UK) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmYJUMjbXV/?utm_medium=tumblr
