Look at this!! This is amazing…this little girl, from somewhere in London, is wearing a skirt made if the same fabric of which we have the printing proofs (feeder cloth). This is so rare, to be able to follow the story of clothing through its waste. So we know that, at some point in its chronology, the cotton that was eventually made into the little girl’s skirt was printed in one of Sri Lanka’s largest textile mills, and the skirt was made in one if the local factories, we assume. One day, transparency in the industry will allow us to know also who farmed the cotton and who stitched the skirt. But for now, we like he fact that we know who printed it and who bought it.
