@hypebae THE BEST PLACES TO VINTAGE SHOP. Leading #vintage retailer @beyondretro has a number of locations dotted all around London, with Kings Cross’ @coaldropsyard being its newest spot. Offering a much more accessible price point, the stores feature countless rails of vintage garms from shell jackets and sports gear to suede skirts and silk shirts. As a result of its cheaper price point, the majority of #BeyondRetro items are unbranded, however, every now and then there are a couple of pieces that may surprise you. #prelovedbranded #prelovedtextiles #bestbikerjackets #prelovedfashion

@sepjordan #newcampaign @fuuuckingyoung SEP Jordan was founded in 2013 with a positive social impact objective. It was the first Jordanian private company to set up in the Jerash ‘Gaza’ Camp in Jordan. Their core business is hand-embroidery, employing over 500 refugees in the camp. The camp is found in the North of Jordan and opened in 1968, hosting four generations of refugees. Although the authorities stopped counting years ago, there would be around 50,000 residents living there, in which more than half are under the age of eighteen and most live under the poverty line.

@hypebae BEYOND REMADE takes recycled materials such as denim, duck canvas or suede and upcycles them into brand new pieces inspired by vintage classics. These recycled fabrics are remade and reimaged as timeless designs such as dungarees, aprons, and jackets – all with a vintage style. Each piece is completely unique and made from 100% preloved textiles. Many brands try and copy the vintage aesthetic but Beyond Remade intrinsically understands the relationship between iconic vintage garments and the worlds love affair with them. Beyond Remade is scaling up cycling and ensuring minimal waste. Sustainable is more than just a buzzword for them, it's their foundation. #remake #recycle #prelovedtextiles #patchworklovers

@fuuuckingyoung features @saywood.studio FW22: Reconnecting the People and Processes behind what we wear. The sustainable brand was created in 2020 by Harriet Saywood-Bellisario, who graduated from the London College of Fashion before working at Paul Smith, Richard Nicoll and Label/Mix. The starting points each season are classics contemporized with unexpected details. In each collection, the brand delivers beautiful edits of wardrobe essentials: for their first capsule they’ve focused on shirting. Both modern and timeless, each piece is made to be worn and re-worn. At the heart of the brand’s story is a desire to reconnect with the people and processes behind what we wear, and in doing so, press pause on throwaway fashion. The collections are small and built on quality pieces with longevity in mind. They take a responsible approach working with sustainable fabrics when possible, and local makers where possible. The upshot? Uniquely designed, thoughtfully made pieces you’ll want in your life, always. #saywoodstudio #deadstock #deadstockfabric #japanesedenim #upcycled #recycled #consciousfashion

@wwd on how the new @positiveluxury Connected Butterfly Mark launched this week, is helping luxury organisations increase transparency and better educate their customers on sustainability. Writer Rhonda Richford spoke to Positive Luxury co-CEO’s Diana Verde Nieto and Amy Nelson-Bennett and covers why verifiable, up to date information on sustainability practices is increasingly critical to brands - not least because more than 70% of consumers now say their perception of a brand is impacted by sustainability credentials.  #connectedbutterflymark #sustainability #ESG #innovation #luxury #certification

SEP Unveil New Campaign: Linens and Keffiyeh Scarves Hand Embroidered by Refugee Artists. @sepjordan @fuuuckingyoung @sepjordan was founded in 2013 with a positive social impact objective. It was the first Jordanian private company to set up in the Jerash ‘Gaza’ Camp in Jordan. Their core business is hand-embroidery, employing over 500 refugees in the camp. The camp is found in the North of Jordan and opened in 1968, hosting four generations of refugees. Although the authorities stopped counting years ago, there would be around 50,000 residents living there, in which more than half are under the age of eighteen and most live under the poverty line. Employing the refugees, rather than supplying them with constant aid, helps them to grow as people and collecting a continuous stream of income for themselves and their family. @refugees @unhcrjordan @angelinajolie

@fuuuckingyoung @sheepinc drops a new capsule this July consisting of 4 pieces: a hoodie, a crewneck, shorts and a t-shirt. The Magenta collection is made from 100% merino wool sourced from ZQ-certified sheep stations using regenerative farming methods. The yarn is spun at a mill using renewable energy and knitted at a factory in Portugal with 3D zero waste machines whilst running on solar power. Magenta does not exist as a color because it has no wavelength; there’s no place for it on the spectrum. Rather, it’s something our brain creates to fill an empty space. Magenta is not a real color, but a figment of our imagination. Figments of Imagination! This collection carries the same sentiment. Transporting us in a visual dream-like scenario. #magenta #carbonnegative #merinowool #sheepinc #newcollection #colourpop #sustainablefashion #buynowloveforever

@fuuuckingyoung @sheepinc joins forces with @theknitedit to support #trans, #nonbinary & #genderdiverse people. Sheep inc. joins forces with the knit edit to support trans, non-binary and gender diverse people by donating 100% of profits from their new collaboration to @mermaidsgender , one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ charities. The limited-edition, 4-piece collection features 2 body styles coming in 2 new color ways. Made from 100% merino wool sourced from ZQ certified sheep stations using regenerative farming methods. The Sheep Inc. X the knit edit collection merges Charlie Millar’s iconic balloon sleeve knit jumper and Sheep Inc.’s premium New Zealand Merino wool. The result is a colorful summer knit inspired by the joy and excitement of the 80’s club and art scene, while also taking a moment to remember the social justice legacy these artists left behind. They spearheaded issues such as gender, race, and sexuality so that today the conversation can be continued. It’s the artists, the marginalized, the rule-breakers, the outcasts, and the weirdos, who spark change. Such change is needed now more than ever. #pride #genderdiversity #change #pridemonth
