The quality of your material is the difference between a trusted luxury brand and a low quality cheaper brand. However, sustainability and ethics are understandable very large current issues in the fashion industry.

By sourcing your material from high quality recycled origins, you can give life to fabric that would have otherwise ended up in landfill. Companies like Eva Re-Source supply deadstock fabric to designers who want to utilise high quality recycled material in their products.

5.      Advertise Your Brand
