Loved Clothes Last : How the Joy of Rewearing and Repairing Your Clothes Can Be a Revolutionary Act

Orsola de Castro's "Loved Clothes Last" is a must-read for anyone passionate about fashion and committed to creating a healthier planet. As Arizona Muse aptly puts it, "It's crucial that everyone with an interest in fashion reads this book so we can live on a more sustainable Earth." India Knight echoes this sentiment, calling it "The most timely book you'll read this year."

Are you constantly running out of space for your ever-growing wardrobe? Curious about how you can contribute to tackling the environmental challenges facing our planet? Join Orsola's care revolution and learn how to make the clothes you cherish last longer. This book equips you with a myriad of ways to mend, rewear, and breathe new life into your wardrobe, enabling you to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. By teaching you to scrutinise your shopping habits and make sustainable purchases, she will inspire you to buy better, care more, and reduce your carbon footprint simply by making your beloved clothes endure.

Following Orsola's practical tips to lavish care and attention on the clothes you already own will not only have a positive environmental impact but will be personally rewarding too. Hand wash, steam, and spot clean your garments, air dry instead of tumble drying, or revive your clothes by sewing or crocheting. Fast fashion leaves behind a trail of human and environmental exploitation. Our wardrobes don't have to be the finish line; they can be a starting point. We can all care, repair, and rewear. Do you accept the challenge?

As Kenya Hunt aptly states, this is "An incredibly thoughtful, must-read guide," and Aja Barber affirms it as "A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the fashion industry as an outsider and wants direction as to where we go next."
