7Weaves’ model could map the future for sustainable, ethical textiles.
Many indigenous communities around the world need income that protects and utilizes traditional land rather than destroying it. These same communities still maintain traditional knowledge regarding weaving with natural fibres and dyeing with natural materials. They understand how to live and work in balance with the natural world.
Through creating beautiful fabrics to meet the needs of the global market, empowerment can create economic freedom while preserving biodiversity. We are working with communities to ensure future generations continue to protect their land, their people and their traditions.
