Recently our Good Wool Collective brought together brands and farmers to uncover what genuine regenerative practices look like in action. Our speakers—Philippe Birker, co-founder of Climate Farmers, and Dr. Charles Massy, regenerative farmer, scientist, and author—shared their personal journeys, invaluable insights, and aspirations for building a more harmonious relationship with the land. If you’re interested in watching the full session, or signing your brand up to Good Wool Collective, reach out to our community manager, Rebecca Fairbeard.

Excited that our efforts to move the fashion towards a more sustainable future have been nominated for the Encouragement for Action prize sponsored by Stockholm Fashion District. It’s an honour to share the stage with organisations whose initiatives we admire — Icebug AB, REMAKE STHLM and Bencha. Just by being nominated alongside them we feel like we’ve already won! We look forward to meeting and discussing how we can move the industry even further at the event on November 8th.

We explore this topic in more detail in our latest newsletter.
