Material Girl - Why I Choose Organic | Kate Arnell
( I’ve designed some organic cotton and closed loop t-shirts: )
Hey guys!
The Soil Association asked if I’d be up for sharing why I’m a big fan of choosing organic textiles, from fashion to bedding and homewares.
As many of you know, I’m big into choosing organic food, organic beauty and organic fashion. I wanted to delve a little more into why choosing organic materials matters, and got the chance to interview some amazing people who have seen the benefits of choosing organic cottoned first hand and who are driving change - and I wanted to share these with you!
This is NOT a sponsored video. My travel costs were covered by the Soil Association - thanks to them for helping me arrange some of the interviews. I am an ambassador for them, which is an unpaid role and one I do out of sheer passion for choosing organic.
Here’s a little sustainable style guide directory for ya:
