Reviews

Fashion is really 'not my thing', but I've learned so much from Kate Fletcher over the years. And I just love all the 'local wisdom' embedded in Craft of Use, deepening our ideas about durability, resourcefulness, thrift, links to the land, and redefining materialism. When meaning and wellbeing can be seen to flow not so much from the buying as from the using of any garment, even I might begin to see fashion as 'an expression of our activism'! - Jonathon Porritt, Founder and Director, Forum for the Future, UK
