Talking about sustainable design: our @localcolours_2021 team is happy to share the crowdfunding campaign "Local Colours II" – Swiss linen dyed for the first time with an industrial process of sustainable natural dyes, which are fully traceable within a radius of < 800 km along the entire value chain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Support us on wemakeit by treating yourself to unique rewards, follow us on Social Media and share the project around you.

Thanks for your support – Let’s peel this together! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Credits: @pengworks @christopherkmueller #LocalColours #VegetableDyes #NaturalDyes #SwissLinen #Swiss #Linen #sustainable #natural #textiles #unisex #recycle #upcycle #sustainablefashion #Traceability #Transparency #CircularEconomy #zhaw @zhaw #färben #wemakeit  #Crowdfunding #zürich

Waste not want not - what is believed to be waste can turn out to be the best piece of inspiration and part of innovation.

They are ready, they are pretty, hope they’ll make you happy!

The Local Colours production of silk squares, dyed with outer red cabbage leaves, shalott peelings and avocado peelings from the regional food industry was successful thanks to the crowdfunding campaign.

I am proud to say they are part of the first production of textiles, dyed 100% naturally with local and compostable remnants.

Local Colours got selected in the 366 initiatives in 2016 to reinvent our world!

Glad to say that the silk square production has sarted! The first production of textiles, dyed 100% naturally with compostable remnants, is happening!

Thank you to France Inter for a podcast about Local Colours! To be listened to here.
