Today’s fashion isn’t sustainable. That is why a movement wants to create a circular system of clothing—from agriculture to product and back again—within 250 miles of where you live.

By localizing our clothing systems, we can not only reduce the environmental impact of producing clothing, but also help boost local economies.
