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. This means localizing clothing production and using natural fibers to make clothes instead of oils.

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