It’s ‘climate crunch time’ and everything we care about (and rely on!) is now under threat. In February 2019, The Sustainable Living Festival – now in its 20th year – is making it a mission to present the very best discoveries to restore a safe climate as fast as humanly possible.
How can fashion help to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees? Find out with us!
Suitcase Rummage and Seljak Brand are bringing together Well Made Clothes, Oxfam, Finding Infinity, and Sustainability Victoria, to talk fashion industry solutions to climate change. The panel discussion on Sustainable Living Festival’s Big Weekend will go beyond the usual conversations around supply chain issues, textiles recycling, buying less and buying better – focusing instead on how fashion can halt its contribution to global warming, drastically and quickly.
We’re also asking attendees (you!) to bring along one old garment (with some semblance of style!) to contribute to the clothes swap at Suitcase Rummage held after the panel discussion.

About us Suitcase Rummage is a grassroots market designed to encourage members of the community to engage in ethical exchange, aiming to present an alternative platform for clothing and product consumption.
