20.01.2022 Where once upon a time there were only two seasons per year (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter), nowadays, multinational retailers like H&M and Zara pump out so many new styles, the industry has 52 microseasons per year - one every week. The consequence? Mammoth amounts of waste, with the average woman only wearing a garment less than 5 times before discarding it after 35 days.

19.01.2022 According to the UN, 20% of global industrial water pollution comes from the fashion industry. How, exactly? Each new garment is washed and dyed numerous times before it even reaches the shop floor. The amount of water used to create a single T Shirt is enough to keep you hydrated for three years!

17.01.2022 You've heard us talk a lot about The Sustainable Hosiery Initiative - what exactly is it, you ask? Hosiery is, in our opinion, the single-use plastic of the fashion industry. That's why we've made it our mission to recover as much of the stuff as we can, to avoid it ending up in landfill and put it to use in new, innovative ways. How do we do this? Every TLC customer is eligible to take part in our recycling initiative. We'll send you a reply paid envelope, you send us back ...your old stockings (doesn't matter if they're not ours - we'll take any brand!) and we send them on to be repurposed into new materials. With your help, we're working towards a more circular fashion industry, and minimising waste, one pair of tights at a time.

15.01.2022 Have you heard the term 'Planned Obsolescence' thrown around recently? Big tech companies like Apple love this strategy, which is essentially designing goods with short shelf lives and programming them to bug out and, essentially, die, after two to three years. In the fashion industry, garments are designed to become unfashionable, wear out easily and fall apart, all to drive sales and trap consumers in an endless buying cycle. We're not about that! Slow fashion is all about buying less, to last longer, which is why all of our hosiery is designed to last. And if it doesn't? Good thing we've got our 60 Day Warranty.

05.01.2022 A 2016 McKinsey report found found that 1 kilogram of clothing over its entire life cycle creates 11 kilograms of greenhouse gases, which means the global apparel and footwear industry accounts for roughly 8% of the world's greenhouse emissions Imagine the difference if every major fashion brand made a commitment to using recycled fabrics like us!

04.01.2022 Given this statistic, and the fact that the majority of hosiery products on the market are designed for only a few wears (Planned obsolescence - hi! That's you!) one thing is glaringly obvious - fast fashion manufacturers are concerned more with the profitability of waste than the impact it has on the environment. Huge red flag if you ask us!

01.01.2022 A 2018 consumer survey report by UK-based Fashion Revolution revealed three quarters of those surveyed would like fashion brands to tell them where the materials used in their garments come from. It's time to get transparent about traceability!
