Every Thread Matters, a blog post by EcoGoodz, a bulk linens supplier

We enjoy bringing to light some of the innovative fashion, accessory, and textile companies we become aware of; specifically companies whose mission is to create something from nothing; to give value to the (otherwise) valueless–much like we do with bulk linens and other used textiles. The textile industry may be full of waste, but it is also full of innovation and inspiration! We literally just came across this video and loved everything about it. We wanted to share it with you asap:

Clothing from scraps? Zero waste? Living wages? Yes, yes, yes!

From the tonlé website:

Our process starts with scrap waste sourced from mass clothing manufacturers. Using every last thread, we create handmade clothing and accessories signed by their Cambodian makers.

Our family of employees is made up of individuals with spirit, drive and dreams. Together, we’ve built a supportive environment where everyone expresses themselves freely, learns new skills, and gains confidence in what they do.

We believe style is more than what you wear – it’s what you choose to be a part of. When you buy tonlé, you’re

buying one-of-a-kind clothes that carry meaning across cultures and continents.

Their website is full of fantastic information about their products, their processes, and the “why” of their mission. Even if you only have a few minutes today, jump over to tonle.com and take a look.

We’d love to know what you think of them–their philosophy, their process, their products, all of it. What are your thoughts? Share them below!
