Since the turn of the millennium, the Swedes’ textile consumption has grown by 30 percent. Our clothing purchases are, in fact, the fourth biggest cause of this country’s carbon dioxide emissions.
Furthermore, a shocking two-thirds of these purchases just end up in our household waste. Recycling our clothes, which many clothing companies are now saying is the way forward, is actually not so good for the environment either.
David Palm, one of Sweden’s foremost experts in recycling textiles, says that right now, not even one percent of the clothes which are sent for recycling makes it into new clothes.

Un Filo di Seta listens in earnest to the calls of modern environmental science. We help to extend the life of clothing by using vintage suits which at first appear old-fashioned, but which can be resewn into attractive, tailor-made and Swedish-produced pieces.
