Sarah Ratty's eco-clothing
Hello
For my textiles course work at school we need to do build a company profile on a company that is concerned bout the environment, particualy textiles. I was reading about how Sarah Ratty designs and makes clothes out of environmentally friendly materials. We have got to design and make a garment using textile materials that are recycled or will have no bad affect on the environment. I was wandering if you could tell me what your company does, who do you sell your products to, how will the environment benefit, how will customers benefit, is there a gap in the market for more companies like yours and any other information that may give me a better knowledge on what you do and what materials are best to use.
Any information would be much appreciated
Leanne Packer.
Thanks for your email, Leanne.... and what a lot of questions!
I am editor or organicfoodee.com, and as such have nothing to do with Sarah Ratty's company — I've simply written the article that you see. As such, I'm afraid I can't answer most of your questions, however I've passed on your email to Sarah's new company, Ciel. I know that they're extremely busy right now getting the Autumn 2003 collection ready, so please don't be disappointed if they don't reply. Fingers crossed...
As I see it, there are two parts to your email. Firstly, you need to make a company profile, describing the market in depth. Secondly, you need to design a garment from eco-friendly fabric.
I simply can't answer the first part, as this is a full-scale marketing report or thesis. However, the experts in the environmentally-friendly textile world are at http://www.oeko-tex.com/
My understanding of the second part of the conundrum is simply... design a garment! It's just like cooking with organic vegetables instead of cooking with non-organic vegetables — basically the same recipe, just better!
Thanks for getting in touch, and I wish you all the best with your quest.
Best of luck
Ysanne
