Subscribe to Introduce your bad indie self green designer getting serious about the business side of fashion

I've been making women's clothing from recycled materials for nearly 4 years, selling at a couple local Seattle boutiques and at annual holiday sales. I'd like to work a little harder on marketing this year and see where that takes me.

    Welcome!

    I know a few fashionistas around. I think most are on here. I'll send you an intro or two!

    Cheers, Amy

    Welcome, Tina! I got my degree in Fashion Design from the IADT down in Tukwila about 3 years ago, and was solely focused on sustainability issues in fashion.

    I know there have been a lot of advances in materials availability recently (I couldn't even get sample bamboo fabric for prototyping women's garments and formalwear).

    I look forward to seeing you more on Biznik! - Christian

    Thank you Amy and Christian! I was happy to see so many individuals in the "Clothing/Fashion" category. This will be a useful tool to stay connected. :)

    Tina-

    I've been in the custom screen-printing and embroidery business for 15 years. Our wholesale clothing distributors have never had more lines of eco-clothing and accessories.

    Let me know if you need some contact information for some of the wholesalers or if you need and printing / embroidery services.
