I'm making one Fing a day, throughout the week of Black Friday, in an attempt to oppose the routine mass-consumption we see as an industry this week.
5 Fings, in 5 days and that's all.
No extravagant reduction in cost, no bulk ordering of thousands of garments, being pumped out at a next-to-nothing price. Just 5 pieces, made from materials that have already lived a life.
These Fings are kind.
Kind to you: making you feel epic on the inside, as well as out. Kind to your surroundings; repurposing fabrics that were otherwise cluttering up our spaces. Kind to the maker. All elements of the process behind each piece were treated fairly.
Investing your hard earned money in the future of your wardrobe, your surroundings and the planet.
Black Friday can be a life saver, finally being able to afford the items you've been holding out for all year. But when it becomes a breeding ground for overconsumption, bag loads of plastic, that will most likely not be in your wardrobe by the summer time - this is what Fings is attempting to counteract.
Think before we buy. Shop consciously. Slow down your wardrobe.
