The Ethical Fashion Forum Global Source Expo

We have just come back this week from exhibiting again at the GSExpo, which took place this year at Sadlers Wells Theatre in London. As usual this was a fantastic event which showcased sustainable and ethical companies from around the world.

We made new contacts, and met so many designers, students and companies looking to do things a bit differently in the fashion world. We enjoyed meeting you all, and look forward to collaborating with you in the future.

Our fabrics were very well received and thank you all for your wonderful comments and your interest in our co-operative.

We have temporarily closed the Panchachuli U.K. store for a month while we re-organise and wait for our new stock to arrive. We have lots of lovely new colours and items arriving for this Autumn/Winter 2011/12, so please check back soon!

We will also be exhibiting again at this years Ethical Fashion Forum Global Source Expo on 17th /18th October 2011 at Sadlers Wells Theatre London...more details to follow soon.

Pure Thread and Panchachuli ''POSES THE QUESTION''....

Last year Jill did a photo shoot of yoga poses mixed with fashion and asked the question...

What can we create that women would love that would combine the two?

So Jill wrapped a scarf around herself and did her practice with the art of the scarf.

News and photographs from our wonderful eco-stylist and friend Jill Heller

The above image is taken at Jill's studio and shows Kee Edwards, designer and founder of Loup Charmant from New York, posing in our Munsiyari Ivory cashmere stole.

Since launching her new website http://www.thepurethread.com/ Jill has been busy working with new designers ...and visiting London, where we met up at Eco Age last November. You can read all about Jill's news on her blog page at the above website...but in the meantime...here are some great new photos.
