Screening + Discussion: Woman Grows Jeans

Screening + Discussion: Woman Grows Jeans

Tuesday 29 September
6:45pm - 8:30pm
Join Making Mends and Labour Behind the Label to watch and discuss slow fashion documentary, Woman Grows Jeans as part of Sustainable Fashion Week.

In a country buying 70 million pairs a year, Woman Grows Jeans journeys into our resilient ancestry to reclaim the care and agency that's key to regeneration. After 600 hours, the UK's only pair of home-grown jeans were handmade - not as a relic, but as a provocative signpost toward the future our hearts know is possible. A celebration of the traditional skills that reconnect us to nature's wisdom, this documentary proves that the power to create change is still in our hands.
