With the advent of COVID-19 my life, like nearly everyone else’s in the world was thrown into disarray. Unable to go to my day job in the conventional way (I had to conduct my physiotherapy consultations via Zoom), I found myself with many more spare hours in my day than I’ve ever been used to.

If you’d have asked me ten or even five years ago what the word ‘sustainable’ meant in the context of fashion and accessories, my immediate thoughts would have been floaty, neutral-coloured garments made of hemp or organic cotton and gaudy glass bead jewellery bought wholesale from developing countries.
