Where to get organic fabrics for start-ip bedding design business?


Minitoots

Recommended Posts

I wondered if anyone would have any suggestions of organic / sustainable fabrics suppliers for a friend of ours who is setting up a small bedding design business? She says:-

?I have designed a range of 3 duvet covers in two sizes with matching pillows and European pillows and I am looking for a manufacturer that can produce these for me ideally using high quality organic materials (Egyptian cotton).

Colour is important in my designs so am looking for bright vibrant options, screen printing utilising water based dyes that comply with Oekotex Standard 100 and with all the most restrictive ecological standards.

Ideally I would like the manufacturer to be able to source the fabric (to my specification), print using my designs and produce the goods. I am uncertain as to whether this would be possible in the UK? My research to date hasn't been fruitful so am open to suggestions. With regard to quantity I would be looking at 20-40 pieces for each design to begin with (however this would depend on cost)?

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
