A LEAF OUT OF FASHION

Off-cuts from the fashion industry and recycled knits from the public have been used to produce ‘Leaf’, a 100 per cent recycled wool fabric, by Kirkby Design. The discarded rags are sorted into colour groups, then shredded and spun into new fibres, producing a collection of 46 hues. This March, the brand is launching ‘Flow’, a fabric with yarn generated from recycled bottles. ‘Leaf’ from £63 per metre (kirkbydesign.com).
