These three colours together 😍🤩 What colours would you pick for your reversible bikini? ❤️
At Mitra The Label, being a one woman business based in Bristol, UK, it is important to us that I show and tell the transparency with our production, our fabric and our brand’s ethics. I also want to share industry knowledge, tips and information about sustainable fashion, how garment workers are being treated and what is currently happening in the fashion industry.
The current crisis is highlighting that there are huge issues within the fashion industry that need changing ASAP. One issue within the fashion industry is the fabric our clothing is made out of and the consumption we buy clothes.
Up to 12 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into our oceans every year, that’s roughly a truckload a minute. This overload of plastic in our oceans damages natural habitats and threatens marine life. We are finding plastic in their stomachs, as well as 1 in 3 marine mammal species being found entangled in litter including turtles, dolphins and sharks. With all this plastic ending up in every stage of our food chain. It’s even ending up on our plates.
At Mitra The Label we are helping fight this problem, as well as contributing to the solution. I am committed to sustainable, ethical and planet-friendly practices. I make all of our swimsuits handmade to order, to help minimise waste and only make/stock swimsuits that are needed.
All our remnant fabric is then made in hair scrunchies, hair bands, face bands and patchwork bikinis.
