We were thrilled to contribute to a brilliant sustainability exhibition at Abbey House Museum in Leeds.
The exhibition tells the story of sustainability through the years; how it has long been a part of our lives, but is now more important than ever.
As well as looking at how people have made do, mended and repaired through history, the exhibition shares stories of local people and organisations that put sustainability at the forefront of their lives and working practices.
We are proud to have contributed to a video about sustainability in the Leeds fashion industry.

The exhibition is a great opportunity to find inspiration for changing the way we live and work to benefit and protect the planet and people .
It runs at Abbey House Museum from 10th October 2023 - 7th July 2024
