An excellent read, full of ideas and tips for a more sustainable approach to fashion but still feeling good about ourselves and understanding our wardrobes better. Emma makes so much sense but I must work harder at the one item in and one item out routine!

Full of such handy tips
Love this book. I dip in to it regularly to remind myself of small ways to change. I'm very much into all things sustainable but still found so many new ideas and things to try. Great book for newbies to responsible fashion and old hands alike.
It's great to hear you're getting good use out of my book Jessie. Dipping in for reminders is a great way to go. Happy reading.

Practical yet inspirational without being preachy
This book bundles together most, if not all, of the ways to prevent clothes going to landfill in a fun and readable style. Reminded me of some and taught me others. Recognising the positives of fashion it is a blueprint for protecting the environment. The author knows her subject as the owner of Socko an innovative sustainable fashion business.
I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to share your thoughts about my book, and business, Audrey. Thank you!
