    Read excerpt

    As AI and automation increasingly seep into both work and leisure, a cultural counterforce is growing. People are picking up crochet hooks and knitting needles and dusting off sewing machines to escape screen time and embrace a more ‘analog’ life. Nostalgic crafts are having a moment. “This year globally we have really seen a craft movement,” says Yazmin How, head of emerging communities at TikTok UK. The hashtag #CraftTok has seen a 60% increase in videos globally over the past 12 months, accor

    What Does Handmade Actually Mean? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “All clothing is handmade.” In recent years, this has become a popular refrain in sustainable fashion circles, often used to reconnect the clothes we wear with the people who make them. The logic is that no garment is made solely by a machine: even in the most technology-forward supply chains, human hands are needed to manipulate fabric under a sewing machine’s needle, perform intricate tasks like adding lace inserts, and fix inevitable flaws.

Of around 800 Lectra employees, 200 were evacuated from their homes, joining a total of 220,000 across the region forced to seek refuge as authorities struggled to control the flames. Lectra says it expects the long-term impact on operations fro

    What Could Better Brand-Supplier Relationships Look Like? (opens the original)

    When Kim van der Weerd was studying human rights, she thought she had a pretty good grasp on sustainability. Then, she started working in manufacturing and managing garment factories, and everything she knew was, in her words, tossed out of the window. “Not because I suddenly had a shift in my moral compass, but because I felt like most of the solutions in the fashion sustainability toolbox were designed by people who didn’t understand the factory floor,” she says.
