Reconnaître la qualité d'un vêtement

Recognizing the quality of a garment

Responsible consumption means buying less and buying better. When we talk about clothes and their value, we are often told at the workshop that it is difficult to measure the quality of a garment. We know that a garment made here is worth more, but how else can we distinguish good quality from bad? Where do we start to determine if a garment is worth the investment?

Why do we need to encourage the local economy?

I wrote this text in 2019 when my brother Jonathan started his digital food market project, Maturin. It provides a sales platform for local food producers, and his work resonates with that of Catherine and me. The local economy seems to be a family affair back home. I think it's more than topical to share it with you today!
