Hoylake designer grows UK's first pair of jeans
Available for over a year
Justine Aldersley-Williams from Hoylake is a textile designer and teacher specialising in natural fabric dyeing. She's on a mission to help us all move away from fast fashion and, in a lengthy process, has grown her own pair of jeans. She's created a sustainable alternative to denim by growing and weaving her own linen and says making the garment has been a gruelling "rollercoaster".
