I'm Stephanie Safarian and this is episode 109.

You are listening to the Sustainable Minimalist Podcast, a show about living simply and sustainably with your family.

Here's your host, Stephanie Safarian.

Hello there and welcome back. Today we are discussing all things fabric.

We're discussing the eco-friendly ones and the not-so-ico-friendly

ones. We're discussing the ones that are considered to be quality as well as the ones that

are certainly not.

You have heard me say over and over again on this podcast to invest in quality, if you can, right?

Invest in quality if it's financially possible for you.

Well, what is quality exactly when it comes to our clothing?

If you listen to episode 105 with Adam Minter,

that was the one where we discussed what happens to

goodwill donations. You probably heard Adam say that the employees at

donation centers are trained to look for 15 to 20 specific brands of clothing

because historically those 15 to 20 brands are considered to make high quality

pieces. But what really is considered high quality and

eco-friendly fabrics? That's what we're talking about today. So on today's show

we are doing three things. First we are defining terms. So make

sure you are listening to the defining of terms because knowing the terms are crucial for understanding the rest of the

episode. Second, I am diving deep into some of the fabrics that we know and love on the market today, and when I say I'm diving deep I am diving real deep so

buckle up and finally if I lost you on the deep dive part three gives you three takeaways that we can all employ as we

either declutter our closets or add to our closets when purchasing.
