A Textile Approval Application

How do we know if something is "Approved?" There isn't a precise formula, but we're truly looking at three things: 

1. Is it artisan-made? 

An artisan is a skilled craftsperson who creates high-quality, purposeful goods as their livelihood. With a deep commitment to their craft, artisans rely on their artistry to sustain themselves, bringing expertise, attention to detail, and passion to every piece they create.

2. Is it biodegradable or repairable? 

Biodegradable products break down naturally over time through the action of microorganisms, returning to the earth without harming the environment. Repairable items are designed for durability, allowing them to be easily fixed or restored, promoting longevity and reducing waste.

3. Do our customers want this?

Our incredible customer base for Approved Textiles consists of individuals who prioritize ethical fashion, sustainability, and supporting local artisans. They seek high-quality, artisan-made goods that reflect thoughtful design, cultural heritage, and a commitment to positive social and environmental impact.

**While we welcome all applicants, we are currently prioritizing applications from artists in the Américas with special emphasis on wearable fabrics.**
