'Recovered' is a project concerned with looking at how experimental textile design can raise awareness about unsustainable fashion consumerism within Australian society. The project aims to bridge the sustainability gap between Australian and Indian cultures by incorporating Indian repurposing techniques into Australian society through a collection of homewares. Denim cast-off clothing has been repurposed through handloom weaving into a range of craft products accompanied by an instruction manual. The publication encourages Australians to incorporate this sustainable practice into their own homes, minimising post-consumer textile waste.
