history' Cerys MatthewsLinen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics, Wool:
through the stories of these five fabrics, Sofi Thanhauser

New England to those who earn their dowries in the cotton-spinning
factories of South India today, this book traces the origins of
garment-making through time and around the world. Exploring the
social, economic and environmental impact of our most personal
possessions, Worn looks beyond care labels to show how clothes
reveal the truth about what we really care about.'A must-read . .
