My name is Tiffany or you can call me Tiff!

I love shopping second hand, and ditched fast fashion in 2019, in my early twenties I loved fast fashion, every month when my wages would go in my bank account and I would most likely already have clothes in the most popular fast fashion brands basket ready to checkout, but in January 2020 my hobby of sewing become a clothing brand with some serious sustainable and ethical values that switched that up 💌

During 2019 I said farewell to those checkouts and I was researching in depth on what impact the fashion industry had on our planet, I had given up fast fashion for good and I become vegetarian 🌱 There is a part in this process of lifestyle changes you start to feel like Greta Thunberg! 🌍

Then Slow Garments was born as we entered 2020 ✂️ I started with one small sewing machine and cutting fabric on my bedroom floor. Now I have a whole room dedicated to sewing in my sewing studio. I have a big cutting table and 2 industrial sewing machines! Most of all, after being a full time seamstress for 4/5 years now, all of this time has given me invaluable experience and of course my sewing, designing and skills have evolved.

Slow Garments has been built on the foundations of my passion for sewing and sustainability.

I love the creation process it's the most interesting for me when making clothes, from designing to finding the right fabric for a garment.

The sustainable impact of Slow Garments has taken me down many roads of exploring fabrics, threads and more eco friendly haberdashery needed to make the garments last a long time with as little impact on the planet as possible.

Slow Garments values start with the people & the planet 🌍

What’s better than knowing when someone has the same Slow Garment as you, they have those same values too 💚
