The phrase ‘Building Back Better’ is used with abandon by policy makers, but what does it look like at a grass roots level ?
Building requires bricks and mortar – a raw material and way to stick it together.
Fishy Filaments provides the raw material and 3D printing is providing a way to stick it together.
Our emerging eco-system includes;
Benthos Buttons – Born out of a student project with Finisterre, the Cornish cold water surf brand, Benthos designs custom garment fixings for discerning clothing makers.
Ella Griffee – Ella is an emerging fashion designer whose ethos is founded in comfort, familiarity and security. An antidote to fast fashion Ella’s garments are hand-made to order using ‘deadstock’ fabric and custom buttons from Bethos Buttons to reduce waste to an absolute minimum.
J-Supplied – Owning Cornwall’s largest print farm and operating with both training and in-house design capacity, J-Supplied is championing the use of our materials and recycled plastics more generally. 75% of its output uses recycled plastics.
