In the introduction of Fairly Made®’s new e-book, Federica Marchionni, CEO of Global Fashion Agenda, considers the evolving role of sustainability, data, and digital tools in product and supply-chain decision-making and how brands can translate sustainability commitments into operational performance.

Discover From Store to Shore, a new short film from our Impact Partner, Textile Exchange. Produced in collaboration with The Or Foundation, the film spotlights the women of Accra’s Kantamanto Market, whose essential role in the global fashion system receives minimal recognition. It brings into focus their daily realities as they contend with ever growing volumes of low quality clothing imports and mounting textile waste. Watch here: https://lnkd.in/d5Namvgq
🎬 Out now! Our latest film, "From Store to Shore," is now available to stream: https://lnkd.in/d5Namvgq Behind every garment at Accra's bustling Kantamanto Market, there’s a story. Produced in collaboration with The Or Foundation, "From Shore to Store" brings these narratives to life—spotlighting the women whose skill, care, and creativity holds this vast and fragile ecosystem together. From stall owners like Stella Oppong Agyare, whose job now means navigating the decreasing quality the garments that arrive in the bales she buys, to upcyclers like Khadijah Abdallah, whose days are dedicated to transforming the unsalvageable into something new, their work keeps thousands of garments in circulation each day. At the heart of it all is the Kantamanto Women’s Association, a collective formed with support from The Or Foundation to uplift and advocate for the women who hold this system together. But their voices reveal a trade pushed to its limits: low-quality imports, mounting waste, and little recognition from the global fashion industry for the fundamental work they do.
