The Label Series: Clothing Labels Part 2
So last week I talked about the labels that we see in our clothes that tell us how to care for our clothes, and this week I am going to talk about the materials that clothes are made from.

The Label Series: Clothing Labels
When I was younger and I’d go clothes shopping with my mum, we would always steer clear of items that say ‘hand wash only’, and try not to buy clothes made from synthetic materials.
