Lots of talk in #ethicalhour about brands' story and promotion of ethics - we have a whole webpage dedicated to it brm-studio.co.uk/ethics

If you're familiar with our collection, those are the sorts of fabrics we have available, some almost full rolls. There's also some small meterage of other fabrics bought for sampling! #ethicalhour #ecofabrics #etsyuk
Hi #ethicalhour folks - we have a bunch of different eco fabrics we'll be looking to clear out of our studio soon - if you'd like a heads up of what we have and how much we're selling for, drop us a DM or @ with your email address!

We’ll be keeping our Etsy store open for now (etsy.com/uk/shop/brmstudio) and adding our samples and ready-to-wear pieces to it in the next few days. We’ll also keep this twitter account going for now.
I'll be slowly closing down our stores today, but our Etsy store will stay up for the time being, with the pieces that are ready to ship reduced to cost price. We'll also be posting a longer statement on our website and on other social media. Thank you, everyone 💚 - Jen

With that in mind, I've decided to cease trading as brm. This has been a hard decision but really, one which has been a long time coming. I'm very grateful and thankful for the community, particularly here on twitter, for welcoming me and brm and supporting the brand.

It's taken a toll on my mental health, and too often it's seemed like too big a mountain to climb. This year I turn 30, and have been re-assessing what makes me happy, and where I want to be in my life.

I've had a long think over the Christmas break, about the future of brm. I've been working on this brand for a couple of years now, totally self funded, and it's taken a lot of time, energy, and cash to get to the modest position we are in.

Just stumbled across the Shrub Co-op in Edinburgh and love what they’re doing 😍💚 shrubcoop.org
Ethical pals, this is something to keep in mind when posting re: #noblackfriday - encourage people with the means to think differently but don’t shame those in need 💚 teapawt.net/sofiehagen/status/9340…

We are, of course, celebrating #noblackfriday, or #JACindiefriday and asking you (as always!) to #shopethicalinstead - brm and other indie and/or ethical brand are available at Etsy, Folksy, and elsewhere and appreciate your business more than big corporates 😘💚

Great article - #vegan fashion isn't necessarily #ethicalfashion & brands must stop using 'vegan' label to greenwash bit.ly/2xQvZYm

#sustainability is more than a trend, must remind mainstream media & luxury groups. Keep supporting independent media n designers! teapawt.net/eluxemagazine/status/9…
