“We should provide fair working conditions for the dressmakers, for the manufacturers and of course we should be respectful with the environment”
Tytti Thusberg is a sustainable fashion creator and designer from Finland. In San Sebastian, where she has lived since 1996, Tytti has her studio and showroom. Thanks to her interest in sustainability, she has taken part in a number of projects in connection with eco-design and she leads projects in the area of textile recycling. Throughout her career, Tytti has designed and manufactured costumes for various theatre plays, as well as develop projects in connection with slow fashion and upcycling for private companies. Her designs, based on recycled materials, have been presented in a number of exhibitions, catwalks and international tradeshows. Owner of her own clothing brand, Tytti also has a brand called Slowbag to sell her range of handbags made with recycled seatbelts. She is also a consultant for emerging talent in fashion design in Tabakalera, the International Centre for Contemporary Culture, based in San Sebastian.
Interview by Erin Boyle Beltran de GuevaraHow did you start in the world of sustainable fashion?
When I was young, I used to recycle all the old pieces of material I could find in my house. Of course, in those days recycling or sustainability were terms nobody used. For me it was just a way of experimenting. As I grew up my interest in fashion and sustainability developed.
In the 90s, something that could be called Eco fashion started. I somehow felt I could identify myself with that movement, since
it was in-line with the way I saw life and the way I wanted to do fashion. I have always felt that there is an ethical way of doing fashion, a way that takes into account raw materials and not the exploitation of natural or human resources.
Which materials do you prefer to work with?
Well, there are lots of them, some I use a lot are teabags, yogurt lids, nets used to pack fruit and vegetables, coloured electricity cables, video tapes, certain type of tights, surgical masks, remains from the industry, celluloid and so on.
I always make clothes for women, I feel more comfortable doing this and I feel I can be more creative and make more attractive and flamboyant garments. I have experimented with men’s fashion, but
I find that the materials I use in my creations are more difficult to adapt to men’s clothing.
When was your first catwalk?
I remember it well! I was a student in the University of Applied Sciences in Kuopio, Finland, when I did my first catwalk. I took part in a number of catwalks in those days but the most important one was when I won the Smirnoff International Award in Finland. As a result of this, I was given the chance to go to South Africa with my design. It was a great experience and I did quite well in the catwalk in South Africa too!
“When I was young, I used to recycle all the old pieces of material I could find in my house”
I made a jacket to enter the competition. My creation was made with felt that I produced with wool from Finland. My jacket was made embroiling the carded wool and then I made the felt. The raw material I used was local, I dyed the thread with natural plants I collected in the forest near where I was. It meant a lot to me because it was a new way to make felt.
That was also my final year project and I was given the highest mark. I have been creating sustainable fashion ever since!
Where do you get the materials you work with in Spain?
For upcycling, I often get my textiles from second-hand warehouses, I go there very often. But for making my bags I need seatbelts. I started by going to scrapyards to get them. Then I found a seatbelt factory in Barcelona but unfortunately that factory closed and now I get them in a different place.
Tytti, in your opinion, what steps should be taken in fashion, one of the most contaminating industries on the planet, to make fashion more sustainable?
I think we should reduce production, and we should also improve the quality of what it is produced, we should provide fair working conditions for the dressmakers, for the manufacturers and, of course, we should be respectful of the environment. It is much more expensive to buy many cheap clothes than to opt for a timeless design of good quality. This is why I am an advocate of slow consumption, slow fashion.
Why did you decide to stay in Spain?
Well, it was quite peculiar. It was when I was at Uni that I invented the felt system I told you about. I concentrated very much in the symbolism of circular figures; it was fascinating for me. In Kuopio I met a guy from the Basque Country who told me that that type of symbiology was very important in the Basque Culture, so I was curious to learn more about that culture.
When I won the Award in Finland they gave me a scholarship of artistic creation and I decided to leave Finland and look for other places where I could investigate about circular figures and find wool to make felt. I remembered my Basque friend, got in touch with him, rented a studio in San Sebastian and I am still here. I
have to say that my Basque friend is now my husband. This is why I am still in San Sebastian.
What is the Tytti Thusberg style?
For me it is the material that dictates the design normally. Materials are so important to me that I tend to focus on textures. I feel inspired by austerity, simplicity and harmony. Finn or Japanese designs inspire me with their pure, clean lines. I also feel that when one part of the garment stands out, the perfect harmony must be found.
On the other hand, I am interested in artisan methods and I apply them to my creations.
How do you see the recycle based fashion in the future?
Nowadays there are many different proposals, and very professional ones by the way. There is a lot of high-level research and innovation, transformation of materials using industrial methods, circular economy methods and so on.
In my opinion, in the future big brands will have to make a bigger effort to create a more sustainable production at all levels, not only greenwashing. Consumers are more savvy and they know what they want. Sustainability is something more and more consumers demand and big brands will have to adapt.
Small brands like mine have been working this way for a long time and I feel the future lies here.
What are you working on now?
I am creating some artistic sculptures for an exhibition in San Sebastian.
I am also constantly working in the production of Slowbag bags, and in parallel, I have two projects to create costumes for two theatre shows. I am the designer and also producer in one of them and I am the costume production director in the other. This last one is a very intense and important project with lots of collaborators.
And I am very excited about an international project for next spring. It looks really interesting but it is too early to make it public.
Life brought me to San Sebastian and these days my life and my family are here. I think it will be very difficult for me to go back to Finland.
Many thanks to Tytti for contributing to our magazine

Fast fashion contributes to the second largest polluter in the world, the fashion and textile industry. According to waste statistics on fast fashion, the industry produces over 92 million tonnes of waste per year. Every year Brits throw away a staggering £140 million worth of clothes that are still wearable. Fast fashion is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions yearly and by 2050 the fashion industry could be responsible for 26% of the world’s total carbon emissions.
The demand for renting an outfit has increased dramatically within the last few years with the market expected to be worth £2.3 billion by 2029. The increased popularity has inspired big-name brands including the likes of John Lewis who have launched their own scheme called ‘dress for hire’. They first trialled this scheme two years ago and within 48 hours the whole collection had sold out. You can rent the pieces for 4, 8, 10 or 20 days and then simply return the item back to John Lewis. The whole concept of renting a wardrobe allows you to wear expensive and designer clothing items for a fraction of the price.
One of the UK’s biggest rental wardrobe sites is By Rotation. Eshita Kabra-Davis founded it as her own personal way to combat the effect of textile waste that she experienced first-hand while on her honeymoon to Rajasthan, India. She immediately knew something was wrong and that she had to do something about it. She launched the world’s first social fashion retail app in October 2019. Their main mission states, “By Rotation is a community-powered platform determined to transform the way we consume fashion, by empowering and connecting like-minded individuals.” By Rotation doesn’t charge subscription fees as it aims to create an inclusive community. As of November 2021, they have over 150,000 users and the app is a peer-to-peer service. This means that the lender of the clothes manages everything by themselves including the price they’ll charge, the delivery of the item and the cleaning of the item.
Kabra-Davis states that, “A lot of people have noticed how small their space is and how much stuff they’ve amassed, and realised they don’t need that much,” so are now using renting apps to fulfil their fashion desires but not clutter their wardrobes even more. She also says, “We’ve become more aware of how fast fashion is produced as I think people have had time to read a lot and they’ve realised there’s something wrong with the way that they are consuming. They’re beginning to look for ways they can replace fast fashion,” and one of these ways is renting clothing instead.
The Covid pandemic has also played a role in the rise in popularity of renting clothing because people have become more money conscious. Sasha Newall from My wardrobe HQ states that, “Rental is picking up because people are really concerned about their pay packet but still want something new and nice to wear without the financial risk,” so people are turning to these companies as they allow them to do exactly that, rent and wear items for a fraction of the original retail price.
Launching in 2019 My Wardrobe HQ quickly became one of the biggest players in the market. They combine stock from lots of influencers and celebrities including Poppy Delevinge and Arizona Muse. They partner with over 500 designers including Stella McCartney, Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Saint Laurent, Givenchy and many many more allowing you to rent high-end luxury goods without spending a fortune on buying them. My Wardrobe HQ also partners with Harrods allowing you to rent the designers that they have stocked in their department store.
One of the biggest benefits of renting clothes is sustainability. The circular model of renting fashion eliminates the wear-once problem encouraged by fast fashion.
The ‘wear- once’ mindset is particularly prevalent these days with companies like Shein and Primark. These companies are highly accessible and provide extremely low-cost items so have become very popular.
“In a survey carried out by the UK charity Barnardos, it recognised that 25% of people would be embarrassed to be seen wearing the same outfit twice on a special occasion.”
Along with this, the increase of influencers on Instagram and other social media platforms has also made an influence on the wear-once mindset. This is due to the fact that many influencers don’t like to be seen wearing the same outfit more than once on their social media feed and this has already filtered down into the general population. In a survey carried out by the UK charity Barnardos, it recognised that 25% of people would be embarrassed to be seen wearing the same outfit twice on a special occasion. This figure rises to 37% amongst the ages of 16-24 where the influence of social media is particularly prominent in their everyday lives.
One area where renting clothing has become very popular is occasion wear. People are renting dresses and other outfits for events including weddings, anniversaries, reunions, birthdays and formal events. This is mainly because people tend to buy an outfit for a special occasion and only wear it that one time, which contributes to the wear-once consumption issue. Most of the time these outfits can be fairly expensive so by renting an outfit not only are you eliminating putting it away in your wardrobe to never be worn again but you are also saving money, sometimes hundreds of pounds.
There are lots more rental sites in the UK including Hurr Collective, Rotaro, Cocoon Club, Hirestreet and Baukjen. Hurr Collective was founded in 2018 by Victoria Prew and Matthew Geleta and is a peer-to-peer service for renting clothes. Hurr Collective partners with big-name brands including Ganni where you can rent their past and present pieces on the app. They also allow you to rent clothes from some celebrities and many influencers including India Sehmi and Lucy Williams. Another thing that makes Hurr Collective one of the biggest renting clothing brands is that you can even rent in-store at Selfridges.
Rotaro is one of the best sites when it comes to renting a dress for a wedding. You can rent outfits from brands like Rixo and Cecilie Bahnsen. Rotaro also has a bridal wear section so you can rent an outfit for your special day as well. It is also one of the best sites in terms of sustainability because all of its packaging for clothing and accessories is all recyclable and biodegradable, all of its items are washed using a wet wash which is a more eco-friendly substitute to dry cleaning. Their delivery service is also all completely carried out using a carbon-neutral courier. Rotaro also has a section where you can purchase second-hand clothing for very reasonable prices.
If you are on the hunt for the best handbags to rent, Cocoon Club is the one for you. The difference between this service and the ones I have already talked about is that it is a subscription-based service. From £79 per month, you get access to a wide selection of luxury handbags that will arrive at your door the day after you rent the item. You also have access to one complementary bag swap where members can keep the bag for up to six months. Cocoon Club allows you to sell any of your own old luxury handbags to them and you can also purchase preloved and vintage handbags from them from the likes of Chanel and Gucci.
One of the most affordable services out there is Hirestreet. The company was founded by Isabella West and it is focused on offering more high-street focus clothing for renting. Recently M&S have partnered with Hirestreet to launch clothing available to rent with the average price of an item being £15. You can also use Hirestreet’s
bundle option where you can rent three items of clothing for just £50 and this lasts for a 30-day period. On top of everything, you can purchase insurance for £4 which will cover any damage or stains that might accidentally happen.
Baukjen is a great website for basics. It is a certified B corporation, which means it meets the highest environmental and social performance standards, accountability and transparency. Due to its commitment to reducing its impact on the environment, it launched the rental clothing brand where the rental prices of everything can be from as little as £13 for two weeks. The sizing on the platform also goes up to 18 which is more inclusive than some of the other competitors mentioned.
As you can see there are many many great rental platforms out there that all offer you something unique and different. They all aim to make the world more sustainable and reduce the impact of fast fashion on the environment. So if you’re wondering whether to start renting clothes, I‘d say, “Of course!”

Self-care is one of those things that no one ever deems very important. I entirely disagree. I find that Self-Care can take you from feeling at one of your lowest lows to feeling ready to face the next day as if you never left a place of productivity. According to the Circle Health Group, self-care can protect your mental health, decrease stress and anxiety levels, and help to improve your relationships with those around you. Of course, there are different forms of self-care, and no two people are the same. Even by taking a night to yourself dedicated entirely to making yourself feel calm and clean, I feel you will find your week stops feeling so long and you won’t be left waiting for the weekends. Self-care can be found in the simplest of things whether it be lighting some candles and taking just that little bit longer in your bath or shower, to use a detox mask and face oils to give you that extra clean feeling. Its importance in a healthy weekly lifestyle is immeasurable. However, while these are all very short and temporary forms of self-care to improve your day-to-day lifestyle, you could incorporate them into your daily routine. Again, while different things work for different people some of the main techniques that I have found that work for those around me are things such as flossing your teeth every day (while it seems minuscule it makes you feel so much cleaner and productive), meal planning (personally I find that this makes me feel a lot more organised and in control of my daily life as well as not having to worry about cooking after a long day of working), having a skincare routine (this can not only improve your health but give you a very clear start and end to your day). There are, of course, many more methods, and it is all about trying new things until you find something that works for you but, in the end, it will always help.

A capsule wardrobe is a collection of high-quality clothing pieces that are interchangeable and work well together, tailored to fit your personal style.
Whether you have a preppy-chic fashion sense or a more dramatic and edgy approach, a capsule wardrobe is the right choice for anyone.
Do you have that one shirt that you hate to put in the wash? Well, imagine having that favourite shirt in three different colours! It is an effective, money-friendly way to make getting dressed in the morning a lot easier!
however, we continue to promote this destruction of the planet. This low cost and speed of clothing production leads to low quality garments that do not have long duration periods. However, by building a wardrobe full of high-quality clothing, preferably from reputable brands, you are ideally not buying and throwing out clothes as often. Because the items are of
Undefined, the capsule wardrobe has been around since as early as the 1940s but was officially defined by Susie Faux in the 1970s. Susie Faux is a boutique owner based in London and originally came up with the term “Capsule Wardrobe”. She described it as, “a limited number of essential or staple items that you can wear for multiple seasons.” Back in the 1900s, a capsule wardrobe was known as a coloured collection of highquality garments, and to this day the definition has not really changed! However, now with the broad range of inclusive styles for any age and gender, the capsule wardrobe can be tailored to fit any style. The modern day capsule wardrobe should put you in the driver's seat of your fashion choices and help you create a wardrobe filled with garments that complement your style.
Why should you have one?
- More sustainable
With fast fashion rapidly dominating the fashion market the quicker our clothes are the more they endanger the environment. In 2023 fast fashion is something almost everyone is aware of,
as frequently. Also, by having a minimal and reduced wardrobe, you are not spending as much money on clothing all of the time and therefore not promoting fast fashion.
According to the Telegraph, a study found that we all struggle in the morning when choosing an outfit, whether it is for comfort or style, work or play. But with a capsule wardrobe picking outfits in the morning has never been easier! With a wardrobe full of your favourite garments in various colours, putting together an outfit will be quick and stress free.
Capsule wardrobes consist of fewer garments making it easier to pick out an outfit, therefore the decision-making process is a lot less stressful. By minimising the time you spend on choosing outfits in the morning, you can use the extra time to spend on something more
How to create a wardrobe full of your favourite clothing items, to mix-and-match, to create an endless collection of outfits for any occasion.
“A capsule wardrobe is about creating a wardrobe full of your favourite garments to mix and match with on any occasion.”
“Women will spend almost one year of their lives deciding what to wear”
enjoyable, like having a relaxing coffee!
- Organisationally Beneficial
Having a minimal closet with fewer items means you will have more space in your wardrobe! With more space in your wardrobe, it will be neater and easier to navigate, therefore not as stressful and an easier space to maintain.
If you are like me, putting away clothes is one of the most dreaded tasks after washing. However, with fewer clothes that means less time you have to spend putting them away. What more could you want?
- Financially Beneficial
One of the main purposes of a capsule wardrobe is to build a collection of high-quality garments that are durable. Therefore, this saves you spending money frequently on unnecessary clothing items. You will only need to go clothes shopping when one of your items needs to be fixed or replaced, which shouldn’t be very often.
Where to start?
Now for the important part, how do you get started?
Declutter your wardrobe
This is the part we are all dreading to hear, but as they say, “out with the old and in with the new.” The first crucial step to a capsule wardrobe is to start getting rid of clothes. Now, if you are like me, you’ll have an excuse for every single piece of your clothing, even if it is two sizes too small! However, there are many ways to help you decide which items should not be a part of your wardrobe. Here are two of my favourite methods:
Method 1
The most basic and simple way to determine what clothes should go is to ask yourself, “When did I last wear this?” If the answer to that question was a couple of months ago or even more, then chances are it is not a good addition to your capsule wardrobe. Put those clothes in a pile, away from the rest. Then according to your lifestyle, work and hobbies pick out your best and most worn clothing items and lay them all out. This should help you determine your style, your colours and what you tend to wear.
Method 2
This idea from Sharron Torrens is called the “Reverse Hanger Trick” and this adds a bit of fun to your decluttering experience! Basically, you hang all your clothes up with the hangers facing the same way, and every time you wear an item you turn the hanger the opposite way. This will help you determine the clothes you don’t wear as frequently and that shouldn’t be added to your capsule wardrobe. However, this method does take a bit longer, but if you are indecisive like me, it’ll be worth it!
Now once you have the pile of clothing that you will no longer be needing, someone else could benefit. Give your clothes a second life and donate to a
When you have your final favourite garments the next part is to start the initial setup! Depending on what your lifestyle is and what works best for you, decide on categories and sort your items into them. Examples of categories are:
Jeans, T-shirts, Skirts and Blazers.
To build the most effective capsule wardrobe I would recommend that all of your clothes fit into a colour scheme (eg, neutral, dark, bright) depending on your individual style.
The easiest colour scheme to create would be a neutral basic coloured wardrobe with an accent colour to fit your preference.
What items should you
The basic clothing items I would recommend including in a capsule wardrobe would be a couple of plain t-shirts, black and blue jeans, a black and a different coloured jumper, a plain cardigan, black trousers, three jackets, a couple of skirts and a plain dress for any occasion. As well as these items you can spice up your wardrobe by adding unique coloured or patterned garments to tailor to your preference. Now, don’t forget shoes and accessories as these are just as important in adding value to your capsule wardrobe. If you choose carefully and include the right items you should be able to create a wardrobe filled with limitless outfit combinations. How much should you spend?
After evaluating your wardrobe, you might need to purchase some new items to fully complete and be satisfied with your wardrobe. With this being a long but worthwhile process there is no rush! A key tip to buying high-quality, long-lasting garments is to shop with reputable brands. As you will be wearing clothes for a longer duration, they need to withstand any wear and tear and therefore be of a high standard, however that does not mean you always have to break the budget!
Take over your wardrobe, start embracing your style, and find out what works for you whilst also saving money and the environment! A capsule wardrobe makes getting dressed fun, easy, and efficient! Why not start yours now?

The white trainer: needs no introduction, does it?
Unless you have been living under a rock, since, well 1936 to be precise, you will probably own a pair or at least know what I’m talking about. Long surpassed that of a trend, the white trainer has become a cemented staple in our everyday wardrobe.
by Rachel Johnstone
album of all time. In fact, John loved the style so much, he also wore them during his wedding to Yoko Ono.
The world flirted with the white trainer during the decades that followed, but it wasn’t until 1965, that its true place in fashion’s Hollywood walk of fame would be established with Stan Smith emblazoned on his star.
But how did a technical sporting shoe become one of the world’s most popular, and essential fashion items in circulation today?
Society’s love story with the white trainer can be traced all the way back to the 1936 German Olympics, where basketball player Chuck Taylor added the iconic white high top to his collaboration with the ever-popular brand, Converse All-Stars. The shoe was unsurprisingly an instant hit with players, but perhaps more surprisingly, the young, American boys weren’t far behind, quickly donning the item as more of a casual, lifestyle shoe.
Across the pond, a similar trend was in motion, with the ‘Spring Court’ to thank. Launched in Paris in 1936, the revolutionary tennis shoe was designed for play on clay. Distinguished for its unique rubber sole, the style, didn’t take long to be seen off the court and onto the feet of our favourite musicians and artists. John Lennon sported the iconic all white Spring Court trainer on the cover of Abbey Road in 1969, possibly the most iconic Beatles
The iconic Stan Smith (later to be renamed the Adidas Stan Smith), was designed in collaboration with the former world number one tennis star. With two Grand Slam singles and five Grand Slam double wins to his name, this seemed enough to attract both tennis players and fashion followers alike, enticing those who relished the opportunity to adorn the acutely successful athlete’s name. The style achieved instant popularity for both its celebrity status and simple, versatile silhouette, selling a record-breaking 22 million pairs by 1988 – a number assured to increase even today, with the style’s popularity ever-present.
The style was originally intended to be named after tennis player, Robert Haillet in 1965, however his retirement in 1971 meant that the style was gifted the iconic Stan Smith name we know and love today.
As part of their growing product portfolio, the ‘superstar’ was another of Adidas’s iconic styles released in the 1960s. First launched in 1969, with the intention of being a basketball shoe, the style quickly
“From the tennis court to the high court, the shoe seems to have quite literally muscled its way into every aspect of our day to day lives”
became popular among the hip-hop culture before expanding into mainstream fashion by the 1980s.
Perhaps the most notable of the white trainer dynasty, and potentially that image you have in your head when someone says ‘white trainer’ is that of the Nike Air Force One, a style still prominent on our streets today. The very first AF1 was available for purchase in 1982, arriving at the time as an all-white mid-top, with the iconic all-white low-top not arriving until the following year. Designed by Bruce Kilgore – a Nike veteran, the AF1 was the first basketball shoe to feature Air cushioning. The shoe was also unique in its appearance, a recognisable style in the market for its many features, the perforated toe box as well as the rubberised sole captured the attention of many. Despite its growing popularity and original design, rumours of a discontinuation followed, however, these were soon squashed by three Baltimore businessmen, who expressed a demand for producing exclusive AF-1, a conversation which would spark the start of the limited editions of the AF-1, and partly to thank for the birth of the over 2000 versions of the style that exist today, no wonder you can never find your size!
The Air Force One is so iconic, it even has its own song! The 2001 hit ‘Air Force Ones’ by Nelly discusses the shoe and his utmost desire to own them.
In 2022, as I’m sure you’ll agree, the marketplace is positively inundated with the white trainer, possibly even reaching that boring stage. Not a shop that doesn’t sell its unique interpretation nor a moment in the street where they aren’t on the feet of younger and older consumers alike. From Primark’s £10 style to Hermès £920 day sneaker, there is something for everyone. The same can be said for the item’s usage, not escaping the pandemic, the white trainer also endured a culture shock during the world lockdown. Society moved to a desire for comfort, and the work from home movement meant shoes were off camera, and the idea of out of sight, out of mind came into play. Already a statement only adorned by the fashion forward (Zendaya and Kendall Jenner to name just a few), the pandemic saw the large flourish of the formal trainer. Disapproved by your oldest relative, the trainer has very much made its way to formal wear. From dresses at weddings, to suits in the office, the white trainer has most definitely become appropriate no matter the occasion.
Having established the white trainer as a staple item and with its ever-increasing usage, it’s understandable when our poor white trainers get a little battered and bruised, subjected to countless trips to the supermarket and brisk walks to catch the last bus. As we evolve in a world with an ever-pressing climate change crisis, it wouldn’t be fair to end the article without telling you all about how to give your favourite white sneaks a little TLC, saving you some pounds, while helping the earth that little bit more.
With the Adidas Stan Smith’s now not even recommended for tennis whilst white now only a required colour at Wimbledon, its longevity on the runway has long outrun its sporting counterpart, a clear demonstration of society’s loyalty to iconic styles.
With highly branded designs at the forefront of society’s mind, the arrival of Common Project’s ‘Achilles’ in 2004 welcomed a much-needed break from the idea of posturing, with founders Peter and Flavio spotting the need for a cool, understated minimal trainer in the market. The inflated price point meant that it easily found its place in the ever-more saturated market. With a devoted focus on high-quality materials, the shoe satisfied a more mature customer.
Many revolutionary releases proceeded in the years that followed, from the Reebok Club C in 1985 to Alexander McQueen’s in 1993, it’s impossible to name each and every movement in the white trainer’s evolution, however, taking a closer look at some of the key trends and design styles which emerged in the earlier decades allows us to understand just how we got to where we are today.

A quick step-by-step guide. 1 3 4
First things first; take the laces off your shoes, place them in some soapy water and leave them while you prepare to perform lifechanging surgery on your, soon to be, white trainers.
Cleaning the outside with a weak solution of warm water and washing-up liquid or shampoo should do the trick perfectly. Using a soft cloth, rub gently over the shoe in circular motions.
Use the same solution to scrub the bottom of your shoe, however this time with a bristle brush if you have one handy. Using a toothbrush to softly clean your leather can be a great way to take out any stubborn stains. Be gentle though - treat the leather like you would the skin on your face!
To prepare your trainers for more countless hours of fun, finally, stuff your trainers with tissue paper or kitchen roll to soak up any excess water and allow them to air-dry overnight.
So, next time you wear your beloved white trainers, perhaps you’ll think that little bit more about just how much history and evolution has gone into such an ordinary, but classic item in all our wardrobes today.
“It’s fascinating to notice how sport’s association with the white trainer has grown as we move through the decades, and just how so many of the iconic styles seen today originated in the world of professional sport”
