Synopsis

In this passionate and timely book, Patrick Grant explores our broken relationship with clothing. Once cherished and repaired, garments are now overproduced, undervalued and discarded at staggering rates. Weaving his own journey through fashion with insights into craft and sustainability, Grant argues for fewer, better-quality things. 

Celebrating care, skill, and thought in what we wear, the author shows how rethinking clothes can restore joy, spark local prosperity, and challenge a wasteful system built on excess.
