Ask Netfah: Food Safe Fabrics for Reusable Sandwich Bags

Dear Netfah,

I am working on reusable bags for my kids and Xmas gifts, but heard a lot of the nylon, PUL (polyurethane) fabric and other stuff are not food safe. Any sugestions for ‘food safe’ fabrics or alternatives for my project?

Thank You

Leilane

Dear Leilane,

Fabric That You Can Listen To? What’s Next…

I have been in the fashion industry for over 20 years, and though it is a constant recycling of thoughts and ideas, I still find myself amazed at some of the creative and innovative designs, wearable textile goods, and fashion trends that evolve from the minds of men and women around the world. One such imaginative concept combining both technology and fashion, is sonic fabric.

Have you ever been to a clothing swap? If you haven’t you are really missing out on not only some great fun, but some great finds.

I was invited to my first one from a girlfriend of mine who shops at a private design boutique called Simply Netfah. It is a specialty boutique that carries beautiful wholistic clothing and accessories for women and every spring they hold a gathering at their place where invited clients gather among good food and good company, to exchange old and unwanted articles of clothing from their closets for new ones. It is the boutique owner’s way of giving back to Mother Earth through the encouragement of clothing recycling and sustaining her community through barter exchange.
