First of all, that Loom App is 🔥. I loved looking at all the examples on their IG page. Second, reading these weekly posts makes me want to live in NYC (or London). So many interesting events I’d want to attend in person. I need to figure out who is doing this work here in Portland, Oregon. Thank you for pulling these lists together and for the inspiration!
Yess totally agree, love what Loom is doing! Glad you're enjoying even if from afar :) I racked my brain / did a poke through my IG and found a few people & companies I've come across that are doing cool stuff in Portland:
- Portland Garment Factory
- Village Mending
- SCRAP Creative Reuse
- HILOS Studio
- Graziano & Gutierrez
You may already know of / follow them but figured I'd share just in case!
Thanks, Anne! SCRAP is quite fun. I’ve heard of Village Mending but the others are new to me. Question: what did you search to find those? Other people might want to find these types of resources in their area.
Sorry for such a delayed response! Was traveling and finally back & getting caught up. Good q, I think I came across them all organically over time and started following them. I also did a big research push to see what was going on in the circular fashion space back in fall ‘23 before starting this newsletter. Aka a lot of googling, following companies on LinkedIn, and talking to ppl in the space who mentioned other cool companies in passing!
