The Thoughtful Shopper: Wearable art, sustainable footwear, and the sweater vest revival

From printed silk scarves to footwear made from rice, here’s our pick of this month’s coveted and conscious buys

Designed in Ireland and created in Italy by master knitters using premium Peruvian alpaca wool, Irish label Cayo’s latest collection is one of the best new sustainable buys

Finders Keepers

It is the kaleidoscopic prints and avant-garde nature of Found Thread’s collection of silk satin and tassel scarves that give the brand its edge. All designs are the product of Irish textile designer Mia de Las Casas’ drawings, paintings, and collages, which are printed onto natural fabrics that blend art and fashion in a beautifully tactile way. With sustainability commitments well in check, Found Thread also offers a collection of jewellery and bags that are upcycled from remnant fabric. Its third collection launches next month, where you can expect lots of new and original prints. foundthread.com
