Abstract

Exploring the example of the linen manufacturer Växbo Lin in Hälsingland; Sweden; this article begins building a framework for the discussion of that; contrary to the dominant fast fashion mass market sector; slower and more localized fashion textile production and use might be both a symbol of and agent for fostering a low-growth economic system; healthier environmental practices; and social vitality.
