OC.M inclusion criteria
This is not the place for you if…
-
You are here to find customers for your products. This is a place to share what you do, grow your community and find people to participate in your activities.
-
You don’t know the hands that grew and made the materials you use (unless you make from waste).
-
You are a business producing in bulk, to sell at wholesale.
-
You are reliant on labour priced at much less than your own.
-
You are making for others beyond your own kin, community and locality.
-
The owners of your enterprise earn more than can be justified by the work they put in.
*OC.M is not a place to sell goods. It is a space to connect and collaborate. Thank you for respecting this.
OC.M is home to people and communities that build relationships. Do you do any of the following:
-
Campaign for fairer clothing cultures that exist in harmony with nature?
-
Try to give back as much as you take?
-
Share knowledge, ideas or designs for others to use?
-
Make from or redistribute textile waste?
-
Revive a traditional or indigenous textile practice?
-
Serve the needs of your kin, community or locality and its clothing customs?
-
Participate in seed-to-closet activities, forming bonds with all those that make with you?
