Textile Archive/Pullover C.W Casual Wear (56% Cotton 44% Acrylic)
Like every piece in the Textile Archive, this red pullover came from a used-clothing container, not a donation box (Textile Archive, 2026, canvas 28). Cotton, grown for over 6,000 years, is soft and breathable, but conventional cotton uses a lot of water and chemicals (Fashionary, 2021, pp. 018–019). Polyester is made from petroleum and is the world's most produced fibre – 59% of all fibre in 2024 (Fashionary, 2021, p. 047; Textile Exchange, 2025).
Blends improve comfort or price, but are harder to recycle (Fashionary, 2021, p. 055; Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017). Made in U.A.E for C.W Casual Wear – a reminder of how far our clothes travel. It was set aside because of a stain.
Care tip: Pre-treat stains with mild detergent (oxygen-based stain remover only) and wash gently at low temperature. (Canvas still incomplete in Canva – some details are missing.)
