Materials

Materials

1. Environment

   • I don't want to create extra landfill so by making sure to use or recycle materials to be reused can ensure that I minimise my fabric wastage as much as possible

2. Durability

   • The materials I chose must be durable and be able to withstand different weather conditions; such as rain, heat or wind.
   • These materials shouldn't immediately break when the consumer wears it

3. Accessibility

   • I need to research my materials to make sure I can actually get them
   • If I cannot get the materials I wanted, possibly researching into alternatives that are close or another I like as well

4. Cost

   • My materials must be cost-effective and be able to fit in a budget
   • I should make my prototypes out of old fabrics to save on costs and wastage

5. Safety

   • My products must be safe for the consumer to use. eg. should not have any sharps sticking in or out, any loose threads that could snap and break
