Balboa Fabrics in Bust Magazine

Bust Magazine feature - beeswax wrapA lovely feature for Balboa fabrics: this awesome, eco-friendly DIY project in Bust Magazine! Grab the Oct/Nov ’18 issue to see the full project, and learn to make your own beeswax wraps from Balboa fabric. The profile of cover gal Busy Philipps written by my friend Lisa Butterworth is a timely feminist read, too. Always excited to see my work featured in my favorite magazines.

SD City BeatI’m thrilled to see that Cotton & Flax’s zero waste initiatives are highlighted in an article in San Diego CityBeat this week. They rounded up artists and designers from around the city who are reducing their consumption and waste, and moving towards a zero waste lifestyle, and it’s amazing to think about what these efforts could achieve. Proud to be featured alongside these sustainability-focused business leaders!

Linen Napkins for Sustainability

April 27, 2018

bust magazine feature april 18Sustainability advocate Sara Tso wrote an illuminating article about her zero-waste kit, the tools and supplies she uses on a daily basis to reduce her consumption and waste. I was delighted to see that Sara recommended our linen napkins, which she uses in place of paper towels in her lunchbox every day.

“Cloth napkins are multipurpose. Use them to dry your hands (no more paper towels!), for any wipes or spills, or for grabbing a cookie from the local bakery. Splurging on a cute one will ensure its place in your kit.” – Sara Tso
