About the Work
The fashion industry is responsible for 92 million tons of textile waste produced
every year. And the new trend of fast fashion is only making things worse by
introducing extremely disposable garments filled with microplastics that are
often only worn once before being tossed.
As the world’s largest B Corp distillery, Maker’s Mark wanted to keep the
tradition of ugly holiday sweaters from adding to the waste of fast fashion. So
we partnered with sustainable fashion brand The Endery to create a series of
handknit sweaters that only used pre-existing, deadstock wool. Each
sustainably crafted handknit sweater contains zero plastic and, unlike fast
fashion, can be worn holiday season after holiday season. To create even more
sustainable longevity, 100% of the profits were donated back to the Peruvian
knitting community to ensure the art of sustainable handcrafted sweatering lives
for generations to come
