The term 'vintage' has become quite fashionable. And it's quite good that 'vintage' is now the 'model' instead of fur. I love vintage everything. In my home my dining room walls are adorned with vintage photographs of my family dating as far back as the mid- 1800's.
Whenever I handle or own something vintage I try to imagine this thing has a life of it's own and wonder what it must have gone through or has seen in it's life. Or how many people it has served and who. I also like to give it credit for how well it has held up which again brings us back to a scientific discussion of 'green'.
Obviously the more life we can get out of a product the more efficient it's role will become. As opposed to cheap things such as cheap plastics ,and artificial fabrics which require more processing and chemicals in order to get the final product only to have a very short life span, vintage silk sari fabrics can be considered 'green' , as the fiber is natural thus giving it a long life span to be used as long as possible. Therefore they can be used over and over again. And to keep the cycle going, please do pass your 'SMART SKIRT' along when you've decided you no longer need it. Whether it be to give it to someone else, or cut it up and make beautiful pillow covers from it.
