Divas don’t do stains: how learning to wash my clothes the right way opened up my wardrobe

For most of my adult life I've been terrified of clothes made from natural fibres and luxury garments.

Organic cotton: everything you need to know about the comfiest ethical fabric for summer

Happy summer, people! It's finally time to be thinking about our summer wardrobes, whether you're off on holiday or having a staycation here in the UK. Maybe it's a sign of my age, but these days I'm not only conscious of where my clothes have come from but what they are made of. On a warm day I can't stand to be in polyester or viscose.
