Something extraordinary happened today. I had a phone call from Amsterdam, from a young woman called Ljuba. She started telling me a story and I felt shivers going down my spine. It was about a beautiful model called Marlijn who wore a Meelbroek whilst doing a shoot with Vogue Living Netherlands. What a wonderful priviledge to be part of such a special story! And yes, we feel part of it, because every piece of garment we make, is handled by loving hands! From the cmt (factory) to packaging. The hands that make, trim and pack these garments are caring hands. Thank you Marlijn for wearing them with pride.....we are humbled!

This is sweet - This helped families make nicer clothes from recycled materials.

In 1939 Kansas, wheat mills noticed mothers sewing flour sacks into children’s clothes so they redesigned packaging.

During the late 1930s in Kansas, flour mills discovered families were reusing cotton flour sacks to sew clothing for their children. The fabric became valuable during difficult economic times.

Recognizing this practice, companies began producing flour sacks with colorful patterns and decorative prints. The idea helped families create better looking clothes from recycled materials.

The change became an example of how businesses sometimes adapt products to match everyday life. Many vintage dresses made from flour sacks still exist today as reminders of resourcefulness.
