The story of a garment that made British fashion history.When an ambitious experiment between a textile activist and a celebrity clothier meets inevitable challenges, one woman is propelled into an initiation that makes British fashion history. With a community of volunteers, they envisioned homegrown jeans sold through a social enterprise—but their work exposed uncomfortable truths about the systems controlling industry. Despite its sophistication, the U.K. can no longer produce clothing without importing materials or causing harm.
In a country buying 70 million pairs a year, Woman Grows Jeans journeys into our resilient ancestry to reclaim the care and agency that’s key to regeneration. After 600 hours, the UK’s only pair of homegrown jeans were handmade—not as a relic, but as a provocative signpost toward the future our hearts know is possible. A celebration of the traditional skills that reconnect us to nature’s wisdom, this documentary proves that the power to create change is still in our hands.
