{"product_id":"510-laundry","title":"510 Laundry","description":"\u003cp\u003e510 Laundry is a mother-and-son duo, Sue and Ed Simpson, united by their shared passion for vintage textiles and creative techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEd, based in Hackney, London, brings a background in art and homeware buying to the venture. Sue, residing in Portobello, Edinburgh, is an experienced quilter, patchwork, and crafter with a background in languages and archiving. The dialogue between their distinct locations and the fusion of their talents have shaped the unique approach to design and production at 510 Laundry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourcing is conducted throughout the UK, with hand dyeing taking place in Edinburgh—an opportunity for Sue and Ed to collaborate closely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach piece they source is vintage and one-of-a-kind, carefully handcrafted and enriched with history. 510 Laundry’s mission is to reintroduce these items into contemporary use, adapting them to modern lifestyles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey restore and reinterpret each piece with sensitivity, honouring its individual story. Their commitment to sustainability is evident in their use of reclaimed materials and natural dyes, including Indigo, Turmeric, Weld, and Madder. Any additional embellishments, such as beads, are reclaimed, and all vintage textiles are made from 100% natural fibers like cotton, linen, and silk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA distinctive pink French knot adorns each item, referencing the laundry marks once used by households to identify their linens during cleaning. The name ‘510 Laundry’ is inspired by the first example of this tradition found in their collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFind out more and follow 510 Laundry:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.510laundry.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.510laundry.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/510_laundry\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e@510laundry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selvedge Magazine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45801775431915,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1395\/5787\/files\/Screenshot2024-09-12at12.51.01.png?v=1726142076","url":"https:\/\/www.selvedge.org\/products\/510-laundry","provider":"Selvedge Magazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
