摘要

We interpret sustainable fashion as a process of change in the ways of thinking and in the practice of design, production, communication, dressing and enjoying fashion, valuing diversity, culture, traditions, prosperity, and the well-being of people and the environment. Aware of the interdependence of the individual, social, environmental, and cultural implications of the fashion industry, sustainable fashion comes to question the system that prioritizes profit over social and environmental concerns. In this chapter, we take as a starting point the traditional algarvian textiles in face of the challenges/opportunities that the growing debates on sustainability provide to these ancestral traditions often forgotten. Focusing on the potentiality of interactivity and the interest that interactive tactile artifacts provide to their users, we present a prototype that aims to promote the traditional linen weaving from Serra de Monchique, in Algarve, Portugal, especially in the wool embroidered “alforges” (saddlebags) and “alforginhos” (small saddlebags).
