Lumber Vogue

Wood-inspired designs gain ground on the fashion scene

2. Wood-imitation Products - Companies are creating wood-imitation products, including liquid wood and faux bois boardshorts, which offer environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional plastic and synthetic materials.
3. Recycling Wood - Artists and designers are repurposing old or discarded wood to create unique fashion and accessories, such as sawed-off log handbags and wooden belts with bark buckles, while reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry can capitalize on natural inspiration, recycled materials, and environmentally-friendly alternatives to attract eco-conscious consumers.
