The Woman Who Grows Her Own Kombucha Clothes
By TED, Natural Blaze
Designer Suzanne Lee shares her experiments in growing a kombucha-based material that can be used like fabric or vegetable leather to make clothing. Kombucha is a probiotic, fermented drink made from black tea and sugar. Kombucha is good for parasites and all sorts of other things. Lee is working with theese microbes to quite literally grow clothing.
