How my mum taught me to live a clutter-free life
There’s a red tin box on my mother’s bedside table with threads in every colour; it’s for when there’s a slight tear in her blouse or sari, or for minor alterations. She doesn’t like to discard things easily; even when a piece of clothing is no longer wearable, she uses it as a kitchen rag and extends its lifespan by another month or two. I’d like to think that frugality is in her DNA. But it’s more than that. She’s from a generation that only had access to slow and sustainable fashion; it’s her default setting to gravitate to the most exquisite and beautiful handcrafted things, even when it means she may have to wait for them as opposed to buying the next thing that’s available.
