Sustainability and Compliance Manager
Priya Raman
Priya is a chemist who moved into textile sustainability after seven years in materials testing. She owns fibre traceability, certification and the published supplier list at QuidBuys.
She is the reason the range avoids virgin synthetics outside technical outerwear, and the reason every wool claim in the catalogue can be traced to a certified clip.
What she writes about
Fibre provenance, certification schemes and what they actually cover, recycled content, and the gap between a sustainability claim and a sustainability fact.
Areas of expertise
Written by Priya Raman
-
Shrinkage, and why we pre-wash
Cotton moves. The only question is whether it moves in the factory or in your machine.
-
Recycled polyester: useful, not virtuous
It has a genuine place in technical outerwear and almost none in a t-shirt.
-
Linen creases. That is the point.
A linen shirt that does not crease has been treated with something you would rather not wear in July.
-
Merino, lambswool and the difference that matters
Both are wool. Only one of them is comfortable against bare skin, and the reason is measured in microns.
