Summary
In the early 1970s, a Swedish engineer named Håkan Lans invented a tool for facilitating personal computer workflow.

And I think it's about to happen here, too, with organic clothes. You can sense it, it's in the media, and customers request it.

"It hasn't quite arrived in the U.S. yet, but I think it's on its way."See the full content of this document
