In World 107 garments receive the respect they deserve. They are valued for their history, quality, and craftsmanship, and are used as currency. Fabric waste is reduced by maximizing their life. Clothes can be exchangeable for other pieces of clothing, or fabrics.
The clothing book you see here is a system in which stamps for the pieces exchanged and tokens can be found. Each garment is worth a certain amount of tokens to prevent a black market happening.

Does this World remind you of something?
I am keen to hear about any historical or contemporary real-world examples – whether individual practices, subcultures or mainstream activities – that this fiction brings to mind.
