Beachwear originals: Could seaweed clothing be the new fashion craze?

STV

A Scottish designer is helping to battle against skin conditions by making clothing out of seaweed.

Anna Skea, who runs the Ginger knitwear workshop in Morar, near Mallaig, mixes the stringy green weed with wood pulp to make fabric.

Seaweed has natural anti-inflammatory qualities that help to battle skin conditions including psoriasis and eczema.

Ms Skea said: "I used to suffer from psoriasis myself, so I know what it's like.

"It's great to think the clothes I'm making could alleviate people's suffering."
