We know what you are thinking:
Buying sustainable fashion isn’t easy. It’s a new trend and customers feel a bit lost when it comes to looking for greener alternatives.
But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are three easy steps to make sustainable shopping easier and cleverer so that the next time you are going for your seasonal shopping spree, you keep in mind that it is possible to buy in a more efficient, greener way. Buy now, thank us later!
Buy vintage or second hand: by buying used items you save all the pollution and residual waste generated by the manufacturing phase. Did you know that 23 kg of greenhouse gases are generated for each kg of fabric produced? Or that 200.000 tons of dyes are lost to effluents every year?

By supporting local brands you help not only to develop your country’s economy but also to save tons of emissions produced by the transportation of garments from factories to stores. By opting for recycled or upcycled items, you contribute to skip the need of using new materials to produce new clothes. Did you know that more than 15 million tons of used textile waste is generated each year in the United States, and that this amount has doubled over the last 20 years? re/done , reformation , weekday row sky , veja , e.l.v denim , dl1961 , recreate , Madia & Matilda , Reet Aus , Fade Out Label , zero waste daniel , Whimsy and row , We Are Nativ , Christy Dawn
Rent & share: this is our favorite option. By renting your clothes not only you contribute to improve the environment, but you also earn money for it! And you know what else? You can wear every day a different outfit for much less! What’s not to love about it?
