TODAY’S FASHION BECOMES RESOURCES FOR TOMORROW
High-quality clothes from used materials made to last
In the fashion industry we see many contradictions. We prefer to buy a new item of clothing for every occasion. For example, because we feel social pressure or because a new item gives us confidence. The purchase of a garment is easily done with a click of a button. This results in overflowing wardrobes and large amounts of discarded clothing. At the same time, we are aware of this behavior’s negative impact on the environment and social conditions, such as child labor. Pretty crazy right? We thought so. So instead of complaining, we decided we don’t have to move mountains to make a difference. Sometimes the solution is so easy; it only needs your outrageous amounts of love.
