Did you know?
The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world. It is responsible for 20% of all waste water production and 10% of all carbon emissions.
Here’s how you can do your part:
Rethink
Thinking of buying something new? Always go for quality over quantity. Invest in items that are made to last a long time. Support sustainable fashion brands.
Reduce
Go for items that can be worn for many different occasions, and this will bring down your total cost per wear. Maintain your clothes well and consider repairing them so that they last longer.
Reuse
Instead of buying, ever considered renting? You can still have variety in your wardrobe with rentals, pre-loved items and swap parties.
Recycle
As a consumer, you have power in your purchasing decisions. Make the conscious choice and go for products made from recycled or upcycled materials.
