Ethical Choices

From fashion to lifestyle: do you take them into account?


“Ethical choices shouldn’t be left to us! Ethics shouldn’t fall on us!” Remarked a friend when he felt obliged to purchase products at a low price to stay within the family budget. We know that if the price is too low, someone pays. Usually, the cost falls on people and the planet: see modern-day slavery, pollution and climate change.

The low-price pattern applies not only to the fashion system but to any industry. When we look at ourselves in the mirror, we want to feel good about our choices and their impact on the world. Of course, it’s unfair to put the burden of ethical choices solely on consumers.

However, brands, corporations, and governments ignore the matter. Well, they say they care, and talk about ethical fashion. Also, they support workers. But they do not do the one thing that would allow people a decent lifestyle: paying proper wages. Why? Because enslaving people through the manufacturing chains maximizes profits, which is the only thing that counts for them.

On the hunt for low prices


So, forget ethics for brands and corporations. The ethical choice is up to the end consumers. We can divide them into two groups:
The biggest group are workers who struggle to make ends meet. Although some care about ethics, they cannot afford better choices. So they feel forced to purchase products coming from unfair conditions.
In a smaller group, we find rich people who are happy to close their eyes in the face of ethics, modern-day slavery or climate change. Actually, they don’t care! Exploiting people is okay with their worldview as long as they can keep purchasing cheap products.
What’s your counterargument? Are ethical products too expensive? People from the second group label products of a certain cost as unethical. We’ve heard this plenty of times! But they consider okay cheap stuff made by slaves. Weird reasoning! Isn’t it?

Solutions to ethical choices


Solutions such as government regulations and corporate social responsibility are essential. In fact, the burden of ethical choices must shift from consumers to governments and corporations. They must hold themselves accountable as they are in charge of the economy.

Downward price logic is the expression of a rotten society which exploits people and the planet. But in this race to the bottom, how many slaves does the economy need in the future? And do they have a planet B?

Artisanal fashion #formodernhumans


Today, we introduce The Robe 4 Coutures by Marc Le Bihan – made in France. 

Marc Le Bihan delivers a poetic vision of fashion, portrayed with unique silhouettes, asymmetries, and raw hemlines. In his atelier in Paris, clothes are impeccably assembled through an artisanal process, that meticulous high-end handwork known as couture. Indeed, the best words come from Marc Le Bihan himself: “Pieces are made in casa, a la maison, in our atelier.”

Far from trends, his quiet luxury clothes pass through time, giving us a timeless aesthetic par excellence. Specifically, a vision of style that teaches us to build a wardrobe of meaningful pieces over time.

Discover The Robe 4 Coutures


About the design
It is a mid-length dress featuring an asymmetric silhouette and hemline. Indeed, the shape results from four stitchings, skillfully made by hand, running throughout the garment. Draping collar. Also, extra-long sleeves with a side hole that gives a glove-like fit. Certainly, Marc Le Bihan’s imprint is recognizable. Indeed, the dreamy, dark, avant-garde design makes it a timeless and versatile piece.

Fashion, Connection and Micro Communities

How a niche fashion selection ties in with change


Fashion, connection and micro communities have something in common. Indeed, given our disaffection with social media, we promote opportunities to connect in smaller groups. That is to discuss fashion and lifestyle in the face of climate change.

Our new approach to fashion


The starting point is our capsule selection of independent international brands and Japanese fashion. So, we begin picking out meaningful garments featuring a good design imprint and a timeless aesthetic. Clothes you won’t find everywhere.
Specifically, we assemble a fashion capsule selection intentionally limited. Do you know why?
It’s the only way we can offer uniqueness and a sustainable approach. Indeed, brands keep talking about how good they are with their sustainable practices. But, still, overproduction is their business pattern. Therefore, they flood the market with large quantities of clothes. Of course, that model isn’t sustainable at all! However, fashion greenwashing works pretty well.

From climate change to a new vision of fashion


We refuse the status quo. The climate emergency is tangible, and this topic is the heart of our radically different approach to fashion. So we send back to brands their overproduction pattern and try to conduct business our way.

In other words, the climate emergency led us to see fashion with different eyes. Through our capsule selection, we communicate our new attitude towards clothing and life. And we wish to engage with people who are on the same path. Or, at least, curious to know more about what’s going on and, most importantly, how we can reduce our impact on the planet with our daily actions.

Connection and micro communities


But that kind of deeper connection hardly grows on social media. That’s why we favour interaction in smaller communities, whether in person or online. Though we show our selection on the web, we take care of all the buying, styling and blogging processes. We interact personally with anyone who gets in touch with us.

So, fashion, connection and micro communities tie in with the change. Connections are real. And, over time, they get deeper by developing trust and respect. Local or not, the quality of interactions and the garments selected make the difference! Above all, our loyal customers aren’t just customers. They support a different vision of the world.

Tired Of Social Media?

In search of healthier connections


Are you tired of social media? Do you find yourself frustrated with the rampant poor communication, tricks, and manipulation? You are not alone. Join the growing number of people becoming increasingly weary of social media.

Social media status


The Twitter Muskification is a disaster. Even Meta asks for a monthly fee: the offer is either a paid account to avoid advertising or a free account. If you choose the free option, Meta informs you that they will use your data for targeting. Well, targeting and data exploitation was their usual practice. They just said it openly! Then, another suggestion says: get a verification badge so your followers will know it’s really you! Perhaps those who need to feel important will be happy with it.

Among the large numbers of people who still share the recurring hoax on their account: “I do not give Facebook permission to bla bla bla…” – which makes you question human intelligence, one positive element emerged after these updates. Finally, users started opening their eyes. “Did you receive the message? Are you okay with it?”

Hey people, welcome! Yes, we received the message. And, no, we’re not okay with it! We won’t pay! Actually, we are so disappointed that we are searching for alternative opportunities to connect.

But it seems we are not alone. In fact, according to Wired, millennials (aged between 27 and 42), the first-gen social media users, are tired of being constantly connected.
Read the full article here.

“Twitter is bad (sorry, I will never refer to it as X). Instagram is overrun with ads and influencers hawking face creams and fitness tips. TikTok, what originally felt like a glossier alternative to YouTube, increasingly resembles an outlet mall full of “dupes” prizing hype over lasting influence.”

Don’t you agree?

Niche fashion & social media


Social media isn’t any more an opportunity to stay connected. That is gone. Misinformation, aggressive language, duck faces, boobs, a race to show the best bag, shoes or travels! It’s all about hate speech and toxic engagement.

And we, as tiny niche fashion online retailer for a small group of free thinkers and connoisseurs unsatisfied by mainstream fashion or fake sustainable clothes, should be happy with just showing outfits in order to sell. But that’s not us.
We aren’t on Instagram solely for marketing purposes. Our goal is to spread awareness, share knowledge and exchange thoughts. Indeed, we enjoy interacting with thoughtful individuals.

Being eternally connected, informed on any trend and absorbed in a time-consuming activity leads nowhere. In fact, people are overwhelmed and exhausted by the constant stream of information and the pressure to keep up with it all.

But, by taking a step back, we can regain control of our lives and focus on what truly matters.

Genuine connections in smaller groups


However, we believe that connecting in smaller groups can be healthier. Whether the interactions happen in person or online, smaller groups sharing respectful content develop a real sense of community.

What’s your viewpoint on this?
