The Sustainability Basics

Sustainability or greenwashing? Download the checklist to know more!

Sustainability is a vague concept, overused and confusing. When we are lucky, it’s an inspirational reference. But, in general, more than an effective change of paradigm that brands implement in their policy, it is a buzzword hiding a misleading intent. In other words, it’s greenwashing.

You happen to read about sustainable fashion, sustainable brands, and eco-conscious clothing and accessories. Indeed, sustainable labelled products are a good business. But brands label their products by claiming something that goes under zero control.

So, is there a lack of ethics? Or a lack of common sense? The discussion is open. And the business too.

Sustainability basics & how to promote a conscious shift

We understand that it is very difficult to say which garment or brand is sustainable and which is not. And it’s tricky even for those who work in the fashion industry. Imagine for a consumer!

So we thought of providing a list to help you develop critical behaviour towards your fashion purchases. Some points to help you become aware of the fashion industry’s practice and make better choices.

We made this checklist for you, and it’s free.

Less stuff, more meaning

Passing through the storm of the pandemic, we had the feeling that many brands had lost their grip, their meaning while a few others have been able to keep consistent work, somehow surviving the impact. Not because their message is new, but because, perhaps 30 years ago, they dared to propose a different viewpoint. By the way, that is the power of innovation, not everyone gets the message immediately. It takes a while, even decades.

So many garments now seem to be part of an old world and aren’t appropriate anymore. Some others carried on their codes, values, as they are still modern, versatile and never out-of-place.
In order to adapt to a new environment and to find a meaningful way to pursue our passion for design and fashion, we have to pay attention to select the right pieces.

The new aesthetic develops around deeper concepts: timeless and comfortable silhouettes, soft textures, materials you love to feel on your skin. Fewer pieces, higher quality is what identifies a modern wardrobe.
