The fashion industry is a major global player, impacting everything from natural resources to labor conditions. As consumers become more conscious, the industry’s environmental and social practices are under scrutiny. Sustainability matters because it affects ecosystems, communities, and our planet’s health.

The global fashion industry currently accounts for an estimated 3 to 8 percent of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions1. That’s a significant slice of the carbon pie! But here’s the twist: If no further action is taken, these emissions are expected to increase by about 30 percent by 2030. Imagine the Earth sighing under the weight of all those fabric dyes and shipping containers.

• Buy Less; Choose Well: Invest in timeless pieces that last. Fast fashion tempts us with cheap thrills, but those impulse buys often end up in landfills. Choose well-made items that withstand trends.

• Explore Secondhand and Vintage: Visit thrift stores or online platforms for pre-loved treasures. Vintage clothing has character and history.

• Care for your Clothing: Wash mindfully with cold water, gentle cycles and air-dry. Mend and alter small tears, loose buttons or hems. Get creative - add patches or embroidery!

• Support Ethical Brands: Research brands, look for transparency. Brands that share their supply chain practices and ethical standards are more likely to prioritize sustainability.

• Educate yourself and Others: Understand the impact of your choices. Read articles, watch documentaries, and follow sustainable fashion influencers. Understand the impact of your choices. Read articles, watch documentaries, and follow sustainable fashion influencers.

• Spread Awareness: Share what you learn with friends and family. Encourage conscious shopping habits.

We will be publishing blogs about sustainability initiatives, ethical brands and including donation links in the very near future.

Excessive Water Usage: The fashion industry consumes one-tenth of all industrial water for factories and product cleaning. For instance, it takes 10,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton or about 3,000 liters for a cotton shirt. Textile dyeing also uses toxic chemicals, contributing to approximately 20% of global wastewater.

Plastic Microfibers: Synthetic materials (like polyester) release plastic microfibers into oceans. These microfibers account for about 35% of all microplastics. They persist in the environment, harming marine ecosystems and entering the human food chain.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of global emissions, more than aviation and shipping combined.

Waste Generation: The fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of global emissions, more than aviation and shipping combined.

Fast Fashion: This industry generates immense waste, especially from synthetic fibers. These materials end up in landfills, exacerbating climatic changes.
