Take a look at your wardrobe. What you see? Today we will check what is worth knowing to choose responsible purchasing.
The multitude of clothes and accessories we have access to means that we do not know what is we really need . This is one of the reasons why we buy irresponsibly. When we will get to know ourselves, our preferences, but also the likes of our body, it will definitely be it’s easier to buy wisely. Currently, large clothing chains offer countless products, which will appear in our wardrobes more and more often. But do we need it?
We have not associated fashion with utility for a long time, but we are supporters responsible fashion that benefits, not destruction. That’s why we created for you a list of 5 reasons why you should choose a responsible fashion.
1. Fashion and the planet
Everything with her, nothing without her. So why, not consider the planet when making purchasing decision? Unfortunately the sad truth is that big clothing chains are largely responsible for CO2 emissions and chemicals and they are destroying our planet. This is mainly due to the reduction of production costs and the use of artificial materials materials instead of natural ones. What is worth mentioning is the fact that customer awareness is raising and it makes big brands try to produce more responsibly (minimizing the use of chemicals, reducing waste, using less water). On how much is it possible with such an effort? If you care about the environment in which you live, it is worth considering each purchase and asking yourself if what I buy is something I really need and Am going to use it for years ?
2. Do not close your eyes to the suffering of others
Many reports show the truth. This truth is the conditions under which people work in production of clothes for large clothing chains. No one is surprised that the clothes are made in Bangladesh, but few people wonder what is really behind the beautiful Visual merchandised in the centers of large cities. Hard work in conditions that threaten life and health employees. Payouts that do not give you the opportunity to live on even a basic level. We do not want to take responsibility for modern slavery, right?
3. Take care of your health
You may not know it, but the clothes that will go to your wardrobe straight from the chain store have already been in lots of places. It has been in contact with countless chemicals, and when wearing it you must remember that your skin absorbs and reacts to everything that comes in contact with it. However, if you decide to buy clothes in a large chain store, be sure to wash the product before wearing it on the body!
5. Quality means savings
Responsible fashion is the one that uses natural, high-quality materials, but also the one that uses resources produced earlier. If you have a choice beetween a white t-shirt that will completely meet your expectations and will be in perfect shape and quality for years, and one that you will wear several times and it will fade and holes will appear in it, which one would you choose? It seems to us that the answer is simple.
6. Not as expensive as you think
Responsible fashion doesn’t have to mean expensive fashion. Vintage or local concept stores, at first glance, may turn out to be more expensive than chain stores. but if we will take into account the quality of these products and have lon you own to use it , then we will quickly understand that more it pays off to buy one decent thing than the 10 that will end up in the trash in a moment.
We know very well that taking responsibility is not easy, but it can often make us better people! So let’s buy more consciously, let’s give a second life to forgotten things, we do not contribute to misguided production.
