Fast fashion comprises of a long and untraceable supply chain. The obsession with producing enormous volumes of clothing all year round and shipping it to various countries for different stages of production means that the industry’s carbon footprint is disastrous. The greed for mass production is destroying the planet. Fashion subsidizes nearly 8% of carbon emissions.

Artificial materials, like polyester, acrylic, and nylon, are made from crude oil, a fossil fuel that pollutes the oceans, causes oil spills, and releases toxic greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Therefore, our business models are planned to create products with longevity and quality, keeping in view the true value of materials, which should be mindfully designed, redesigned and recuperated as a valuable resource.
