Worldwide, clothing utilization (how often we put something on) has decreased by 36% compared to 15 years ago. - source @ellenmacarthurfoundation . In this photo are some secondhand finds from @kleinerladen on #SHOPLOCALDAY2019 (unsolicited advertisement). A 100% cashmere sweater for 39€ and a floor long viscose dress or 18€. . Secondhand is not only more sustainable than newly produced items but also a good alternative when you’re on a budget. #doubleplus . On another note: If you have an item you love and want to share it’s story, @fairnica teamed up with @misssinterpreted and the Eine Welt Zentrum Herne to make a poster campaign which is about the story of our clothes, and are excited to see the stories of your favorite pieces. If you want to join the conversation the hashtags are #storyofyourdress and #wennkleiderreden - #followingthesehashtags . . . #sustainablefashionmatterz #kleinerladen #sustainablefashionblogger #bethechangeyouwanttoseeintheworld #sustainablefashion #shoplocal #fairfashionforward #consciousconsumer #fashion4change #secondhandfinds #fairfashionblog #kleinelädenandiemacht #conciousconsumer #ethicalfashionnetwork #byebyefastfashion #schöneberg #fashiondesignberlin #vintageberlin #shoppingberlin #fairfashionblogger #fairfashion #ethicalfashion #berlinshoppingguide #byebyefastfashion

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN . (unsolicited advertisement) . We don’t need to use our natural resources to create new things. There is so much over production leaving behind excess fabrics and materials which we can use to make something new. For the next two weeks the South Korean label @recode_ is hosting a pop-up at @thestoresdotcom where they are selling their limited collection of up-cycled pieces from dead stock materials. You can also make yourself your own unique keychain (like this) from industry discards. #getcreative . . . #sustainablefashionmatterz #everythingoldisnewagain #sustainablefashionblogger #recode_ #upcycling #letschangethatfashiongame #fashionrevolution #ethicalfashion #slowfashion #howtobesustainable #consciousconsumer #sustainabilityguid #fashionblogger_de #fairfashionblog #changemakers #globalgoals #fairfashionista #sustainablelifestyle #deadstock #sohohouse #sustainablefuture #fairfashionblogger #recyclefashion #ethicalwardrobe #recycling #everypersonmakesadifference
WIN 🎉 /advertisement @findeling_de 14.09.2019 - #SHOPLOCALDAY2019 powered by @izettle . It is estimated that in all of Germany there are only about 10,000 of those typical heart lead independent shops left. We are all for these kind of businesses and shopping locally from your neighbors rather than ordering off Amazon. To help these shops survive @findeling_de has mapped out about 2,000 of them, from which most sell fashion and gift items. #kleinelädenandiemacht . 🤓 Some FACTS about #Findeling: 69% of their shop owners are female. They just cracked a huge milestone by being used one million times! This means that hopefully since 2015 this many people have shopped locally instead of from Amazon. Besides "Made in Berlin", "Vegan" and "Fair" are now the most used filters when searching for local shops. 💛 . #WIN Join me on the 14.09.2019 #shoplocalday for a stroll through Schönebergs sustainable shops with @findelingberlin and receive 2 x €25 gift vouchers for local shops🤗! How to win? Tag a friend you would like to bring along and a surprise will await them as well. . 🤫 Extra points: say why you want this friend to join and your name will go in the raffle twice ;) . . . #sustainablefashionmatterz #sustainablefashionblogger #sustainablefashion #consciousconsumer #byebyefastfashion #sustainablelifestyle #sustainabilitycommunity #shoplocal #einkaufsvielfalt #großeliebefürkleineläden #berlin #berlinliebe #030 #lieblingsladen #schöneberg #berlinshopping#buylocal #supportyourlocalhero #liebezumladenbesuch #localshoppingguide
Team photo 💛 @lafashionfestival crew from our #WhoMadeMyClothes campaign. . Swipe to meet the Founding Director, @justinrmerino who asked some questions: . Why do you ask who made my clothes? "Why would you not? I want to know where my food comes from, how its harvested, are pesticides used - so I think its common sense that the threads we cover ourselves up with daily are asked the same: who made my clothes!" . Who do you want to ask who made my clothes? "I don't want to have to ask, similar to the vegan movement it would be wonderful to have a simple symbol on clothes that represented the garment was produced ethically and sustainability." . What brands are you wearing? "To be honest, I'm wearing clothes that are 5+ years old. I find a piece that I love and wear it till the end of its life. Ask anyone that knows me you'll find me most likely in one of a few black shirts I own or 3-4 short sleeve beach style button ups. My wardrobe is minimal and serves me quiet well. My vice if I have to admit would be shoes, which I wear Toms, Vans and any vegan brand I can come across." . What does fair fashion mean to you? "Fair is fair, its not brain science. Like all groups that have been marginalized in history we'll look back at the unfair labor treatments garment workers experience." . What does sustainable fashion mean to you? "I can think of about 10 things that come to mind but I believe in the consumer as the mover and shakers, so for me I'm hopeful consumers will push the industry to adopt sustainable practices and at the same time consumers will consume less." . What would you like to see more of in the fashion industry? "Transparency to start with but more so affordability. Sustainability shouldn’t be a luxury; It should be a way of life." . Why does sustainable/fair fashion matter to you? "We're living in precarious times, I'm convicted that we all have to do our part to both preserve all forms of life on this green earth as well leave a better future for the kids of today." . Stay tuned on @lafashionfestival to see the winners of this years LA Fashion film Festival which focused on the topic of sustainability 🌱🎞🏆 . ©️@sustainablefashionmatterz
