ENVIRONMENTALISM

First and foremost, our top priority / mission is to do all that we can to help slow the rapid acceleration of textile waste that our planet produces. We hope to empower people with knowledge, and to help motivate others to change the way in which they think about their consumption of clothing. Just like the plastic that pollutes our oceans, many very popular fabrics and fibers used in clothing manufacturing take decades, sometimes even centuries, to decompose. A polyester garment can take anywhere from 20 to 200 years to decompose. These synthetic fibers sit on our earths surface for years and years, bleeding synthetic chemicals and dyes into our wildlife’s food and soil supply. During these long decomposition processes, textiles often generate greenhouse methane gases, which can even pollute the air that we breathe. America has an addiction to fast fashion. The things that get left behind at the thrift, end up getting shipped off to African countries, where they inevitably become waste in their lakes, rivers, and communities. We are shoving our clothes into our neighbors closet, but just because we cannot see it, does not mean it is not there. We do not have unlimited space here, on planet Earth. Join us on our mission to change the fashion retail world, ethically, ecologically, and fashionably.
