We avoid contributing to a model that produces more waste than plastics. We carefully select components that allow our products to be reused.
With more than 100 billion garments manufactured each year, more than 70 percent of which end up in landfills, fashion is one of the industries that generates the most waste worldwide, along with plastic. It is estimated that only 1 percent of this waste returns to the production chain. This enormous environmental impact has worsened in the last two decades, driven by fast fashion, affordable and affordable, yet with a huge footprint of inequality in its production and waste accumulation. As one of the countries that exports the most unused items in the entire European Union, in 2018 alone, Spain sent more than 59 tons of clothing to emerging markets.
In response to this phenomenon, the circular economy has emerged, and as part of it, the reuse of clothing. Repairing worn-out but still useful clothing, or modifying the design of a piece we’ve grown tired of, is both possible and necessary. That’s why we use durable materials and offer the option of transforming or repairing shoes and accessories as many times as necessary. Before buying a cheap item that will surely end up in the trash after a while, consider investing a little more in a product whose origin and materials are traceable and whose durability is guaranteed until you get bored of it. @libertad_avenue
