Sustainable Fashion
Clothes are more than just what you wear.
Discover practical ways to connect with your wardrobe, from understanding what your clothes are made of to learning how to care for them and make them last.
Wardrobe Care
Good wardrobe care helps clothes last longer, reduces waste and keeps pieces looking their best. These practical steps make it easier to care for what you already own.
Wash less frequently. Washing too often breaks down fibres. Spot clean when possible and use cold, gentle cycles when washing is needed.
Air dry garments. Hang or lay clothes flat to dry. This prevents shrinkage or stretching, saves energy and protects fabric quality.
Store clothes properly. Fold knitwear to avoid stretching. Hang structured garments. Keep your clothes away from too much sunlight or damp.
Repair and maintain. Mend small holes, replace loose buttons, and carefully use a fabric shaver to remove pilling.
Regular maintenance extends the life of each piece.
These steps reduce clothing turnover and help build a wardrobe that lasts beyond trends and seasons.
Sustainable Style
Sustainable style is about making the most of what you already own and choosing new pieces with purpose. It's not about perfection. Small, practical decisions can make your wardrobe more versatile, lower textile waste and keep your personal style at the centre.
​
Wear what you have. Restyle pieces in different ways to increase their use and avoid unnecessary purchases.
Build outfit formulas. Create combinations that work for your lifestyle. Repeating looks is not a failure of style, it's a strength.
Choose quality over quantity. When you buy new, focus on pieces that will last, work with what you already own and reflect your personal style.
Favour timeless over trend cycles. Investing in classic silhouettes and versatile colours gives your wardrobe more longevity.
Extend the life of every piece. Care, repair and rewear your clothing to reduce how often you need to replace it.
