đ 1. Wear What You Have First
Before buying new, ask:
-
Can I restyle this piece differently?
-
Can I repair it instead of replacing it?
-
Can I swap it with a friend?
đ§” Pro Tip: Get familiar with basic fixesâsewing on a button or stitching a small hole can add years to a garmentâs life.

Strong stitching and durable fabrics

Transparent supply chains

Certifications like OEKO-TEX, GOTS, or biodegradable labels (like ours đ)
