Would you like to reduce your impact on the environment with your fashion choices?

We are now more aware that the clothes we choose to wear can have an impact on the planet, so to ensure your choice of garments help you to become more sustainable -

• Focus on quality over quantity.

• Look closely at the information on the garment's labels. 

• What type of fabric is the garment made from?

• Where was it made?

• How was it made?

• Wash care?

The average lifetime of a garment in the UK is estimated at just 2.2 years, fast fashion even less. An estimated 140 million pounds worth of clothing ends up in landfill each year. Keeping your clothes for longer can help to drastically reduce the emissions that occur during a piece of clothing's life cycle. Extending the active life of a piece of clothing by just 9months can significantly reduce its environmental impact. Emissions can be reduced by 24% over the year by doubling a garment's useful life from one to two years.
