Everyone in the fashion supply chain is responsible for its impact on the planet, from designers and manufacturers to retailers and consumers. The Care Label Project, launched by AEG, is a global initiative connecting these players and encouraging them to execute positive changes towards an ethical fashion industry.

Its primary focus is on breaking non-sustainable garment care habits, but as part of its mission, it’s has partnered with Fashion Revolution to examine a garment’s entire lifecycle—from design to aftercare—and understand where key parties can make improvements.

Fashion Revolution Week marks the anniversary of the tragic Rana Plaza factory collapse on April 24, 2013. The incident killed over 1,000 people and injured thousands more at a garment factory in Bangladesh. Fashion Revolution challenges people to demand greater transparency in the fashion industry and to question where clothing comes from. Its manifesto is clear cut: “We want to unite the fashion industry and ignite a revolution to radically change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased so that what the world wears has been made in a safe, clean and fair way.”

But as the Care Label Project rightfully highlights, we as consumers have a big role to play after purchasing clothes too; according to WRAP the way clothing is cared for contributes 25% of its carbon footprint. As well as saving energy and water, better aftercare could extend the life of garments, decrease the demand for new clothing and reduce non-sustainable production rates. So how can you make your clothing last longer and become a more ethical consumer of fashion?

With the Care Label Project and Fashion Revolution’s help, we’ve formulated four foolproof tips to help you on your way to building a more ethical and sustainable wardrobe: investing in quality clothing, rethinking care habits, utilizing modern washing technology, and restoring, reusing and recycling old clothes.

That time of year is coming – when the sun comes out a little earlier, the weather gets a little warmer and our closets ache for something fresh. However, turns out our closets don’t quite have the room for new clothes! The solution – spring cleaning sustainably.

To avoid falling into the dark hole of fast fashion, here are some ideas:

1.       Do a swapping party: Get a killer playlist, some good wine and appetizers, and invite a couple friends over. Ask your guests to bring any unwanted wearable clothes they have, in order to share and trade fashions!

2.       Donate: Go through your closet with a mindset of “will I actually ever wear this again?” and if there answer is no – donate any wearable garments to those in need!

3.       Consider reorganizing: If you have no room, perhaps the solution is to create it. Consolidate and use space saving organizers, to build yourself a closet made for Sex in the City worthy scenes!

4.       Sell: It’s as easy as downloading an application and uploading a picture of your unwanted clothing – make some extra money and save some space in your closet!

There is no harm in freshening up and mixing up your styles as the weather changes – as long as it’s done responsibly. Have fun fashionistas!

[Article Round Up] The ethical fashion revolution: moving beyond judgement to informed choices

Written by Lisa Heinze for the Guardian:

“It’s not uncommon for fashion shoppers to be labelled as lazy and judgemental, particularly when it comes to ethical fashion choices. A study recently published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology gained much media attention with headlines that lashed many shoppers’ attitudes as ‘ugly’ and ‘wilfully ignorant’, and exclaimed how most shoppers consider ethical shoppers to be ‘boring and unfashionable’.

While this all makes for good headlines, these stories tend to reinforce the divide between ‘ethical’ and ‘non-ethical’ consumers. This separation of consumers is not constructive, nor does it accurately reflect the complexity of the ethical fashion landscape. Today consumers are asked to make fashion decisions about issues of labour, sustainable materials, frequency of fashion seasons and clothing recyclability, among others. Under these circumstances, the definition of what makes an ‘ethical’ consumer becomes blurred and casting judgement on the ‘ordinary’ shopping public appears misplaced.

What did the research actually say? How can we move past the sensational headlines towards encouraging ethical fashion choices?

The study, led by Ohio State University consumer psychologist Daniel Zane, builds on earlier research that found shoppers prefer to be wilfully ignorant about purchases—people will use information about labour practices or environmental impact if it is provided, but if not they won’t actively seek out this information before making a purchase.

The new research found that wilfully ignorant consumers also negatively judge those who do seek out ethical products, describing them as ‘boring’, ‘odd’ and ‘unfashionable’.

The behaviour is attributed to social comparison theory, which explains that the consumer is acting in self-defence so as not to view themselves as inferior to ethical consumers. It’s not that they don’t care about ethical issues, but when they are reminded that they have not acted in accordance with these values while others have, they feel bad about themselves and lash out at those who made them feel that way.

Given that the average reader spends less than 15 seconds reading an online article (and that’s if they even bother to read it before sharing it online), the above mentioned headlines could be doing more harm than good. Readers may interpret these headlines as additional negative representations of their unethical consumer behaviour, leading to more of the ‘lashing out’ documented in the study. Furthermore, the headlines perpetuate the outdated assumption that ethical or sustainable fashion is unattractive or boring.

There is still much to be understood about ethical consumption, particularly in relation to fashion. It’s fairly well documented that guilt- and fear-based messages aren’t effective in getting people to change their behaviour. And despite what the new research suggests in regard to consumers’ desire for ethical information, it’s also the case that extra information does not always lead to action.

What needs to be better understood are the other factors that impact purchase decisions, including availability, price, identity, time, lifestyle and brand loyalty. When considering fashion in particular, a number of specific considerations come into play.

Guilt does not sell fashion—desire does. Education and awareness of fashion’s ethical issues need to be paired with an acknowledgement that clothing purchases are connected to pleasure and individual self-expression. This approach is likely to be more successful than messages based on guilt or denigration.

In addition, cost remains a primary concern for fashion purchases. Though the higher cost of many ethical fashion brands may be justified—because they are paying a living wage to garment workers or sourcing sustainable materials—consumers may not immediately understand the price premium, particularly as clothing prices have plummeted with the rise of fast fashion brands in Australia.

Fashion is also a social activity—purchases are made with an awareness of ‘fitting in’ by wearing attire appropriate for the situation and to coincide with one’s social group. By enhancing the distinction between ‘ethical’ and ‘non-ethical’, consumers not only have to consider their own personal image but also how these distinctions align with their social group.

Importantly, consumers aren’t shopping in a vacuum. They can only buy what is available from the fashion industry, distributed by retailers, and made affordable by appropriate trade agreements. The fashion industry is extremely complex with multiple layers of suppliers, contractors and subcontractors, and worryingly frail levels of transparency and traceability along the supply chain. To focus solely on consumers making ‘ethical’ fashion choices places an unfair level of responsibility on shoppers and detracts from understanding how the industry became so unethical in the first place.

The good news is continuous growth in the sustainable fashion market, which helps to overcome the stigma that ethically sourced clothes are ugly or too expensive. The many small start-up labels are increasingly being joined by larger fashion houses and department stores, which also help consumers overcome issues of availability of ethical fashion. Though the stereotypes exist, a fashion revolution is already underway.”

With Canadian Thanksgiving passing by us last weekend, we had a chance to sit back, pause and reflect on all the things we are thankful for. It shouldn’t be that only one time a year, we feel the need to be thankful, this feeling should be year round. However, we might as well list them out:

  1. We are thankful for our family, our friends and our team.
  2. We are thankful for having a mission and for being able to support talented artisans around the world.
  3. We are thankful for having a keen sense of style and the desire to share our artistic vision with the world.
  4. We are thankful for great closets and great fashion to come.

So remember all the things you are thankful for and think of those who have less than you, and help them find reasons to be thankful too.

Earthday15As a throwback this Thursday and in honour of earth day which is about a month away, we thought we would dig up this old post to share some thoughts on how you can make Earth day, everyday:

“As we celebrate the upcoming Earth Day, we thought it would be great to look at interesting movement in the environmental space.

Today we thought we would draw up a list of excellent ways to celebrate Earth Day. Here goes:

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Perhaps it’s time for some spring cleaning. Go through you old clothes, accessories, and athletic products and consider how you can recycle or reuse products you haven’t used in a while.

Shop Smart: Use reusable bags at grocery stores, shop local, shop ethical, avoid products with packaging that isn’t eco-friendly and shop smart.

Find Green ways to entertain yourself: Instead of going on an energy-sucking treadmill, go for a run outside. Instead of using the gas-guzzling car to go out, consider walking or using public transportation. Make the most of the good weather by doing things green.

Dress in Ethical Clothes and Accessories: Consider the clothes you wear and how they impact the lives of the artisans that produce them and the environment. Buy products made of recycled materials, sustainable fabrics, sustainable production processes and in fair trade conditions. Check out our lines of ethical products at http://shopanthropic.com.”

Reposted from The Guardian:

“Imagine the jumper you’re wearing now had skeletons in its closet. Imagine it was once a completely different piece of clothing in a previous life. That’s the idea behind eradicating waste in fashion.

Fashion is now affordable to millions of consumers, but the low-cost, high volume business model that allows this also encourages a culture of disposal, with an estimated 350,000 tonnes of clothing sent to landfill each year in the UK alone. 

With cotton prices fluctuating and agricultural land for food running out, the fashion industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its waste and become less dependent on virgin resources. Recycling textiles is one way of addressing both.

This isn’t something fashion brands have only just cottoned onto. Giorgio Armani launched its first eco project in 1995 with the development of a process to recycle denim. But in the 20 years since, interest has increased, with big brands like M&S, H&M and Patagonia running collection and recycling programmes for unwanted clothes.

Fashion brands alone, however, can’t drive waste out of the industry. While there is huge untapped potential in recycling textiles, technical challenges remain, in particular around separating the various fibres blended into one piece of clothing. To build the materials, technology and infrastructure that will enable a more sustainable fashion industry require industry wide collaboration.”

The big questions is: How do we practically achieve this?

A recycled bullet pendant and recycled bombshell cuff designed by the artisans of Cambodia, in partnership with local cooperatives, and Shopanthropic

TORONTO, Canada — The old adage that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” could be a cornerstone of the sustainable fashion movement. The idea that there are alternatives to throwing things out once we have used them is revolutionary in the face of our fast fashion culture, which encourages low prices, large quantities and unethical production practices. Yet ideas such as recycling and upcycling are encouraging people to find new ways to use old things, embrace quality craftsmanship and lead fashion trends.

What if we were to take seemingly useless items, things we throw away or deem as insignificant, and turn them into something wearable? That is exactly what a group of artisans have done in Cambodia, as they produce jewellery made of bombshell remnants, old bullet casings and other recycled materials, proving that battle scars can be beautiful too.

The Faces Behind the Product

From 1967 to 1975, the people of Cambodia suffered through an horrific civil war and genocide that left the country broken, haunted by memories of the not-so-distant past and littered with unfortunate relics of war.

Shopanthropic

The process of smoldering the bombshell metal to turn into into a beautiful cuff. This work is now completed in safer working conditions and for fair wages.

These littered items have now become hope for a group of artisans, who, with professional training, production and marketing support plus other assistance, are handcrafting jewellery and accessories to bring them to the global market.

The stories these artisans have to share are as inspiring as their creations. One example is that of a 32-year-old man who was left orphaned by the civil war at the age of 8. Through an orphanage centre, he learned the art of jewellery-making and received the opportunity to continue his education. Now, he is part of a team of eight other jewellery artisans, who are making bombshell and bullet jewellery with the three-decade-old recycled war remains.

Another example is that of a 34-year-old single mother in rural Cambodia. After having survived the civil war, she found herself as the victim of an acid attack which, in 1999, was a common form of violence in Cambodia at the time. Her disability caused her marriage to fall apart, leaving her with the sole responsibility of a daughter and elderly mother. As she faced severe financial hardship, she found that her knitting skills could be used to generate a form of income. With the support of a regional cooperative, she has developed her skills further and now produces bags, cushion covers and bracelets. Through this work, she has not only combated poverty and the lack of opportunities for her daughter, but has also gained a sense of dignity while facing the stigma of being blind.

Hope for the Future

Through collaboration between designers such as Shopanthropic, which features a collection of Cambodian-made jewellery from bullet casings and other recycled materials, and cooperatives, these producers finally have access to:

  • Regular work
  • Fair wages
  • Education for their children
  • Local and global markets
  • Future stability for themselves, their families and communities.

Perhaps the most exciting part of their stories are the end results they produce – quality, hand-made, sustainable and ethically-conscious pieces that are allowing a country to heal from a tumultuous past.

From Trash to Treasure

Any fashionista will agree that there is no better therapy than retail therapy. Yet with beautiful pieces, such as the Recycled Bullet Pendant, part of Shopanthropic’s Bombshell collection, the therapy goes both ways. The jewellery-making being done by these artisans is allowing them to earn a meaningful livelihood, gain a sense of independence, produce fashion that does not harm the environment, and help a country heal from a tragic past. So next time you are eager for a special new accessory to complement your latest look, consider how you can turn trash into treasure or a bullet into something beautiful.

Recently, we have been meeting a lot of people that are interested in ethical fashion but don’t know how to get into. You can’t just walk into your neighbourhood mall and expect scores of ethical fashion options. Nor can you expect a lot of governmental support in most countries, when it comes to sustainable and ethical fashion.

So how does one embrace ethical fashion? Here are our practical tips:

1)      Google it: Search up ethical fashion brands and brand directories. While it might be difficult to find these stores in your local mall, they are many brands popping up online. Our entire collection is available and online with a variety of shipping options.

2)      Meet up: Find local events and attend meet ups to learn more about what’s happening locally and internationally in the ethical fashion space, you might even find new products to look at and new

3)      Think big: Consider how you and your voice can encourage governments and business associations to improve support for social enterprises, particularly in the retail space

4)      DIY: Consider how you can upcycle (converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value) or recycle things you have lying around to create new, unique fashions

So think big, get networking, do a bit of research and have a bit of fun and see how you can revolutionize your wardrobe with fast fashion.
