Vintage means something classic and timeless that increases in value over time.
We work to ensure our clothes have the least environmental impact while creating the most social benefits. However, after purchasing our clothes, this responsibility is also in your hands. Even though our clothes are designed and made to last, there is a big impact of clothes during the use phase.
Only in Europe, the European Environment Agency (EEA) estimates the use phase (washing, drying and ironing) accounts for 14 % of the overall climate change impact of textiles.
The good news is that, according to a study from the Joint Research Centre from the European Commission, one of the most efficient ways to reduce the environmental impact of clothes is for consumers to make small behavioural changes during laundry time. Here are some tips you can follow, so that you can wear your favourite pieces for years:
