Hmm, maybe I should start making this a Sunday tradition istead of a Friday one? Or maybe I'll just try to get the next post ready on time for once ;).

Anyways, today on my radar is the French brand Sézanne. They explain on their site that they are not yet as sustainable as they'd whish to be, but at the same time, have a nice set of goals lined up for 2019. In any case, they're doing their to go in the right direction.

What are they already doing now in terms of fairness and sustainability? They regularly work with local French garment factories and preform regular inspections on their Chinese producers. 85% of the textiles used in their collection are made from natural fibers. All of their footwear is produced in Europe and 33% of their leather is vegetable tanned. Their clothes are made to last, design- as well al qualitywise. They keep their production volumes low so that no items remain unsold and twice year they release a collection made from their own leftover fabrics. And they make very pretty clothes ;). If you want to find out more about what they do and how they plan to improve, head on over here. If want to browse their collection, click here.

How to find your winning wardrobe teams

Today I wanna talk about winning wardrobe teams. You know, when people work well together and lift each other up, they make a great team. Well, the same goes for items of clothing. Some pieces just pair together so well, that you wanna wear them together over and over again. Why change a winning team, right?! Sure, experimenting with different ways to wear things can be fun, but when you're already running late and feeling like you don't have anything to wear it just feels so nice to have your winning teams to rely on. It saves you the time and trouble of styling an intire look and you also have the guarantee that you'll feel confident and comfortable all day.

By identifying my winning wardobe teams, I have become a proud outfit repeater, which is yet again another way to make your closet more sustainable. After all, loving what you have, wearing it a lot and making it last is such an important step towards reducing waste in the feshion industry.

Like the sound of it and wanna find out what your winner combos are?

Sustainable Shopping Guide: TwoThirds

You had to wait for it two days longer than planned, but here is another sustainable brand for you to  to love. I lost my heart to TwoThirds this week, another Spanish brand that uses natural and organic or recycled fibres only. Their fabrics are made in European midsized family businesses, mostly from Italy and Portugal, just like the clothes themselves.

To minimize deadstock at the end of a season, they handle a Pre-Order system, which allows them to estimate how many pieces they are going to sell from one product and produce accordingly.  This way of working creates far less waste materials and leads to a lower costs per produced garments, which means they can drop their prices. It's a win-win!

I love their easy-going surfer vibes for the guys, their use of washed colours and their great basics. I mean, how comfy and cute is that velvet pink and burgundy sweater?!

My update on our "zero single use plastic packaging goal" for January is long overdue, but here you have it! What were the greatest challenges? How did we overcome them? And what did we learn from it in hindsight? All this will be revealed!

Sustainable Shopping Guide: Underprotection

Time for another sustainble brand to love this Friday! This time I picked out Danish brand Underprotection as crush of the week. Why? Because they sell the cutest bralettes, because they work with eco-friendly fabrics only and because all their products are fairly made in a small factory in India. Undies made from milk fibre or recycled plastic bottles? They have it! Funky maternity bras in leopard print? Yes, siree! Super stylish loungewear with french boudoir allure? Check and ckeck! And cute accessories such as toilet bags and eye masks? You've got it! Or at least you will after passing by their webshop ;)
