How long have you been shopping sustainably & what led you to have an interest in sustainable fashion?
.
I went vegan over 2 years ago and as I learnt more about veganism , I also learnt about the world and how not only our food but lifestyle can impact the planet. I want to do everything I can to save our planet and live a clean lifestyle too. My sustainable fashion journey started about 6 months ago and I have never looked back!
.
Do you find it difficult to shop sustainably for fashion?
.
I found it difficult at first but as soon as I did my research and found sustainable brands it wasn’t difficult at all. I have really enjoyed switching over to sustainable fashion!
.
What are your top three fave sustainable fashion brands (can be big or small)?
.
I love @slowgarments, wear tala and of course Whale Of A Time Clothing!
.
Have you learnt anything along the way of transitioning to shopping sustainably that has shocked you about fast fashion?
.
Whilst transitioning to sustainable and learning about fast fashion I found out more and more on how people are exploited whilst making the clothing for cash fashion brands. I never truly knew how bad the conditions are. It made me want to fully go sustainable even more!
.
For anyone wanting to live and shop more sustainably, what’s the top tip you would give them to start?
.
My top tips are, rework your clothes you’ve got and create new pieces from them. Check out Depop and eBloggers to buy preloved clothes that you can give a second life to. I believe we can all do our part and do our best to not buy from fast fashion!
