Go for a more sustainable wardrobe in your own style!
Come to Refresh Your Identity and get inspired to create a unique, eco-friendly wardrobe. It’s not just about buying fewer clothes, but about making conscious choices. For example, think about investing in quality pieces that last longer, swapping or repairing clothes, and choosing more sustainable materials.
Fast fashion has a huge impact on both the environment and working conditions. Many clothing items are only worn briefly and then end up in the landfill. How can it be different? At Refresh Your Identity, you’ll get practical tips and can start immediately to make your wardrobe more sustainable.
