Shop The Look:
In this day in age there is so much talk about fast-fashion brands versus sustainable/ethical design. For short, fast-fashion refers to products made very quickly often sacrificing the quality of product, safe working conditions and ethical practices. Sustainable design “seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment… The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments”, according to GSA‘s definition. Many people are not aware of the effects that fast-fashion companies have on the environment, quality, and most importantly human rights.
It’s easy to get caught up in the flash sales, trendy designs and catchy prices that so many of these fast-fashion companies offer. Unfortunately, I’m not the exception. However, I do stay informed and that is the first step to making a difference. It’s important to talk about the issues at hand, and raise awareness about what’s going on in the fashion industry behind the scenes.
For starters I want to talk about a brand that does care about high quality over fast-fashion, and that is Cocovann. Cocovann focuses on the quality and workmanship of their handbags, so you know you are getting a durable carefully designed bag. I love the elegant simplicity of the designs perfect for “balancing the responsibilities of work and life” – Cocovann. If you are looking for a stylish handbag that values high quality you have to check out Cocovann, and now you can get 40% off their AW16 Collection using code: THELUNARPHSE at checkout. Do yourself a favor and buy something that will make you feel good about it!
