Slow Fashion: Why Should You Buy Less and Better?
In recent years, the concept of slow fashion has been gaining in popularity as a response to mass production. Unlike fast fashion, which is characterized by the quick and cheap production of disposable items, slow fashion values quality, longevity and sustainability. At J-UNK, we embrace this philosophy by creating shoes made to last and with a reduced environmental impact.
But why should you opt for slow-fashion?
- Environmental conservation: The use of recycled materials reduces the amount of residues. This practice, reduces unnecessary waste and the need to use new raw materials.
- Ethical production: Slow fashion advocates better working conditions by supporting local communities and promoting fair wages, so every time you buy a pair of shoes, you know that no one was exploited to produce them.
-
Timeless style: Have you ever bought a piece of clothing and, after a while, felt that it no longer suited you because it had “gone out of fashion”?
One of the pillars of slow fashion is timeless style, in other words, the design and aesthetics of the models are not dependent on fashions and trends.
-
Conscious consumption: Instead of shoes that are worn out after just a few uses, the aim is to create footwear that can be worn for years, saving resources and your wallet.
Choosing slow fashion is synonymous with making informed choices and supporting brands that care about the future of the planet. When you choose J-UNK footwear, you’re choosing products that reflect environmentally responsible and ethical values, promoting a healthier and more controlled consumption cycle.
