What is Slow Fashion?
Slow fashion emphasises a more mindful and sustainable approach to clothing consumption. At its core, slow fashion prioritises quality over quantity, craftsmanship over mass production, and timeless design over fleeting trends. By investing in well-made, durable pieces, consumers can create a wardrobe that transcends seasons and fleeting fads.

Key Indicators of Slow Fashion
-
High-Quality Materials
Slow fashion garments are typically made from high-quality materials that are durable and long-lasting. Look for natural fabrics like organic cotton, linen, or wool, as these not only feel great against the skin but also have a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic materials.
-
Ethical Production
Slow fashion brands prioritise fair and ethical production practices. Look for certifications such as Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC) to ensure that the garment was made ethically, with fair wages and safe working conditions for the workers.
-
Timeless Design
Slow fashion pieces are designed with longevity in mind. They are not influenced by fleeting trends but instead focus on timeless styles that can be worn for years to come. Look for classic silhouettes and neutral colours that can easily be mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe.
-
Attention to Detail
Slow fashion brands pay attention to the finer details of their garments, from the stitching to the buttons. Look for well-crafted pieces that show signs of meticulous craftsmanship, indicating a garment that is built to last.
-
Transparency
Slow fashion brands are transparent about their production processes and supply chains. Look for brands that openly communicate where their materials come from and how their garments are made, ensuring that you are making an informed and ethical purchase.
