Start with what you wear every day: support brands that choose
innovative, eco-certified and recyclable materials, such as
Melissa, which uses recycled PVC for its strictly vegan footwear,
Nanushka, which uses only vegan leather, or
Soulland, which uses OekoTex-certified polyester.
Natural fibres can also be used in a conscious way. Vitelli has created the Doomboh fabric, made from yarn waste from knitting mills in the Veneto region and then needle-punched together, while Artknit has decided to select and use only natural fibres with high renewable potential.
As well as being responsible, the practice of upcycling, at the heart of Overlord, is also on trend: the aim is to give a second life to existing garments, making the most of them and avoiding the need to produce new ones. Since 1979, Surplus, the historic Milanese shop in Via Garibaldi (a few steps from the Brera Art Gallery) and now also on the first floor of ANNEX, has been dealing with vintage clothes.
Your beauty routine can also be conscious: from Antipodes, whose raw materials are tracked and verified, to Honieh Beauty, whose products are vegan, natural and organic, to brands that use responsible and easily recyclable packaging.
Supernovas has decided to think about the future of its products: all items are mono-material and therefore completely recyclable, and they can also be returned to the brand or exchanged, to avoid the possibility of them becoming waste. From
Hay's reusable glass straws to
Vitra's totally recyclable
Toolbox holder, it is, above all, the attention to everyday objects that can turn us into Earth Lovers.
