As we aim to live in a way that is considerate of our fellow brothers and sisters around the world + good stewards of our planet, we know we need to consider how we build our closets. Fast fashion is the ultimate toxic relationship. It's bad news for the planet, our brains and our bank balances. We can't go on like this; our shopping habits need an overhaul. Journalist Lauren Bravo loves clothes more than anything, but she's called time on her affair with fast fashion in search of a slower, saner way of dressing. In this book, she'll help you do the same.
How To Break Up With Fast Fashion will help you to change your mindset, fall back in love with your wardrobe and embrace more sustainable ways of shopping - from the clothes swap to the charity shop. Full of refreshing honesty and realistic advice, Lauren will inspire you to repair, recycle and give your unloved items a new lease of life without sacrificing your style.
We also happen to think growth with others is the way to go. It is in community that we are challenged, encouraged, reminded, and strengthened — especially when on a journey that is not the norm. So, we invite you to join us this May + June for our first ever Book Club at our new shop.
It’ll be simple. You buy the book. Each week, we will read a section in the book and then, when we meet on either Thursday or Saturday — we will discuss what we have learned and are growing in. This Book Club isn't just about what you know, but about what you are doing with that information in your everyday.
Like Perry Noble says, "Deep is not what you know, it's what you do." Let's go a little deeper this May and June - not just in what we know about sustainability, say about fair trade, or post about eco-friendly - but in how we do life.
