Fashion Revolution Week, towards a more sustainable fashion

Eight years ago, on April 24, 2013, the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh left 1138 people dead and over 2000 injured. 

While the evacuation of the workers had been requested following an inspection revealing cracks in the building, the employees of the garment factories had been forced to return to work, under the threat of being dismissed. 

The disaster, commemorated every year since, has been the occasion of a worldwide awareness of the excesses of the fashion industry. 

At the initiative of Carry Somers, creator of the brand Pachacuti, the Fashion Revolution Week is every year a moment of reflection to go towards a more responsible, more sustainable, more ethical fashion. 

This year, it runs from April 19 to 25 on the theme of the interdependence of human rights and the rights of nature. 

The rights of man and nature are indeed interdependent, and the health of our planet has an impact on our quality of life. We know that our already fragile planet cannot bear the aggressions of a very polluting fashion industry for too long.

This year'sFashion Revolution aims to focus on reinventing the relationship with production, the relationship of brands with each other, promoting collaboration and mutual support, encouraging major international bodies to make their voices heard in order to change things, and encouraging everyone to try a more responsible consumption .

  

We are proud to participate with 17H10 to this movement of a fashion that goes towards a more responsible world, towards a more ethical and sustainable consumption. 

Our commitment as a brand is to make your life easier by offering you ethical clothingWe are committed to making your life easier by offering you ethical clothing, so that together we can move towards a more responsible fashion, to make a step towards a radical change in the way we consume.
