Our thoughts on sustainability
Let's face it - buying new clothes just isn't very sustainable. But what do you do when you feel great joy at a beautiful, new dress or a pair of nice shoes
Our stance on sustainability is: buy less, but better. Buy something of decent quality so it lasts longer. Buy something you really love instead of the latest trend that ends up at the bottom of the closet within a month. Buy something that can be used for many occasions and seasons.
At Dress the Bird, we primarily sell small brands with small collections, which we pre-order, so there is not a lot of waste. Furthermore, many of the brands produce the same styles year after year. It is therefore not clothing that "goes out of fashion after a short time".
Sustainable production of clothing is a jungle to find your way around, but we do our best to find brands where sustainable and ethically responsible production is given high priority.
