A gift card that you can only spend at sustainable fashion companies. The Sustainable Fashion Gift Card is a great and original gift to introduce a birthday boy or girl to sustainable fashion. This is not only fun, but above all much needed! In short, a gift that definitely belongs on the greener list!
Sustainable Fashion Gift Card: more than a sustainable gift card
In partnership with Sustainable Fashion Gift Card
A Sustainable Fashion Gift Card is a gift with which you can buy cool sustainable clothing at sustainable clothing shops, but it is much more! You can compare this sustainable gift card to a book voucher, VVV voucher or any other gift card you might have received for your birthday, in a shoe or under the tree. Only with this gift card you really do something good! You can only spend it at sustainable clothing shops, circular fashion companies, fashion designers, concept stores, sewing workshops, clothing libraries and stylists. In short, you can redeem the card at more than eighty entrepreneurs! So these can be shops where you buy something, but experiences and workshops are also among the options.
Sustainable Fashion Gift Card: something for everyone!
And not only ladies have been thought of, men and children also have plenty to choose from with this gift. Because the card can be used so widely, it is a gift for everyone. If you are not yet so aware of sustainable fashion, this gift card gives you an accessible way to get to know it. If you are already converted, this fun gift will give you access to all your favourite fashion entrepreneurs. And you might even discover something new!
A Sustainable Fashion Gift Card for my birthday. I bought sustainable underwear from it.
Sustainable basics for my birthday
Although I know my way around quite well, this gift made me discover a number of sustainable webshops I didn't know before. I consciously decided to use my gift to visit two (for me) new shops. They were Sophie Stone (fair fashion boutique) and Sheep's clothing (online specialist retailer of wool-silk basics) where I ended up ordering new sustainable basics. It turned out to be a wool-silk shirt and sustainable underwear.
Also fun to do with this sustainable gift card
I used the sustainable gift card to buy sustainable basics, but there are more cool things you can do with it. How about tailored styling advice by style coach Mirjam Hamming, a sewing workshop at Amsterdam's cosy sewing café The Stitch or borrow clothes from the clothing library of LENA? It's all possible with this gift!

Why choose sustainable clothing
Did you know that the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of total CO2 emissions? That's more than international air and sea emissions combined? So the clothing industry contributes to global warming, but the production of fabrics and clothes also pollutes the environment. Just read our articles on bambo and cotton, for example. Finally, the working conditions of garment makers are often poor. They work long hours in factories, the factories are often unsafe, they are poorly paid and child labour is also still common. Buying better clothes from more sustainable brands is a step to reduce pollution and stop exploitation.
