But, what exactly are we referring to with this term?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong><em><strong><em>Greenwashing<\/em><\/strong><em> and <\/em><strong><em>sustainability<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Greenwashing<\/strong> is quite a widespread phenomenon in which companies claim to be <strong>eco-friendly<\/strong> but are they really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world of <strong>fast fashion<\/strong>, for example, is an undisputed protagonist of this phenomenon in which very often we see fashion brands committed to <strong>sustainabl<\/strong>e lines and collections when the other side of production does not care at all about the environmental damage generated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not very easy to recognize brands that exploit this practice. Usually, these brands champion environmental advocacy but do not hold secure, traceable data and detailed claims about their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lack of awareness is a child of our society, but that does not mean it cannot be reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><em><strong><em>Transparency and traceability: two strengths<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transparency and traceability<\/strong> on the origin of the textile fibers used are two cornerstones of our production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are able to <strong>guarantee the origin of the materials <\/strong>we work with through important certifications. <strong>Certifications<\/strong> such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The <strong>Better Cotton Initiative<\/strong>, which certifies the production of fabrics created from sustainably grown cotton;&nbsp;<\/li><li>The <strong>European Flax <\/strong>certification that ensures flax fibers are sourced from European fields;&nbsp;<\/li><li>The<strong> Responsible Wool Standard<\/strong> that ensures the use of wool from farms that pursue a model focused on animal and land welfare.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Being aware of the way we produce and the raw materials we personally select allows us to move in a <strong>sustainable <\/strong>direction, avoiding collaboration with partners who do not share the same ethical and professional philosophy as we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>That is a way to create products that respect the land and the ecosystem around us, find out more at <a
