Buy your clothes in a zero waste shop

Chez « Les trois tricoteurs » un atelier à Roubaix en France, le but est d’offrir des produits durables mais tout aussi trendy.

Some products are made of a special wool so they don’t need to be washed often, you just need to let it air and the smell goes away. And the fabric like wool, cotton, are natural and organic, and they produce on demand so they don’t have stock so no waste.

But why is it hard to shop 100% sustainably?

Being 100% eco friendly isn’t that easy, some materials like fiber aren’t sustainable and cotton use a lot of water. On top of that local and sustainable products often cost more and aren’t easy to find.

There’s also a lack of awareness. Many people don’t know the impact of what they buy that’s why « Les trois tricoteurs » help everyone make better choices.
