Slow Fashion: Choose Carefully and Use Textiles Longer

Slow fashion encourages considered purchases: choose items suited to your needs, check their composition and care instructions, and use what you own for longer.

What is slow fashion?

Instead of replacing textiles with every trend, start with their usefulness, fit, quality and care. A fibre name or a style label alone is not proof of environmental performance.

How to put it into practice

• Check the composition of the specific item.
• Choose dimensions, weight and fit for the intended use.
• Follow the care label and repair where practical.
• Buy items you expect to use, rather than adding unused pieces.

Compare materials without blanket promises

We do not assume a natural fibre is automatically healthier or environmentally preferable. For bamboo-based fabrics, check whether the composition is viscose or rayon; the FTC guide explains this distinction. Compare environmental claims using product-specific evidence and the EEA's explanation of different textile impacts.

Choosing Trimita textiles

Check the composition, dimensions and care information on each product page. Only rely on an organic or other certification claim when it is explicitly supported for that item.

Compare the Trimita range and choose for your intended use.
