The fashion industry plays a big part in the increasing volumes of wasted products entering landfills each day. That is why I only create my clothes when my customers make an order, avoiding excess stock and reducing fabric waste to go to the landfill, that means that my apparel is made specially for you!
Sustainable and slow fashion is a much-needed counter-culture to fast fashion. It means longer-lasting clothes of a higher quality, more durable and long lasting. And since we tend to part from good quality clothes less often, it means less goes to waste.
I also reduce landfill waste by donating damaged products to charity.
Is also very important for me, knowing that my products are made in “sweatshop free” factories were workers that manufacturer my apparel receive fair pay and treatment, coercion-free and receive a fair-compensation. Factories comply with all applicable national and local wage laws, including minimum and overtime wage laws, or shall be consistent with the prevailing industry wage standards if they’re higher. Wages are paid in a timely manner and wage deductions shall not be used as a disciplinary measure. Worker benefits shall be provided in accordance with national and local requirements. Child labour is 100% prohibited. The use of forced, bonded, prison, indentured, or compulsory labor in the production or manufacture my products is prohibited. They shall be treated with dignity and respect and shall not be subject to abuse, cruel or unusual disciplinary practices, discrimination in employment, or hiring based on race, religion, origin, political affiliation, union membership, sexual preference, age, gender, or pregnancy.
That’s why I use apparel that is WRAP or OEKO-TEX® certified and for organic products GOTS or OCS certificated.

All my products use to be PETA-Vegan Certified because it use to be free and it was meant to help vegan businesses that couldn’t afford being Vegan Certified but were 100% vegan like my small business. Sadly since 2020 Peta’s certification has become a business and is completely unaffordable for small businesses and artists like myself.
If you want to buy 100% sustainable products I sell digital products I also sell stationary and biodegradable products on my Etsy shops ☺ ALBA PARIS’s ETSY & PIGLEAF’s ETSY.
