#Haulternative -- Fashion Fix
#haulternative
fashion fix
WHAT IS IT?
When we wear clothes we adore again and again, they can
start to show signs of wear and tear. A rip, a missing button
or a stain should never stand in the way of you and a good
outfit. Don’t throw them out, give them a fashion fix. Make
your clothes last longer by repairing them when they need
it. Get creative; make your broken seams, holes and tears
into a fashion statement.
WHERE DO I FIND IT?
There are loads of workshops and online tutorials that
can teach you amazing ways to mend and revitalize your
clothes. Check out the Japanese art of
Sashiko Mending
or
find a quirky
patch
to cover a hole.
More Info:
One of the BEST ways to fix up an old pair of jeans is with a PATCH!

#Haulternative -- Broken and Beautiful!
#haulternative
broken & beautiful
WHAT IS IT?
Just like you never stopped loving your teddy when he lost
an eye or arm, there are certain items of clothing which
we continue to love, maybe even more, when they are no
longer perfect; a pair of jeans that are almost worn through
but are so soft and fit so perfectly still, a favourite jumper
that’s fraying at the sleeves.
Share the story about an item of clothing that you’ve
worn in to the point that others may see it as damaged or
broken, but that you love and will cherish forever.
WHERE DO I FIND IT?
In your wardrobe.
More Info:
There are those boots in your closet that you just cannot get rid of...
They have been worn to hell and back but they will never leave your grasp!

Check out Chic Made Consciously...
We did and we can't get enough!!
We thought her STORY was amazing!
Who better to tell it than the woman herself.. Cassandra!
Here is her story...
Chic Made Consciously was
born in early 2015 with high consideration for people and the planet. We
strive to offer timeless products that are sustainable. Fashion is more
than just looking chic and stylish, it's about being conscious and
ensuring that everyone in the process is treated fairly.
In the summer of 2014, Cassandra
travelled across South East Asia, pursuing her passion of immersing with
different cultures and exploring the world. On her travels, she
became inspired and fascinated by the art, culture and lifestyle in
Asia, especially Bali, Indonesia.
One of her favourite cities in Bali was
Ubud, the art capital of the island which made her feel like she had
stepped into to another world. Artisans, craftsmen, and painters filled
the streets handcrafting some of the most beautiful, one of a kind goods
she had ever seen. As she walked down one street, she came across a
shop where the worker was creating accessories from repurposed tire
inner tubes. She fell in love with his magnificent work and was invited
to spend the day creating and working with the material herself.
She learnt about the unfortunate circumstances with tire waste on the island and all over the globe. In Bali, the locals dump their tires in landfills, which in turn pollute the island and waterways. She
saw how passionately these artisans worked to make change and give
waste a new life. This sparked a fire inside of her and she eagerly
wanted to be a part of this movement.
Instead of mass producing products
made with planned obsolescence, Chic Made Consciously spreads the
message of slow fashion by offering accessories that are designed to
last. We support local workers in Bali in order to preserve their
culture of art and craftsmanship, while also promoting ethical
production and fair wages. We use a material that is repurposed to help
preserve our planet, too.
Our business model works with being transparent in everything we do. Our values = value for our customers.
We hope to continuously educate consumers to make more conscious fashion choices. We believe that working as a collective community, we can truly make a change.

We are all for the sustainable and ethical practices...duh they are the necessary change that our society needs to move away from the wasteful fast fashion culture we live in!
