Guest - Better World Fashion

Have you ever thought about the value of the clothes you wear?

We are not talking about the economic value, but the story they tell: think about once you wore a jacket and received good news or that backpack that was your friend on a trip.

In the fashion industry, many companies are committed to making the market more sustainable, trying in every way to change the purchasing behavior of consumers, explaining why they should give up fast fashion products.

According to Better World Fashion, however, we should work on the mindset: if a customer wants to change clothes frequently, he can stop buying anonymous, mass-produced products and choose recycled and upcycled items.

That’s why Better World Fashion has launched its leasing service: you can take a jacket, and you can return it whenever you want, even if it is ruined. Once back in the team’s hands, it could be transformed into a laptop bag.

At that point, it will not be just a bag but a product with a story to tell. The sentimental value wins over the economic one and makes the product you choose truly unique.

We are talking about it today with Lars Olesen, Partner & Chairman at Better World Fashion.

About Better World Fashion

If you want to see a real change in the fashion industry and in the way customers consume fashion, you don’t have to change their behavior, but their mindset. We’ve discussed about it with Lars Olesen, Partner & Chairman at Better World Fashion, a sustainability pioneer in the fashion industry. They use a sustainable business model, where jackets are either sold with a buyback guarantee or rented to the consumer. This ensures that the resources are recycled and does not leave the closed leather cycle.
