Fast Fashion Is a Problem...But It Isn't the ONLY Problem
It's time to face the harsh reality: fast fashion is wreaking havoc on our planet, but so is our collective addiction to cheaply made clothes that are purchased, worn only a few times, and then discarded, filling up landfills and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. And that doesn't even BEGIN to tackle the amount of natural and human resources used in the creation of those clothes.
But there is hope. By purchasing and keeping sustainable, long-lasting fashion choices like your WoolTribe beanie, you can make a positive impact. Our WoolTribe beanies are made from Responsible Wool Standard certified Merino wool from Shaniko Wool Company in Oregon. Wool is a natural and renewable resource, and it is designed to be durable and timeless. You can wear it season after season, reducing the need to constantly buy new items. When it does eventually wear out, you can either reuse it creatively or contact us for repair and/or refurbishing! We want to work with you to ensure your precious beanie doesn't end up in a landfill. By choosing the WoolTribe Beanie, you're not only making a fashion statement, but also a statement for the environment.
