Doing this weeks blog I stumbled across another gem of a
eco-friendly company – Etrican.
They are based in Singapore
and have really nice clothes for such reasonable prices.

They use recycled and naturally grown fabrics in all their products but don’t just stop at eco-friendly materials. They aim to be as environmental as possible throughout their whole company. They manufacture their products regionally to reduce Etrican’s carbon footprint and have eco-friendly offices with limited wastage and recycled paper. As well as this they also try to involve their local community in their quest for ethical fashion by putting on events to raise awareness.

Their accessories are hand-made by people from disadvantaged
backgrounds and their gifts are made and painted by the deaf and physically
challenged to give them an opportunity to work.
Catalytic Clothing
When I found out about the concept of catalytic clothing I
was really intrigued about how it worked. It combines science with fashion to
reduce pollution. The clothing is made in a way that it can break down
pollutants and turn them into non-toxics when simply being worn. This type of
clothing could reduce the level of dangerous pollutants in the atmosphere and
leave the air cleaner. Apparently we have no need to worry about any pollutants
left on the garments because all the clothes we currently wear collect them
anyway and we can wash them off when we clean our clothes.

This idea seems truly innovative and exciting but needs mass
take up to make a big difference so keep looking out for updates and lets make
this trend take off so that it makes it to the mainstream!
