In the era of fast fashion, it's easy to say that mass garment production has dominated the clothing industry at the expense of our environment's well-being. Zero-waste campaigns and eco-friendly practices come and go like fads, and we're left with a few choices when it comes to more responsible clothing options. Thankfully, more and more online brands here in the Philippines are adapting sustainable practices to reduce their carbon footprint, and at the same time, provide women with fashionable pieces that are locally made.
