Kimonos
All the Features of Sustainable Kimonos We Love
Kimonos. They are cute, fashionable, and impossible to avoid. When you want to stand out a little from the crowd and avoid wearing the same dull clothing, kimonos come to the rescue! Additionally, buying a sustainable kimono helps to protect the environment.
A kimono is necessary for seasonally upgrading your wardrobe. However, impulsive apparel purchases have negative consequences. Do you want to be responsible for adding another tonne to the planet’s already overflowing landfills? Here are all the qualities we appreciate in an eco-friendly, hygienic, and eco-friendly kimono.
Natural Resources Are Used In Sustainable Kimonos
Plastic-based polymers that are not biodegradable include polyester, nylon, and acrylic. They remain in our landfills even after many years. Think about living on a mound of plastic trash! That is what would happen if we kept producing non-biodegradable garbage.
But a sustainable kimono is unique. It is made of natural, good-for-the-environment materials that will break down and return to the ground after a few months. It frees up landfill space and aids in the natural completion of the soil-making process.
In addition to hemp, organic cotton, ethical linen, silk, and virtuous wool, sustainable kimonos can also be made from synthetic or semi-synthetic fabrics that are used, recycled, and made in a way that doesn’t hurt the environment.
QUESTION YOURSELF:
Does the creation of your ethical kimonos purposefully consume a lot of material?
Does the processing require a lot of water or energy?
Do they produce harmful compounds that are discharged into the environment?
If you answered no to all of the questions above, your “sustainable” kimono is really sustainable. All leftovers are recycled or put to good use since conscientious producers practice zero waste. They also consume fewer resources because they use natural materials and care for them properly. Even the colours used in Nimboo’s Kimono Étourneau Organic are organic and environmentally safe.
Eco-friendly Kimonos Are Morally Appropriate
Child labour and poor working conditions are more common than you might think. Several fashion factory workers in developing countries pass away due to hazardous employment circumstances. Sustainable kimonos wage war against all that cruelty!
Fairtrade is practiced, all labour regulations are followed, safe working conditions are upheld, and a transparent supply chain is maintained. Additionally, the manufacturers of sustainable kimonos provide employment opportunities to individuals in need, such as marginalised groups and households with no source of income.
They Last a Long Time
One aspect of fast fashion is buying a lot of clothing, wearing it twice, discarding it, and repeating the cycle. All of the components you toss end up in the trash and only serve to clog our landfills. On the other hand, sustainable fashion prompts you to buy an outfit and wear it as long as it still functions.
A sustainable kimono is made of long-lasting materials and has a pattern that doesn’t go out of style. Consider the Kimono Short Mésange Organic. It may be used as an accessory for a thousand different ensembles, allowing you to use it for years without getting bored.
