What Is a Sustainable Fashion Hub?

A Sustainable Fashion Hub is more than just a shop; it's a catalyst for change. It reimagines high street spaces, not merely as places to buy clothes but as vibrant centres for sustainable fashion evolution. Here, fashion enthusiasts, conscious consumers, and change-makers converge to foster a community around sustainable clothing and textiles. A fashion hub can exist as a permanent or temporary location and  combine different business models - for example, clothes resale, swaps, lending, repairing, upcycling, styling as well as skills learning and community events.  

Why Should You Open a Sustainable Fashion Hub?

• Change Fashion Consumption: Your Sustainable Fashion Hub can introduce an entirely new way of consuming fashion on your local high street. It challenges conventional shopping norms and promotes responsible fashion choices.

• Build Community: It's more than just a store; it's a gathering place. Your hub brings people together to share skills, knowledge, and inspiration, all centered around the mission of reshaping the fashion system from within.

• Support Local Makers: A thriving sustainable fashion ecosystem relies on the success of local micro-businesses and artisans. By opening a hub, you become a champion for these independent creators, supporting their growth and promoting their unique products.

• Create a Space for Skills and Learning: Beyond fashion retail and services, your hub can offer workshops, educational programs, and events. It becomes a hub of continuous learning and skill development, empowering individuals to make informed choices about their fashion consumption.
