Make clothes last

Wash less, wash cold, air dry: the care habits that double garment life — and halve fashion's footprint.

3 min read · free, like the whole base

The most sustainable garment is the one already in your closet — and how you care for it decides how long it stays there. Most clothes die in the laundry, not on the street.

Wash less, wash cold

Jeans want washing every 10+ wears, knits every 3–4, and airing out handles most in-between freshness. Cold water protects fiber and color and cuts energy use dramatically.

Skip the dryer

Heat is the enemy of elastane, wool and fit. Air drying is the single biggest life-extender for anything you love — flat for knits, hung for shirts.

Repair is a flex

A re-sewn button takes four minutes. Visible mending on denim and knits has gone from thrift necessity to style statement — a repaired piece has a story a new one doesn't.
