Vintage for a Cause

Climate action

Vintage for a Cause is a circular economy brand for social inclusion that aims to reduce textile waste, involving and bringing together textile companies, designers, and consumers while creating employability and civic participation opportunities for women over the age of 50 outside their working life. Through a shorter, local, and inclusive value chain, it aims to influence all stakeholders towards production and consumption models. Until today, in addition to having trained over 300 women, the initiative has redirected about 2.5 tons of textile waste, consequently saving natural resources such as water and reducing carbon emissions.

Testimony

We believe that there is no sustainable development without cooperation and sharing of responsibility and therefore the local activation of all economic, social, and political actors is essential.
