DescriptionResponsible fashion consumption consists of the conscious and informed choice made when purchasing/consuming a garment or textile product, considering not only the need to acquire the part, but also what impact its production process had, the consumption of resources it will have throughout its useful life and how, in the future, we can proceed with its disposal creating the least possible impact. The main objective will always be to ask ourselves, in the first place, about the real need to acquire that particular piece, and if we need to buy a piece firsthand, or if we can consider other alternatives, such as a loan, exchange or even second-hand purchase.
At the end of its life, when it is no longer possible to continue to be used, we must try to understand what other possible use it would have, such as how to reuse the fabric for a sewing project, the trimmings (e.g., clasps, buttons) or, at the limit, transform the piece into cleaning cloths, for example.
