Hi Roki! I really loved this blog post as it really describes how the fashion industry is responsible for environmental problems. I also really found the brand you picked is really interesting because I’ve never heard of it and it seems like a really good brand to buy from. I even looked at the website and was pleasantly surprised with how they have a whole page dedicated to their sustainable practices.
