Here, we’ll explore five stunning qualities of eco-friendly fashion, so you can help build towards a more sustainable future and look good while you’re at it.

Introducing the bonprix sustainable fashion collection

Here a bonprix, we care about fashion, but we care about the environment more. That’s why we’ve introduced our sustainable collection, as part of our ongoing commitment to corporate responsibility. This capsule collection has been designed in a plethora of sustainable, eco-friendly materials, and finished to a soft palette, making them ideal for any occasion.

What materials are used in the collection?

Our sustainable collection features a range of gorgeous items, including tops, jeans, coats, skirts, and dresses. These easy-to-style items are made from a variety of eco-friendly materials, including:

Cotton

• Recycled cotton: this cotton is taken from old clothes, which are sorted by colour to avoid re-dyeing
• Organic cotton: this cotton is 100% free from pesticides and fertilisers. Our organic cotton conforms to the Organic Cotton Standards (OCS) and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). These both help the environment by guaranteeing both environmental and ethical standards of production

Tencel

These fibres are produced from sustainable wood. The only materials used in its production are water, cellulose, and non-hazardous solvents.

Recycled Polyester

These fibres are recycled from existing materials. This not only saves valuable resources, but also helps protect the environment.

5 Qualities of Eco-Friendly Fashion

They’re usually a lot softer than other materials

Due to being made from sustainable materials, eco-friendly clothes are often softer and more luxurious than other, more man-made products.

Light, breathable materials ideal for summer

Due to their eco-friendly materials, the majority of the clothes in the collection are light and breathable, making them perfect for when the weather heats up.

A variety of neutral shades – perfect for layering

But that doesn’t mean you can’t wear them in the winter! Each of the products in the bonprix sustainable collection is made in a soft, neutral palette. This makes them ideal for layering up in the colder months (no clashing here!).

Often more unique than mass-produced items

The beauty of sustainable clothing is that they are not mass-produced. This means that the chances of you running into someone else wearing the same clothes are greatly reduced.

Less likely to irritate your skin

Due to them being made from more eco-friendly materials, sustainable clothes are less likely to irritate your skin.
