The post You Have to See Paula Votteler’s Magical Bags Made From Plastic Waste appeared first on Our Fashion Trends.
]]>Votteler enjoyed making clothes from a young age—she learned how to crochet at five, attended a sewing class in her youth, and learned how to embroider on her own. After giving up the idea of studying fashion design because she wasn’t any good at drawing, she decided to get a degree in packaging technology, which helped her reconnect with her roots.
“I’ve always enjoyed working with existing materials because they hold more value to me when I know their story or if they have one at all. With my packaging technology degree, where I also learned all the benefits of plastics, it somehow seemed inevitable that I would eventually merge both fields,” she told The Berliner.
Votteler has been interested in sustainability and recycling for quite some time and decided to use her designs to make our planet a better, cleaner place. Her bags are made from fabric, beads, packaging, and discarded waste, and she wants her bags to be a reminder “that fast fashion should not be supported and that we treat our planet like dirt.”

]]>The simple act of deciding to have a capsule wardrobe is an excellent step towards living more sustainably. You can focus on choosing well-made, quality pieces that will last much longer and have been made ethically. You can also stop splurging on random items, as you’ll be working to stick to your goal of minimalism.
For those who have had a wardrobe that’s stuffed full to its brim, you’ll know how unpleasant this experience is. Trying to find items through the crush of clothes is nearly impossible, and piles of clothes inevitably end up on the floor due to not having the energy to stuff them back in. A capsule wardrobe will eliminate these struggles.
With only a few high-quality pieces, you’ll find it much easier to compile outfits in general. There won’t be too much concern about clashing items, and you can pull looks together with stylish accessories. The resulting outfits will be super sleek and stylish, with little to no effort at all.

]]>H&M’s decided to try the clothing rental services at their flagship store in Stockholm and for just $37 a week, you can choose between 50 clothing items to rent. The trial services will launch for three months before the company decides if they want to expand it to other locations. You must be a member of H&M’s loyalty program to benefit from the rental services.
Making the change to sustainability isn’t easy as many eco-friendly brands have exorbitant price tags, which turns many people off. Fast-fashion has its drawbacks as its bad for the environment and the workers are underpaid, but it’s just so much cheaper and there are so many options available.
This isn’t H&M’s first attempt at smarter shopping, they previously released their Consciousness collection which uses sustainable materials like orange peels and pineapple for their clothing.
“We have a huge belief in rental, but we still want to test and learn quite a lot and do tweaks and changes,” Daniel Claesson, H&M’s head of business development said.
