WE CARE

Sustainability is a central part of carbone14;

The first question that came to our mind was: ‘’how to make fashion clothes without producing on the other side of the world?’’.

Using vintage clothes and turning them into something more modern was the starting point.

We take simple actions such as:

practicing minimalism

producing in france, where the headquarter are located

using recycled material for the packaging

cleaning clothes, we sell with our own washing liquid made home (here is our recipe):

Super washing soda – 200 ml (2/3 cup) or sodium carbonate (try to choose one 100% fragrance and phosphate free)

Baking soda – 45 ml (3 tbsp)

Liquid castile soap – 1/2 cup, any scent

Water – 5 cups

By combining these little actions, we are minimising energy, waste, and water footprints.
