"Fueled by our strong values, creativty and hard work."

The blue jean was invented by Levi 150 years ago but, denim causes so much damage to enviorment, so Levi created Levi Haus in London in 2020.

The Levi Haus is an innovative store which reuses and restores use garnments that may go to waste. The general concept of the Levi Haus is that for an example an old pair of much loved Levi jeans that usually you would throw away once overworn, can be re made into new Levi products or even restored.

This was a wise and considerate move for Levi to make as it will gradually reduce waste of garnments and the resual of prodcuts will mean people will not be buying as many more new ones, meaning there is less damage to the enviornment.

I believe other brands should take inspirtaion from Levi Haus and perhaps open similar style store where used garnments can be turnt into new products.

Levi Strauss & Co.

Recognizing that we only have one planet, the Levi's® brand has taken a sustainable approach to a new concept space centering around longevity and circularity. Levi's® Haus, London in Soho is the first of its kind within the brand's portfolio - the space serves as a new blueprint for an in-store consumer experience; a physical brand hub defined by creativity and a circular-economy concept, making Levi's® last even longer.

"This unique concept store... will serve as the new home for your every need when it comes to extending the life of your denim," said Richard Hurren, Vice President of Retail, Levi's® Europe. "Whether it's a simple patch repair by our tailors, or the chance to create something entirely new from your pre-loved Levi's®, there is something to suit every price point and every creative idea."
Introducing Levi's® by Levi's®
The brand has also launched a new product solution - Levi's® by Levi's® - made from entirely repaired, reimagined and recycled Levi's® product and only available at Levi's Haus, London. Made exclusively of Levi's® back catalogue - namely faulty and returned items we could never sell before, as well as donations from employees and consumers - the product range encourages shoppers to purchase more thoughtfully and sustainably.

Levi's® is also offering a 10% discount for any donation made via the in-store digital donation experience to consumers donating their previously loved Levi'® via the interactive donation wall. The user receives a direct deposit of '500 coins, ' which translates into 10% off new purchases via the Levi's® 24/7 app. The coins can also be used in-store or online at levi.com.
Sustainable on every level
In addition to offering services and collections like a made-to-measure Lot 1 bespoke denim service and our Levi's® Vintage Clothing line, the store also houses a Levi's® Tailor Shop, the brand's renowned customisation and repair service, making Levi's® Haus, London the ultimate destination to see denim through its entire lifespan, and beyond.

The team of in-house expert tailors will help extend the life of old Levi's® - no matter what condition they're in - in any of three ways:

Repair: Consumers are invited to bring their well-worn denim where tailors are on hand to stitch, patch repair and customize your favorite Levi's®. Repurposing and repairing clothes requires minimal additional energy input - no water, no dyes, no global transportation and no power needed to make more jeans.

Reimagine: The brand is partnering with Indigowares, a company dedicated to making well-crafted, low environmental impact designs using organic indigo dye. Founded by textile artist Lisa Reddings, Indigowares brings its unique dip-dying and shibori techniques to reimagine a range of Levi's® iconic products, from Trucker jackets to 501® jeans, ensuring that each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.

Recycle: Levi's® by Levi's® also uses recycled product and materials to create accessories, including bucket hats, tote bags and bum bags. Hand crafted by the Working Well Trust in Tower Hamlets, London, no two accessories are the same.

While recycling technologies continue to be improved and refined, we can make an impact now by encouraging consumers to rethink how they shop. Old is new - and that's the future.

"Sustainabil i ty is a partnership - consumers want new product and new product excites us all. But we want to be mindful and conscious of the impact shopping habits have on the planet," Richard said. "Longevity and circularity are at the core of Levi's® as it transitions to the future of fashion as part of a commitment to making fashion sustainable, creating a space for fans and creatives alike to come together to not only love what they wear, but to live with it longer."

Pretty Little Thing have a page dedicated to their sustainability.

# data[].attributes.body
Pretty Little thing claim that their clothes are "made smarter and from the right suppliers.

An impressive new app pretty little thing have adverstised that they take part in is the "Regain app" which is a way to give away your unwanted clothes and by doing this getting discounts on pretty little thing clothing.

There are also two blogs linked on the bottom of the page made by Pretty Little Thing about easy ways to be more sustainable and sustainable fashion tips.

Despite all the postive steps Pretty Little Thing have taken towards sustainability in their company, they still do get criticised on their working conditons. Underpaying their workers is something they have been accused of many times , but hopefully this is something they can work on .

The owners of a small fashion brand that donates 100% of its profits to African charities claims fashion-giant Shein has stolen one of their designs.

Alice Cracknell, who runs social enterprise Origin alongside husband Tom has vowed that they will 'stick up for themselves' after a 'near identical' version of one of their designs appeared on Shein, a Chinese brand known for its ultra-cheap clothing.

Their popular 'wink' design, previously worn by Fearne Cotton, is sold by Origin for £39.50 - but Shein's mass-produced product was sold for £8.99 before being reduced further to £4.99.

Alice, 33, told MyLondon: "The design has been one of our most successful, and it's based of an African tribal mask, linking back to the cause behind our brand.

"To see that ripped off by a soulless fast-fashion conglomerate, which stands for everything we are trying to fight against, is devastating."

The wink design has been used by Origin for three years, while Alice said she first saw Shein's product on their website in August.

Origin was created in 2018 while the couple was living in Fulham with the aim of providing ethical and sustainable fashion while reinvesting all their profits into social enterprises based in Africa.

The brand has grown rapidly and in 2020 they donated £20,000 to communities in Ethiopia, Mali, and Gambia with projects including education, health and sanitation, female empowerment, and job creation.

Shein was founded in China in 2008 and is one of the most installed shopping apps, adding 6,000 new items to its range daily.

Alice said having 'barely recovered from the pandemic' small brands are being copied and ripped off by retail giants who she claims are 'stealing Christmas'.

Alice said: "This year Shein is offering 80% off for Black Friday.

"Many of their designs, like the one copied from us, are only £4.99.

"This fast-fashion conglomerate is creating a price war that good companies cannot compete with.

"It is difficult to fight greed when you're a small, purpose-led brand.

"However, we can stick up for ourselves and we will.

"We were devastated with this copy of our unique design.

"We stand for a purpose that is far more important than making money and we intend to stick to those morals."

Alice, who previously worked for international charities, and Tom, 36, an emergency doctor working for the NHS, said that as a small business they would struggle to fight the alleged copyright infringement.

Describing it as a 'David vs Goliath' battle, Alice urged shoppers to support small brands and purpose-led businesses this Christmas.

Shein has not responded to requests for comment.
