Sustainable fashion is becoming more and more important in our society. Circular fashion is a proposal that rethinks the entire industry.

This proposal comes about due to the need for fashion to be sustainable and environmentally friendly, as the fashion industry is one of the largest worldwide and one of the most polluting.

Characteristics of circular fashion

Circular fashion is based on the circular economy system, which seeks to optimize resources and reduce the impact on the environment, i.e., it seeks feedback between consumers so that products do not have a linear consumption, but are given another life.

That is why the useful life of a garment is very important and this model is intended to give garments more than one use, thus avoiding falling into fast fashion.

The circular fashion model uses renewable energy sources, is based on the principles of eliminating waste and pollution in all processes, uses natural raw materials, and keeps products and materials in use.

The aim of circular fashion is to question the current industry, to propose methods that break with a linear production of ‘produce, consume and throw away’; and also to look for sustainable alternatives that are durable over time.

The world of fashion and sustainable development is growing by leaps and bounds. More and more brands want to follow environmentally friendly processes and above all to carry out sustainable fashion. The aim of this fashion is to create a system that can be supported indefinitely in terms of environmentalism and social responsibility.

Lake Shoes is committed to this type of fashion but above all to follow manufacturing processes that are beneficial and do not harm the environment. In the same way it works with very sustainable materials.

This year 2021 two completely natural fibre materials predominate, we are talking about jute and raffia.

The natural jute fibre is extracted from the stem of the jute plant, which is grown in tropical areas. Known as the ‘golden fibre’, jute is one of the longest and most widely used natural fibres for a multitude of textile products and is the second most used vegetable fibre in the world after cotton. Golden it seems, eco-friendly it is as it is 100% biodegradable and recyclable, as well as requiring little fertiliser and pesticides. The commercial success of this type of material came about when hemp became scarce in the mid-19th century due to the Crimean War.

The extraction and drying process of the fibres is carried out with biological production processes, almost entirely by hand, which avoids the use of chemicals in most of the countries of origin, but the hardness of the work must also be taken into account.

On the other hand, raffia is a natural fibre extracted from the leaf of a palm tree found in Madagascar, of the Raphia genus. It is a very simple and natural material that is currently making a big splash in accessories and fashion. This material consists of interlacing the fibres to create thick structures or thinner, lighter and more resistant textiles, which are the ones we are most interested in using as accessories.

Raffia is a perfect alternative to replace plastic for storage, a raffia bag can save you a lot of plastic bags, not to mention the beauty and aesthetics that it has adopted over the years.

Do not hesitate to opt for a more sustainable production model and raw material, as you will be doing your bit for a more sustainable and ecological world.

Nylon has been revalued to the next level thanks to Prada’s initiative, making it a new symbol of modern luxury. Prada Re-Nylon was born in 2019 with a capsule collection that included only unisex bags created from 100% recycled nylon. Among the benefits of nylon, the most characteristic elastic and resistant textile fibre used by this brand to make its garments stands out.

Prada has done it again, in this case in 2020, has presented great news, among which the most important is the inclusion of clothing and footwear, this shows the expansion of Prada has its commitment to responsible trade.

This new collection includes great fashion icons such as the classic gabardine, button-down coats, cocktail dresses or capes. In addition Prada wanted to make a tribute to its iconic Prada nylon backpack in 1984. But among the novelties of this new launch, Prada is making great strides in creating the first model of Re-Nylon footwear made from regenerated nylon. The new footwear models are versions of “monolith” boots and shoes, a high cane model and a low cane sneaker model.

Prada is a clear example of innovation in search of sustainability, so from Lake Shoes we support this initiative, a new Re-Nylon collection, as well as all those actions that have to do with reuse, recycling and a positive environmental impact, since among our priorities is to take care of our environment. The future depends on us, so we must take care of our surroundings and be concerned about this environmental impact.
