Repost from @couchmanbespoke using @RepostRegramApp - #armchairactivist . I find it interesting that so many people buy on impulse. Without a thought for what they are really buying or buying into. If the price is cheap £ the more they will disregard the reason. . I want to give you reason to shop from my brand and from any other truely ethical brands too. . #ethical means to ... ☆ know who made the product; because unlike what many people think clothing and accessories are not made by machine. People use their hands to make them, and they wish to be paid right for that. ☆ know where the components came from; was the fibre grown using pesticides, has the cloth flown miles to be made into that shirt you are wearing, will it harm the planet, animals and humans when I wash it, has it used chemicals during processing and dying? ☆ to be transparent about the supply chain ☆ where is the profit going, does the company help others? . I can tell you that @couchmanbespoke all of our garments are made from organic or remnant cloth. . The people making each garment is paid a living wage. . We drive a zero waste initiative on all areas of production and have used @kapdaa_offcut to get some card wallets and note books made. (These are available to purchase and will be on the website asap, dm to purchase sooner) . We offer classes in tailoring skills to better you. With more to come on a Kickstarter project soon. . Just ask for more information . . . #transparentbusinesspractices #impactdrivenbusiness #purposedrivenbusiness #meetthechangemakerchallenge #menswearstyle #menswearstreetstyle #womensweardaily #lfw #sartorial #menstailor #womenstailor #customisedclothing #outfitbuilder #styleinspirations #luxuryfashionbrand #ethicalclothingbrand #sustainableclothingmovement https://www.instagram.com/gogreengiveback/p/Bw0Y4FOHgdX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zcmt8ozyj4sl

Be The Change👍 #MeetTheChangemakerChallenge Our changes like most started small. It can be overwhelming when too much change is happening at once, are we right? Take small steps, maybe that's refilling a water bottle instead of buying plastic, bringing reusuable bags shopping instead, repairing or mending items before discarding OR using a reusable coffee / tea cup. What changes have you made? 🌱 Be LOVE 💓 That may be a hello, a smile, a compliment, scrumptious food shared or holding a door for someone. It doesn't take much time but makes a difference, especially to the person who you showed compassion ( even if they don't acknowledge your kindness ) Make small changes. Surround yourself with like minded souls doing the same. Support local. It starts with us 🇨🇦✌😍 #bethechange #loveyourself #studioshim #30daychallenge #ethicalvegan #makingadifference #doinggood #ldnont #shopsmall #kindnessmatters #bethereasonsomeonesmiles #localisthenewblack #thinkglobalactlocal (at London, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmBnzpHORX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8c6vmrk0ygr0

#Community #MeetTheChangemakerChallenge "We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” @drseuss . . . If you're reading this, Welcome to the #StudioSHIM family 🌱 What's good in your life? Are you planning any adventures this year? Any festivals we should attend? . . .

Who it helps? #MeetTheChangemakerChallenge We hope many. As of right now, we have a couple give-back collections! ❄ 1st, The Starfish Collection, to help Emily, our snow loving friend. She's a blind snowboarder who has a dream to attend the Olympics. Simply awe-mazing! How can we not try to raise funds & help? With your purchase we can 👉https://www.studioshim.ca/collections/team-starfish-collection Follow her journey here 👉https://m.facebook.com/teamstarfishroadtoparalympics 🌱 The 2nd, is our Vegan Collection, #handrawn by @shanewilcoxartist. All purchases include a donation to the London Vegan Food Bank 👉https://www.studioshim.ca/collections/love-life-live-vegan-collection 🇨🇦 Because none of our items are mass produced, we're also helping out the environment. By choosing small & local, we're making a difference everyday in our economy ✔ This year, we hope to have the chance to work with other artist(s), local businesses and anyone looking to collaborate. We grow with each other🌺🌻🌼 . . #complicatedflowers #livesoftly #crueltyfree #veganbrand #ethicalhour #love #live #live #vegan #helpingothers #studioshim #buylesschoosewell #loveall #bethechange #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #beyourbest #everylittlebithelps @londonveganfoodbank #ldnont #forestcity #30daychallenge #ehicalhour www.studioshim.ca https://www.instagram.com/p/BsPUddAHN-9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uo2z3h3z2eke

My Big Why? In Ontario, you would agree there are four seasons correct? So why do we have 52 micro seasons of clothing? These items are mass-produced overseas in unsafe working conditions, quickly made by young & younger, sprayed with chemical to preserve (formalmhyde) along its travel. What happens to the unsold items? Are they donated? With purchase it shows direct support for these practices to continue. At some point, someone somewhere, is paying the highest price, but it can all change! We believe in rights for animals living the #veganlife, but we also believe in rights for all. Our Earth shouldn't suffer for trends. What's the true cost? By the way, we'd recommend watching @truecostmovie and always ask #whomadeyourclothes! Everything is created with energy 😊 Made with Love in a positive environment or hate & unsafe. You're choice. #KindnessMatters!!! Super proud to say that all over items are made with love when ordered. Thank you to our awe-mazing customers who allow up 3 weeks to receive orders. It's worth the wait because they're chemical free and can be worn ANY season. Items that unfortunately don't pass the quality check are donated. Our motto, respect the space & leave no trace. Less is more, do you agree? #choosequalitynotquantity #sweatshopfree #crueltyfree #reducecarbonfootprint #meetthechangemakerchallenge #ethicalhour #studioshim #canadianmade #slowfashion #madewithlove (at London, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsKGMK2n5OM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17sj0t1xpyaw

#Makingithappen Yeah we are! When you remove the doubt and start believing that anything is possible, change happens! At the same, respect when things might not always happen the way we want. Yet, often turn out to be what was needed. Even if it doesn't seem to make complete sense at the time. Just let it flow, stop controlling and see what happens! Less stressful for sure 🙌 This year so far has been amazing for the creative souls. If you're making it happen, please comment below. We look forward to sharing something special with you all tomorrow ✌💗🙏 . . . #believeinyourself #noregrets #justdoit #livethelifeyoulove #lovethelifeyoulive @shanewilcoxartist #ldnont #artistcouple #askbelievereceive #StudioSHIM #creativelife #positivevibes #meethechangemakers #ethicalhour #londonontario #meetthechangemakerschallenge #MeetTheChangemakerChallenge (at London, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKFlVQnkQP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c4e7tjh9k8l4
