We are in the most consumerist era in history, the era in which the concept of "throwaway" is more fashionable than ever and we apply it almost every day to our lives. In fashion, this concept is called fast fashion, but what is it really?
The idea of fast fashion is the mass consumption of cheap clothes, usually similar to current trends and extremely affordable prices, which places the textile industries as the most harmful to the environment.
But behind this, there is much more: poorly paid wages, no sustainability, cheap production produced in underdeveloped countries, discarding products with a very low life expectancy... and why?
Nowadays, the way we dress defines many characteristics of our person, at least at first glance, and today's society needs to have lots of clothes, lots of accessories and shoes, regardless of their quality and impact on the environment, in order to demonstrate a "proper" appearance.
This also applies to jewelry. Fast fashion jewelry is cheap, yes, but it generates the same waste as textile industries with the same production style. At Lavani we want to show you the reasons why fast fashion is neither the only nor the best option.
Copied designs
Most companies copy designs from small designers or big brands that the population cannot access, adapting them to their market to reduce costs. Obviously, these practices are not fair to designers and small companies. To try to avoid this, in Lavani we register each jewel we make, so that you know that it is unique and that it has its own exclusive design that you will not find in another store.
Jewelry quality
It is clear that, if the jewelry is cheap, you will be able to change and wear different ones every day, but for how long? Because apart from being able to cause allergies depending on the poor quality materials that have been used, they will also wear out surprisingly easily, and they will only last for weeks and then you will have to buy them again. They will hardly last for weeks and then you will have to buy them again. Does it really pay off for you? The answer is no, neither for you nor for the planet.
Sustainability 0
In addition, changing jewelry so quickly will increase the waste you produce, thus increasing pollution and contributing more and more to making our planet worse.
Unique fashion
Having a , which has been made with quality materials, with a well-paid job, which has taken into account the sustainability of the products and which has worked to offer customers the best of the company, are the main reasons why to choose durable fashion and avoid fast fashion, but if you are not convinced, in Lavani we show you why you have to choose us (and avoid fast fashion):
