Is Handmade Clothing Good for the Environment?

The clothing industry is the second largest polluter (after oil) – and its manufacturing and production processes create many environmental issues. ‘Fast fashion’ dominates our high street. Consumers used to love ‘fast fashion’ very much. Because it is easy. We choose something, buying it, having it delivered within 24 hours and wearing it – or sending it back if it doesn’t fit! But more recently we have come to realise that clothes manufactured cheaply and quickly to fulfil our need to ‘have it now’ is damaging our planet.

When you buy handmade clothes, not only do you get something unique and individual to you that is likely to fit better than something off the peg, you are also getting something that is kinder to the environment and manufactured and produced in an ethical way. One of the points is needed to be considered is that handmade clothing is an environmental- friendly process. It does not try to spread harmful things like gases, and heat. On the other hand commercial ways of making the clothes are needed heavy robotics machines which release so much heat towards the environment.

That is very harmful for those who are working around the machine. And another thing is that it wastes an enormous amount of energy, and produce unfavorable gases to the environment. The commercial way of making clothes the wasted is dump into the ground and the water. So there are no such issues with handmade clothing.

No wasting of clothes  

The fashion of clothes is seasonal. If any kind of fashion is running at the market so that kind of clothes is sold but which clothes are already made on large scale, and are not in fashion, come in the category of waste. But in the case of handmade clothing, the clothes are made in slow fashion. So there is only a micro chance of wasting of clothes.

So handmade clothing is the best option in any aspect like fashion, durability, reliability of color, smoothness, environment-friendly, etc.  These clothes can get customized as per your requirements within a few days. This process gives the job to those who belong to the handicraft background and who are good at crafting.
