A more sustainable alternative
In an era where sustainability takes precedence, opting for the acquisition of original handicrafts emerges as an environmentally conscious alternative to buying mass produced items. Unlike replicas, original fashion and artworks are produced on a smaller scale, distinguishing them from carbon intensive manufacturing processes.
Investing in art created by environmentally mindful artists, who frequently utilise repurposed and recycled materials, serves as a means to discourage the cycle of overconsumption.
