Sustainable Fabrics at Babakud
Linen:Β Among the most sustainable fabrics, linen stands out for its minimal environmental impact. Sourced primarily from Europe and France, linen is derived from the flax plant, which requires significantly less water to grow than cotton. Unlike many other crops, flax doesnβt need chemical fertilizers or pesticides. This results in linen production generating five times fewer greenhouse gas emissions than polyester. Additionally, linen clothing is not only environmentally friendly but also highly practical for everyday wear. Babakud Women Autumn Linen DressesΒ β perfect examples of how sustainability meets style. These dress are designed to be versatile, comfortable, and effortlessly chic, embodying the essence of eco-friendly fashion. The natural texture of linen gives it a timeless, rustic charm, while its durability ensures that it will remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
Cotton:Β Babakud Women Cotton Tops are made from high-quality, durable cotton that is not only comfortable but also sustainable when sourced responsibly. Our commitment to ethical cotton farming ensures that we minimize environmental impacts while supporting better livelihoods for farmers.
Denim:Β Babakud Denim CollectionΒ is crafted with care, using processes that reduce water consumption and limit harmful chemicals. We believe that fashion staples like denim should not come at the cost of the planet.
The Role of Consumers in Driving Change
As consumers, the choices we make have the power to drive industry-wide change. By opting for sustainable fashion, like Babakudβs linen collection or denim range, we can reduce our environmental footprint. Moreover, small lifestyle changesβsuch as shopping at vintage or secondhand stores, organizing clothing swaps, or learning basic sewing skills to mend and up-Β cycleΒ old clothesβcan significantly impact the environment.
Get the Facts: The Environmental Cost of Fashion
According to Earthday Organization, the fashion industry produces 100 billion garments annually, with 87% (40 million tons) ending up in landfills or incinerators. Only a mere 1% of all discarded clothing is recycled. The average person buys 60% more items than they did 15 years ago but keeps them for only half as long, with garments often worn just ten times before disposal.
Fashion is also responsible for 4% of global greenhouse gas emissionsβthe same as the combined emissions of Germany, France, and the U.K. If left unchecked, fashion production could account for 26% of all carbon emissions by 2050.
Babakudβs Commitment to Sustainability
At Babakud, weβre not just about creating beautiful clothesβweβre about creating a better future. Thatβs why weβve partnered with Sprout to plant a tree with every order over $60. Customers can also choose to add $1 to plant two additional trees. The trees planted through our partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects support wildlife diversity, improve coastlines, provide meaningful wages to indigenous populations, and grow Mangrove trees, which are an incredible carbon sink.
