A major part of the production of clothes have been outsourced to countries far away from Germany and Europe. The fact that clothing manufacturing mostly goes along with inadequate working conditions and extensive environmental impacts becomes even for us consumers more obvious. Therefore, it is worth it to check out local fashion labels and stores, where clothes are produced socially and ecologically fair and manufacturing processes as well as working conditions are transparent. In Stuttgart, there are also a few stores, that consider sustainability:
- Greenality - Fürstenstraße 5
- Schlechtmensch - Neckarstraße 86
- Wiederbelebt - Esslinger Straße 14
- Glore - Eberhardstraße 10
- Die rote Zora - Seenefelder Straße 101
- Loyale. Fair Concept Store - Sophienstraße 21
- More labels: Ray the Collection, Anomos, Kipepeo, Eyd, Lovjoj (Labels Eyd & Lovjoj in Glore or Greenality in Stuttgart)
Buying used clothes is even more ressource-friendly. A few second-hand stores are located in Tübinger Straße, but there are also other stores spread across Stuttgart. There are also a few flea markets that are worth a visit. A few examples are as follows:
- Future Fashion Store x Secontique - Sophienstraße 21, Stuttgart
- Frida West - Marienstraße 42
- Vintage Markt - Tübinger Str. 74
- Second Dreams Stuttgart - Tübinger Str. 70
- Stana Second Hand Boutique - Böblinger Straße 115
- Second-Hand Boutique - Neckarstraße 164
- PragA - Second Hand Boutique - Friedhofstraße 57
- Wühli - Robert Bosch Straße 1, Schorndorf
- Rosenrot - Vogelsangstraße 16b
- Flohmarkt Karlsplatz (Saturdays, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.)
There are also dress exchanges and dress exchange parties organized on a few Facebook pages like Freeguide Stuttgart, Fairtauscht, Kampagne für Saubere Kleidung - Stuttgart and Future Fashion - Community.
