HOW TO READ GARMENT LABELS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

In the world of sustainable fashion, garment labels are essential tools for understanding the environmental impact of the sustainable clothing we buy. Reading them carefully allows us to make more informed choices towards sustainable brands. Here is a practical guide to correctly interpret the information on labels.


1. Fabric composition: the basis of eco clothing
The label indicates the composition of the fabric, revealing whether the garment is made with natural, synthetic or mixed fibers. Natural fibers such as cotton, linen, hemp and wool are generally more sustainable when they come from eco-sustainable brands, but it is important to check whether they are certified as organic.
Synthetic fibers, such as polyester, derive from petroleum and release microplastics during washing, contributing to marine pollution. For this reason, many innovative fashion companies are investing in greener alternatives.


2. Certifications: guarantees of sustainability in fashion brands
The certifications on the label attest to the adoption of sustainable practices in the production of the garment. Some of the most recognized include:
- GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): guarantees that the fabric is made of organic fibers and that environmental and social criteria are met throughout the supply chain
- OEKO-TEX® Standard 100: ensures that the product is free from substances harmful to human health
- GRS (Global Recycled Standard): certifies the use of recycled materials and compliance with environmental and social criteria
These standards are essential to distinguish a genuine sustainable clothing brand from greenwashing practices.


3. Origin of the product: "Made in" matters
The term "Made in" indicates the country in which the garment was produced. This can provide information on the sustainability and ethics of production, as some countries have more stringent environmental regulations and working conditions. The most conscious luxury brands often favor local production to ensure greater control of the supply chain.


4. Beware of greenwashing
Some clothing brands use terms such as "eco-friendly" or "sustainable" without providing concrete evidence. The label is not everything: it is important to be critical and look for official certifications that support these claims, especially when it comes to fashion accessories or bag accessories.


5. Regenesi: transparency as an ethical duty
At Regenesi, we are very attentive to transparency in the production chain, which is not a detail but a responsibility. As a bag brand and sustainable clothing company, declaring how garments are produced means giving dignity to those who make them.
It means telling the story of the journey a fabric took before becoming a dress: where it comes from, who sewed it, in what conditions. It is an act of respect towards the workers, often invisible, who make the fashion industry possible.


The example of Remind bags: eco-sustainable accessories
Our eco-sustainable Remind bags perfectly represent this approach. Each one is produced using a cotton fabric obtained from the regeneration of textile waste from discarded clothing items. This process completely eliminates the need for dyeing, allowing significant water savings and reducing the use of chemicals.
As a responsible fashion accessories store, we offer women's and men's accessories entirely made in Italy, enhancing local craftsmanship and guaranteeing high quality standards. Sustainable design is designed to be genderless and democratic, adapting to different needs and lifestyles. The collection promotes a new lifestyle that combines comfort, refined aesthetics and sustainability, positioning us as a luxury shop that is attentive to the environment without compromising on quality.


The conscious choice in the world of fashion
A bag produced with ethical methods does not have the same impact as one made with toxic substances in factories without regulations. Every purchase is a choice, every choice is a voice.


If we ask for transparency, if we reward those who are honest and punish those who hide, we can push the entire system towards a fairer future. The goal is to transform every online luxury shop and every fashion brand into a responsible actor of change.


Choosing sustainable luxury accessories means investing in the future of the planet. Discover the Regenesi collection and join the responsible fashion revolution.
