Description

The basis of philosophy of the company NOSENE, s. r. o., is the sustainable fashion. They clean any clothing that is in the good condition and then they give sweet-smelling and clean clothing to the shop. They upcycle pieces of clothing, such as shirts, jeans, trousers or remnants of fabrics, by means of “zero waste” patterns into unique small pieces in the collection Renewals by Nosene. In addition to the environmental dimension, Nosene has also the charitable dimension. From each sold piece a portion of the purchase price that the customer can see directly on the tag goes for the help for mistreated women. In total for 2017, they paid EUR 16,592 from which they also helped Romany talented children in the civil association Divé maky, and also mistreated small dogs in association Pes v núdzi. They were awarded the Prize Via Bona Slovakia 2016 for social innovations.

Environmental benefits

NOSENE responds to several societal issues at once. It embraces the concept of slow fashion, which is a certain lifestyle that reflects on how the entire fashion industry currently operates. How is it possible that a T-shirt that travels thousands of kilometres to reach us costs only a few euros and even a few cents on sale? Sometimes it is better to slow down and think about the impact that the clothes we wear have on the world around us, what their ecological or social footprint is, i.e. in what conditions the clothes we are wearing are produced. The story of clothes starts long before they hit the shop racks. NOSENE creates a counterbalance to traditional chains and, most importantly, promotes a social debate on the issue of sustainable fashion. It's not about boycotting the big chains, but rather pressuring them to improve their approach to the sustainability of their own products.

Examples of implementation of the solution in practice
