Bikini, lingerie, corsetière and brassiere: inside Carolina Gi’s world – LIVE
Lingerie, corsetière, brassiere: I’m a little confused about those words, and Carolina Gi’s blog makes me enter this planet of made-to-measure underwear with curiosity.

Carolina makes and teaches how to make underwear that doesn’t make you spend your days wanting to run home to get rid of it, or to find the right bra by extricating yourself from the sizes and models on the market. I’ve been following Carolina on Instagram for years, I finally manage to…
Upcycling with Ricreare Lab Shop: looking at things with a different point of view
A shop window in the streets of Pienza catches my eye. It is the laboratory of Raffaella Zurlo, Ricreare Lab Shop, which recovers and transforms materials destined to be thrown away.

WHATaECO! The site where you can find what you need in a more sustainable version
We are on WHATaECO!

Peterson+Stoop’s sneakers: when repair becomes high fashion
Meeting Peterson+Stoop allows us to reflect upon a very important aspect regarding waste in the fashion industry. In Italy the shoe business is predicted to grow over 3.4% between 2020 and 2025. According to a report of the Italian Institute of Research Eurispes, 37% of Italians purchases a new pair of shoes every 3 months, noteworthy numbers that make us understand how important is talking about the production and consumption of shoes in a more sustainable way. Besides the actual shoes ending up in landfills at the end of the life cycle, during the tanning process also the shoe factories produce significant waste: dust, scraps and leather clippings polymeric materials…
Brands and artisans participate in the initiative to oppose Black Friday: together with them let’s transform it into Green!
November, for some, is the month of Black Friday. The Friday of big discounts is an initiative born in the United States with which companies announce the beginning of Christmas shopping. This year will be Friday 27 dedicated to discounted shopping. On November 30th, it will be Cyber Monday, specific for consumer electronics purchases. What’s green about all of this? On Black Friday itself, not much. For some it is an opportunity not to miss opportunities: a mountain of offers that sellers on Amazon and companies will propose us. However, we have the possibility to choose a more positive environmental impact, adopting a conscious approach to our purchases: We can…

A new sustainable leather from eggplant peel: chef Omar Sartawi’s face masks
Italiano/English below Puoi ascoltare qui l’articolo: Dalla buccia di melanzane Con l’inizio della pandemia causata dal virus Covid-19, un nuovo prodotto è sotto i riflettori per via dell’impatto ambientale e la creazione di rifiuti: la mascherina per il viso. Per combattere l’utilizzo monouso delle mascherine chirurgiche, difficili da riciclare e inquinanti per l’ambiente, e il conseguente aumento di rifiuti, sono spuntate nuove e diverse idee per creare mascherine riutilizzabili e più ecosostenibili. Mentre cotone biologico e canapa sono le alternative più utilizzate, non avremmo mai pensato che una soluzione potesse arrivare dagli avanzi delle nostre cucine! Infatti lo chef giordano Omar Sartawi ha aggiunto un nuovo materiale nel mix dei prodotti…
