Fast fashion in Europe – time for a turnaround!
The European market is currently being flooded: Fast fashion from China is arriving here in dizzying quantities. Transport aircraft can barely keep up with bringing the tons of quickly produced, cheap clothing to Germany and other countries. But what at first glance appears to be inexpensive fashion comes at a high price - for the environment, people and the future of our planet.
A global problem: mountains of waste and the dark side of production
The consequences of this overproduction are devastating:
- Mountains of garbage in Africa : Clothes with an extremely short lifespan end up in the garbage after just a few weeks or months. These huge amounts of waste are often exported to African countries and disposed of in open landfills. Many of these materials are synthetic and non-biodegradable, which means they have a long-term impact on the environment.
- Questionable production conditions : Fast fashion is rarely fair. Certificates that ensure that no child labor or inhumane working conditions played a role in production are often missing. In addition, these garments are often contaminated with toxic pollutants that are dangerous for both workers and the environment.
Fast Fashion: Climate Killer of the Fashion Industry
The textile industry is one of the most climate-damaging industries in the world. From production to disposal, fast fashion causes an enormous burden:
- CO₂ emissions from transport : Countless planes, ships and trucks are needed to bring the products to us.
- Waste of resources : Tons of water and energy are used for production, often without consideration for sustainability.
- Chemical pollution : Environmental pollution caused by the use of harmful chemicals that enter soil and water.
Sustainability is not a trend – it is a necessity
In view of these facts, a trend reversal is needed. Especially when it comes to climate protection, fashion should not only look good, but also be produced responsibly. This is where we as consumers come in: our purchasing decisions can change the market.
Our approach: travel adventurously – live sustainably
The future of fashion lies in sustainable concepts. That's why our brand relies on sustainable materials , fair production and a philosophy that combines a thirst for adventure with climate protection. Because travel and fashion can be environmentally friendly!

Together for a Better World
Every little step counts. If we all consume more consciously and focus on quality rather than quantity, we can minimize the impact of fast fashion. Support local labels, pay attention to fair production conditions and choose clothes that are durable and match your values.
