PASS IT

Pinklitt advocates for slow fashion and circularity, prioritizing quality and eco-friendly practices over fast fashion on quantity and one time use.

The significance of circularity is growing as society becomes increasingly conscious of its environmental impacts. More than 80% of discarded textiles end up in landfills, leading to the release of methane emissions and harmful chemicals.

By adopting a circular approach, we can effectively extend the lifespan of garments through the principles of reusing, repurposing, and recycling- PASS IT. Embracing these PASS IT practices not only helps us preserve natural resources but also prevents the generation of unnecessary waste.
