I couldn’t support fast fashion anymore and buil I couldn’t support fast fashion anymore and built a resource for sustainable European brands, that are actually producing entirely in Europe.
A few years ago, I was desperate to find shoes and clothes that were sustainably made in Europe. I searched everywhere, but there was no good information to be found. Just endless fast-fashion ads and influencers promoting such.
So I started small with a personal list of 5 brands that met my values: kind to people, animals, and the planet. That list grew longer... and I realized I had to share it with others who are just as frustrated as l was.
That’s how European Craftsmanship was born.
It is now a growing resource to help you discover brands that:
- Produce locally in Europe
- Respect workers and heritage craftsmanship
- Use better materials and more sustainable
processes
Because every choice we make shapes the industry. When we choose craftsmanship over mass production, we keep traditions alive, protect the planet, and build wardrobes that actually last and look good.
Your money is a vote. Let’s spend it on brands that deserve it.
