We’re always trying to make it easier for ourselves to reuse and reduce waste - so we went on a research spree to find some of the best, least time consuming and most innovative ideas to help kickstart easier recycling which we can use again instantly (we well as saving some cash!). LADDER + DRAWER SHELVING Rejuvenate an old ladder or set of drawers - perhaps paint or redecorate them and secure them onto your wall for statement yet classic shelving. OLD SWEATERS + THROWS Old cardigans, jumpers and blankets/ throws can easily be reused for furniture covers or reusable cup heat protectors. If you don’t have the tailoring hand, perhaps take it to a material shop for some advice...

We not only want to increase the awareness and importance for ethical fashion, but do so in a way that is also reasonable for its consumers. Our Ethics We want to be as transparent as possible, here are some ways Unoa is a part of the slow-fashion...
With the rise of importance that social media has concerning professional businesses and audience influence, it has allowed large and small environmental movements to expand their exposure of serious issues and reach supporters easier and more effectively. From Greenpeace and WWF to @surfersagainstsewage and #nowaste, Instagram has seen an incredible response from activists using their online presence to engage with others. This has seen a rise in action taken to make direct changes for the sake of the planet. Using highly popular international events such as Black Friday, sustainable outdoor clothing store Patagonia donated 100% of its profit taken on the day to environmental organisations and charities. Expecting a turnaround of $2million, the company reached over $10million in merchandise sales...
We had a little brainstorm about what we have achieved the last few months since our re-launch - which led us to thinking what we want to achieve for the months ahead. We have you in mind, we have the planet in mind, and we want to continue to grow, to improve, and to keep giving. CREATIVES Having partaken in a few amazing collaborations recently, we can’t get enough of the energy from other creatives. This week we filmed a super exciting video to be released very soon! Fellow ethical businesses, photographers, videographers… we want to continue making amazing partnerships and meeting inspiring people to drive the progress of slow fashion and eco-living. If you have an idea, or want to...
