Why Eco and Ethical Design

The overall concept of Kristinit is high fashion that is sustainable. For Kristinit, women don’t need to look like hippies to dress in an eco conscious way. What sets Kristinit apart is that their designs contain a depth that goes beyond aesthetics. The clothes are beautiful but also the beauty is reflected in the process: in the ethical fabric sourcing and how Kristinit manufactures their clothing using fair practices.
