Why Slow Fashion & Made-to-Order Matter for the Future of Our Planet—and Our Children
In a world where fast fashion dominates, SKINS LA is proud to take a different path—one that’s slower, more thoughtful, and deeply rooted in purpose. As a family-run brand, we care not just about what we make, but how we make it—and most importantly, why. We believe slow fashion and made-to-order production aren’t just trendy buzzwords. They’re essential steps toward ahealthier planet and a more sustainable future for our children.
What Is Slow Fashion?
Slow fashion is a movement that values quality, intentional design, and ethical production over mass production and fleeting trends. Instead of pumping out thousands of identical items with a short shelf life, slow fashion focuses on small-batch collections, thoughtful materials, and pieces that are made to last.
At SKINS LA, we create wearable art that’s made in small quantities, mostly made-to-order. That means every shirt, sweater, or hoodie —is responsibly produced with care, minimizing waste and reducing environmental impact.
The Environmental Cost of Fast Fashion
The fast fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters on the planet. From overproduction to chemical dyes, the traditional fashion system creates massive amounts of waste and carbon emissions. Clothes are often worn just a few times before being discarded, ending up in landfills where they take decades—or longer—to break down.
By contrast, slow fashion encourages mindful consumption. When you buy less and choose well, you help reduce the strain on natural resources, limit toxic waste, and promote a circular economy that values reuse and longevity.
Why Made-to-Order Matters
At SKINS LA, many of our pieces are made-to-order. This means we don’t create large quantities of clothing that may never sell. We produce based on demand, reducing unnecessary waste and inventory.
Made-to-order also allows us to stay true to our values—creating each item with intention and care. It helps us avoid the pitfalls of overproduction, which is one of the biggest contributors to the 92 million tons of textile waste produced globally every year.
For the Planet—And for Our Children
As parents ourselves, everything we do is rooted in love for our son and his future. We believe that the choices we make today—how we run our business and how we treat the earth—will shape the world our children grow up in.
When you choose SKINS LA, you’re not just supporting a small family brand. You’re supporting a better way of doing business—one that prioritizes people, the planet, and the next generation
