When we are about to buy any t-shirt we do not think that cotton is often grown with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and is dyed with chemicals that remain partly imbued in the weave. The production of genuine leather and wool, on the other hand, is unfortunately linked to exploitation of animals. Those who are sensitive to these issues cannot ignore it.
With the purpose of help animals actively and to make safe and sustainable fashion available to everyone, a new line arrived, Dress Me Veg, made with certified organic cotton and natural dyes obtained with vegetable and mineral substances as it once was. There are therefore no harmful substances that pollute seas and rivers as usually occurs in industrial processes.

The creator of the project is Laura Carli, who has been working in the fashion industry for 16 years and who has been a vegetarian for a long time, and then takes a step further and becomes vegan.
But the development of the project needs everyone's help. You can make your own contribution to the campaign crowdfunding to support Dress Me Veg on Eppela. Watch the video to find out more.
