Congratulations on becoming a well dressed environmentalist! Just by purchasing clothes from Maceoo, you’re doing your part to help the earth. That’s because Maceoo designer clothes are made to last you a lifetime, and won’t end up in a landfill after a few days of use.
It’s a serious problem that both consumers and fashion companies are taking notice of, and it’s called fast fashion, and it’s one of the main reasons Maceoo products are produced in small batches to help mitigate needless waste.
They call it fast fashion, because that’s exactly what it is. Clothes inspired by runway trends that are made cheaply and are quickly thrown out when their short lifespan is up. Here are two troubling facts: currently 85% of our clothes end up in the landfill and it can take 200 plus years for those materials to break down. While the concept behind fast fashion is nothing new, it’s exploded as a problem in recent years.
A big issue is social media. Fast fashion manufactures have partnered with social media influencers to push garments over various platforms. It’s a vicious cycle, someone sees an Instagram ad for a shirt with an ironic slogan on it, buys it directly through Instagram, and a week later that same shirt is in a landfill.
That’s why we offer quality made designer men’s clothes that are made to last. Investing in high quality clothes will even save you money in the long haul. When you buy a designer dress shirt from Maceoo, you’re buying a garment that will stay with you forever, because that’s how we produced it.
It’s not just the production that makes Maceo clothes last, it’s also in the designs. Certain things never go out of style, like a well made blazer. It can be paired with nearly anything, and will outlast any easy come, easy go, fashion trend.
