Fashion Exchange
Fashion Exchange is a company that organizes clothing exchange events whereby people come together and exchange their unwanted, lightly worn or new, clothes and accessories. The events are not just a place where you can source a new wardrobe (although that is the best part) they also provide a fun and entertaining girls night out. So grab your unwanted clothes and some friends and come along for an evening filled with shopping, gossiping and socializing – what more could you ask for?!

 Well known Tsonga is a South African company with fair trade practices. It has created an employment programme specifically to empower and uplift a community of women in Kwazulu-Natal midlands in South Africa called thread of hope. The time-perfected art of hand stitching beautifully styled leather is a Tsonga tradition – kept alive in the Drackensburg foothills by local Zulu Women, who craft each bag with a spirit of their authentic African heritage. You can find Tsonga concept stores have opened in Durban, Cape Town the Kwazulu Natal midlands, Franschoek and now in Dulstroom – stocking a wide international range of Tsonga shoes and handbags.  Carbon d’Afreeque is a series of unique high-end, designer bags made from recycled PVC billboard skins. Billboards may be on our high-ways for a while, but they live forever in the environment. Carbon d’Afreeque’s “e-mission” statement is to make the planet a cleaner and greener place, in style. Before being incinerated or dumped into landfills, these PVC skins are intercepted and transformed into unique designer and utility pieces, in the shape of a sexy clutch, a day-trip shopper bag or even a laptop sleeve. Carbon d’Afreeque is fashion with a conscience; saving the planet one bag at a time. 'Give-it-bag' tries hard to follow their principles of using local production as well as recycled materials. This company converts large commercial produce fabric bags into trendy handbags and totes. Bags full of rice, coffee, tea, sugar, and salt all make their way to Cape Town from every corner of the world. 'Give-it-Bag' collects these empty bags then chooses ones that would make great design handbags. Once this is done, the bags are cut and cleaned. No effort is spared to produce the best quality bags and the company is completely committed to keeping it local. Not just the bags, but the labels, stickers and packaging are all made in South Africa. According to the owners, 'Give-it-Bag' meets the need of a consciously living, globally-aware society — "people want to know what they are buying and where and how it was produced". |
“Fashionably Green” is very hot right now and so it should be, seeing that everyone from Steven Hawking, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz and Al Gore have become global green ambassadors and every network from SKY to CNN continuously report on what we can do to keep the environment cleaner and our planet cooler.
