Are you a real slow fashion ambassador? The 6 behaviors that help you answer.

In the July article we told you about slow fashion and how we Baguy identify so much with this new trend in fashion. In fact, slow fashion, rather than a fashion trend, is becoming a conscious behaviour of both brands and consumers. And we know that, just like you, more and more women are looking for sustainably more responsible clothing brands. Brands with an active role in changing behaviour in society! Fashion brands with which you identify both in terms of the garments they produce and in terms of the social and environmental values they advocate!

To us, you are already a slow fashion ambassador! And you can show it so well! Whenever you recognize in your social networks the quality of our clothing, sharing it with your friends, you highlight its value! The value this garment has for you, its details, its exclusive fabric, and the dedication of whoever produced it! That's why they are so passionate dresses and blouses, because in their creation there is a special affection! And you feel it every time you open your closet and see them! You feel like wearing them!

But what about your friends? Are they all following your example?! Surely some still have reservations about slow fashion. So, we remind you that we could help you convince them to join this fashion trend in a very simple way! As such, we have created a kind of checklist describing the 6 behaviors of a real slow fashion ambassador. And above all, a Baguy Lover!

The 6 behaviors of a Baguy Lover ambassador of slow fashion

The 6 behaviors of a slow fashion ambassador, which we present to you below, describe a conscious woman in the face of the frenetic fashion market. They describe you, a Baguy Lover! So, we believe that you will certainly see yourself in them, and then you can share them with your friends.

1. You value local resources by investing in slow fashion parts

You know that slow fashion gives priority to local production and consumption! The big brands, our well known and not called here, standardize clothes for the whole world. For this reason, they end up limiting cultural specificities, devaluing local workers and consuming resources.

On the other hand, by valuing our dresses, for their minimalist and timeless cut, you know that you're praising manual work and more! The contemporary design and simple lines of Baguy garments, which you love so much, minimize fabric waste. Like our dress SoulRemember?! On the other hand, by consuming our clothing products, you are appreciating the craftsmanship and our brand identity as a whole! In fact, our original and quality pieces are achieved with local materials of excellence and with the handmade care instilled in each of them.

So, by being a Baguy Lover, you enhance the local economy, which is national, and fulfill the first slow fashion behavior!

2. You question the fashion of the exclusively "new" by being a mentor of slow fashion

By opting for Baguy pieces you are challenging the fast fashion trend! You are making your mark on your style preference! You prefer quality, durable, timeless products that never go out of style! You prefer unique pieces that express your personality, rather than mass pieces! You prefer to pay the real and fair value of a dress that has taken its time to create and produce in a sustainable way. A piece of clothing in which every detail has been thought out millimetrically. Like our dressed fluid Victoryin which you had the opportunity to participate in its co-creation!

Also, like Mafalda, a Baguy Lover just like you, expresses superbly her preference for our exclusive and handmade garments. More than a fashion trend, it is a slow fashion attitude of conscience!

"The difference between your items and other similar brands is the quality of the materials, the items being lined and always having wonderful details like your buttons! So, I also say for a long time, it is better to invest in a dress of your brand than in 2 of fast fashion. Yours I know I'll wear for years, the others anyway."

3. You wear and abuse cute accessories that give that extra touch to your slow fashion clothes

You know the limit here is your imagination! As the Baguy pieces bet on modern cuts, characteristic of slow fashion brands, they are perfect to combine with your favorite accessories! Tell us if the trend of slow fashion is a real Pandora's box or not?

From the most sophisticated accessories, such as a more elegant belt or more exquisite sneakers, to the most rustic, such as straw hats or tribal necklaces, there is no shortage of ideas to customise your looks. And that's what you love about our dresses, their versatility! The fact that you can combine them with your favourite accessories, making your look unique and ideal for any occasion!

Slow fashion is really a trend in fashion for personalized styles, don't you agree?!

Oh, and we can't forget the details! Another key feature of slow fashion clothing! Those details of ruffles or buttons that, on a Baguy piece, you well realize how they make all the difference! On top of that, when you combine them with the other pieces of clothing in your closet, you're always #instyle. Remember the exclusive buttons on our Glacier blouse? Well, you weren't the only Baguy Lover who loved them! In addition, many said that the advantage of this blouse was the possibility of multiple combinations that it allowed:

  • with jeans for a more casual-chic look
  • with a pleated skirt for a sunset with friends
  • with some more classic pants for a business meeting

And this has made it a desired garment for Baguy Lovers like you!

4. Ensure that your consumption habits are more responsible by preferring slow fashion clothing

When we talk about consumption habits in a slow fashion perspective, the concept of responsible consumption jumps right out! When you buy a Baguy piece, you don't buy it just because it's pretty, or because it will fit you incredibly well! You also know that you are supporting a 100% Portuguese brand that:

  • cares about fair and adequately remunerated work
  • contributes to the reduction of female unemployment in Portugal
  • values the art of "good cutting and sewing
  • it favors the economy of the national textile industry, which produces high quality fabrics whose weaving follows all ecological norms
  • respects traditional production in atelier and local commerce

You are being a responsible consumer!

So when you buy one of our pieces, you don't feel that it's a sacrifice for you. You can understand its true value! Its richness! And when you receive it at home you will realize that it is a piece loaded with quality, durability, and personality. At the same time, you feel cherished and proud of the purchase you made! 

5. You can always find a good destination for your slow fashion pieces lost in your closet

It's hard to give up a piece of clothing that you've worn so many times, isn't it! But if you don't wear it anymore, because you feel it's worn out or doesn't fit you anymore, why keep it hidden in your closet?

That is why whenever you can you donate your clothes to a friend or relative!

Slow fashion parts even with years of use and some wear are still cute and useful for other women! You feel they will value them just like you did in the past! This behaviour corresponds to one of the principles of sustainability and also to a fashion trend!

If your friends don't know anyone close to them to donate their clothes, suggest the Portuguese Red Cross or Caritas. Help them not to discard their clothes, someone will give them a new life! Another woman will feel enriched with a quality dress or blouse, even if it is second-hand!

6. You're setting an example by wearing a slow fashion piece

Do you realize that the people around you have started to notice more about the garments you wear?! Your co-workers ask you where you bought it. Your friends comment on how much they love your dresses and blouses! Saint Baguy, you answer!

Your slow fashion behaviour is starting to set an example! It starts to have an effect on the behavior of your friends and co-workers. And you, you become a vital agent in changing the path of other women!

But as Baguy Lover of yolk and therefore a true ambassador of slow fashion, you can do even more! And communication is the key! Be it visual, verbal or even digital. Celebrate your preference for slow fashion! Take pictures with your Baguy pieces and put them on your social networks! Don't be inhibited! Show how beautiful, elegant and sophisticated you look in a Baguy dress. Or how a Baguy blouse can be worn on any occasion! Talk about the brand, what you fall in love with the most! Show your friends and followers how proud you are to be a Baguy Lover!

Awareness of the practice of conscious consumption is urgent. And if you want you can choose to share articles like this with your community.
