Green shooping in Austria

The task of sustainable fashion is make people thinking about what kind of garments they are buying. Simple questions as if it is an eco-friendly product, if it was produced with social responsibility or from natural fibers can enhance consuming awareness. If you care about the planet but you still love design and shopping, Austria is the green fashion paradise for you. With plenty of creative recycling labels, organic cosmetics brands and a long directory of sustainable designers, you can get the ultimate trend at the same time that you help the planet.


Recycling is one of the key factors in sustainable fashion. The Viennese TrashDesignManufaktur makes beautiful housing and decoration products of electrical waste and discarded devices. Visit the shop and you will find yourself guessing about the previous life of the cool objects, discovering a former washing machine door, mobile phone buttons and memory chips where you will never imagine. Getting this unique handicraft you will also be supporting the store’s social initiatives.

At Kamaeleon they recycle fashion for children from second-hand men's shirts, table wear or bedclothes with playful and funny details. Famous people like the President of Austria and the Mayor of Vienna have donated their clothing to contribute to the redesigning cause.

You can also think at the planet when choosing your room at the Austrian capital. Staying at the Hilton hotel Vienna is a good option as the company is running a project of energy saving by changing to low-energy bulbs and installing switch off mechanisms in the rooms. When travelling to the Tyrol region, eco-conscious tourist can also find an environmentalist Innsbruck Hotel in the Alps. At the Tyrolean capital, you can go for organic shopping at several beauty shops offering natural skin and hair care products

Green fashion is all about making the useless usable again and choosing natural materials in a creative and stylish way.
