Shopping in My Own Wardrobe

  • Cooperative 3E (Funkkis, 2 krs.) 1 Opistokatu Vaasa, Pohjanmaa, 65100 Finland (map)

Most of our wardrobes hide clothing that are either underused or just lying in the closet because they are tight, pinch, hang or just don't fit our style.

Even finding that own style may feel a bit of a challenge. We aim to be bold and trendy, but end up making bad purchases by following quickly changing fashion trends or buying clothes that look good on others in social media, but do not quite look the same on us.

If this sounds on any level familiar, join us to make better choises! You are definately not alone in this.

The Shopping in My Own Wardrobe workshop will guide you in identifying the right size and style of clothes for your body type as well as to make more sustainable and responsible purchases.

By buying less, long-lasting and repairable, we reduce textile waste and curb overconsumption. Clothes chosen in the right size and from durable materials will last longer in use, and your own personal style will never get old: what feels and looks good on you will last over time.
