A t-shirt and a fair fashion company with a history – I’ll also share with you more info on how you can become fashion rebels and activists yourself!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regular readers of my blog already know about the shirt story<\/a>. After an exciting trip around the world, I was able to have one of my favorite souvenirs tailor-made into a one of a kind piece. I found a small piece of vintage fabric in a second hand shop in Cambodia and actually carried it in my backpacker backpack for months. Back in Germany, the vintage fabric was then sent to Poland, where the KOKOworld team used it and made it into a shirt<\/a>! You can read the whole story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And today the story continues!<\/em><\/p>\n

Agata Kurek had a similar experience that inspired her to start the fair fashion label KOKOworld:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like me, she quit her permanent job, packed her backpack, and traveled through countries that she had never seen before. The biggest inspiration came in Mali: at a music festival she met people who inspired her to combine her passion for music, dance, travel and craft: it was not easy and the path had many hurdles. But Agata managed to unite artisans from different countries in one project and thus fight mass production and fast fashion. The KOKOworld<\/a> brand was born.<\/p>\n

Agata knows the conditions under which the designs, which pay great attention to detail, are produced. Kis Herry from Indonesia produces special fabrics in his small studio, which are stamped by hand. In Krak\u00f3w, Maruna sews bags from these fabrics. Eduardo from Colombia produces jewelry for KOKOworld in a traditional way. You can read more about the individual stories here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Transparency<\/em>: KOKOworld is constantly evolving. The share of sustainable fibers at KOKOworld is to be increased to 70 percent in 2020. At the moment, 55 percent of the collection is already made from natural materials such as organic cotton and Tencel. Most of the production takes place in small family businesses in Poland.<\/p>\n

Of course, I was also able to try out a few styles:<\/strong><\/p>\n
