Shop knits, resort wear, accessories and jewellery, responsibly
Conscious shopping is being mindful of where you spend your dollars. Why not invest in items that not only look good, but are taking steps to better our planet, and its people: us! VIPOP is an online fashion destination bringing Hong Kong fashionistas unique and sustainable designer pieces from around the world. It is a platform that highlights the brands and the people behind them who are taking steps towards a more sustainable fashion life cycle by donating partial proceeds to charities, producing in small batches, using organic materials, or designing multi-occasion items so you get the most wear. The Vipop brand teams carefully researches each of the designers before adding them to the online marketplace. They start with looking into sustainable practices such as uncured leather, recycled material, handcrafted, and small batch. When possible, they even physically visit bazaars, local events, and the designer’s showrooms. They then discuss how the brand fits within Vipop’s sustainability ethos and brand aesthetic before partnering with a designer. The following list are some of our tops picks to shop now on Vipop.
Knitwear
Lo Mark is a knitwear brand inspired by the products of Latin America and the fashion from Paris. The brand was found by the Vipop team during their research on ancient techniques. Alpaca textiles are great known for their high quality and they have been used since the Inca period, they not only tell a story of tradition, but also allow us to praise the work of thousands of artisans whose craft is often undervalued.
From Latin America, designer Lorena has adopted the beautiful materials and the manicured patience of its artisans to produce items of exceptional quality. And from Paris, the grace and elegance of easy-to-wear pieces. Lo Mark only shears alpacas once a year for their products, and use cotton and linen made from organic fibres.
