Afect Clothing is really a sustainable streetwear brand through Helsinki, Finland. Afect is about inspiring people with better choices and marketing sustainability. Environmental and social issues are what drive us forward. Afect Clothing’s apparels are designed to be long lasting with environment and sustainability in mind at every step of the process. The sustainable future is only achievable if we work hard towards it. We do this because we want to be the best in what we do and out of love of people and the planet.
All of our apparels are made from completely sustainable materials and imprinted on demand in Helsinki to decrease our environmental impact and to put a stop to fast fashion.
From every sold product, we will donate 6% of the profit to charity organizations that are dedicated to help children, animals and nature. We want to affect causes that are the most important to us. We want to give opportunities to those who are less fortunate and who cannot change the surroundings around them.
Every step of our process has been checked and we know exactly where our products are being produced. The word transparency is what we want to be associated with. Consumers need to know what they are buying, where was it made, and by who. We want to be honest and tell you about every process from the cotton fields to the printing facility in Helsinki.
In our mind, clothes are an essential way to communicate one’s personality and ideals. Clothes are also a simple and powerful way to show your message and support a cause. What we wear will always have an impact on the planet and we can choose to wear clothes which cause less harm. Every print associated with ours has a message; everyone’s actions issues. We want to spread engagement in helping people and making better choices in everyday life. By helping people in need, it will encourage them to do something good for others as well. We believe in this particular domino effect and that inspiring and being an example for others is the most powerful way.
Like our Polar Endure print, which represents the particular growing problem of worldwide warming and over eating. It is the responsibility of all people to make better choices. Earth needs actions towards lasting fashion and without this, we have been over consuming the organic resources, nature can’t maintain this pace. The polar bear dancing on burning ice is meant to raise understanding of this problem. It is our obligation to take actions towards this particular!
Our clothing supplier has a leader status in the Fair Wear certificate (FWF). Every factory is monitored, supervised and visited by parent companies, national governments and international agencies in each monthly and daily visits. All follow the rules of UN’s International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Fair Labor Association (FLA). We promote ethical, humane and lawful conditions and practices in all our manufacturing partners facilities.
Every piece of clothing can be produced with passion in order to respect both humans and the planet. It is our responsibility to make the ‘right’ ethical and sustainable decisions. Every certificate granted to our products demonstrates our commitment to choose best possible options for sustainability, ethicality and environment in mind. Our partners also collect data across their supply chains, which means we are well aware of the environmental impact of our business.
