Introducing Catalan: A timeless wardrobe essential
Filipinas love fashion. Whether it’s for casually going out with friends, or simply dressing up to take Insta pics (yes, we do that), clothing’s always a big deal.
It’s such a big deal that when events come up, we see to it that we wear something new. But the thing is, our habitual buying of new clothes is not at all good for the environment.
Bigger than just fashion
Of course, I’m not telling you to stop buying clothes. All I’m saying is it wouldn’t hurt to be a bit more mindful of fashion practices.
The fashion industry contributes 10% of the global carbon emission. And not only that, generally, it impacts the environment tenfold. Were talking about water pollution and waste accumulation, among others. This is why it helps to support brands that are one with slow fashion!
I know that there is no such thing as fashion being 100% sustainable but trying to lessen our impact even by just the slightest bit helps.
Catalan
In an era of fashion that flows with trends, Catalan dedicates their brand to creating classic, versatile pieces fit for both the modern Filipina and the environment!
We tend to focus on trends and style that often, we’re simply buying cheap clothes that put no thought on their wearability. Catalan, on the other hand, offers timeless pieces using quality clothing that’s made to last!
Not only that, you’ll be surprised to know that their products (which are basically at par with, if not better than known brands) are locally sourced and made.
A 100% Filipino brand!
Classic Linen Blazer
If luxury and comfort become something literally visible to the eyes, it would definitely be Catalan!
I love how wearing their Classic Linen Blazer in off-white gives me a sharp but soft look. And not only is it physically aesthetic to look at, but it is also such a comfortable piece to wear, too. The even better part? It goes well with almost anything!
Whether you are opting for formal wear, going laidback with casual wear, or taking it up a notch with resort wear, Catalan’s Classic Linen Blazer is a sure-fire way to feel good, all while leaving a good first impression. And did I mention that it smells sooo good straight out of the package? Because it did!
Care for linen the proper way
One of the impressionable parts of the Classic Linen Blazer is the seams at the back as it gives the wearer a good shape! It contours the waist softly so that it’s both snug and still comfortable at the same time.
Catalan emphasizes the importance of caring for your linens and leaves the tips here to retain the good shape of your linen wears:
Cop yours!
Some of you might think that investing in slow fashion brands may be a bit over the budget, but I guess if we can support known fast-fashion brands whose quality is not even that great, investing in pieces such as that of Catalan’s is an even better idea!
Not only does patronizing brands such as Catalan reduce carbon footprints, supporting local brands paves way for them to be seen more in the market, expanding job opportunities for Filipinos. An equally good point for you, the environment, the local community, and local businesses!
You can get your own Classic Linen Blazer in either an off-white or tan variant here for only Php 2,499!
