MY INTEREST IN SUSTAINABLE FASHION


The Positive Impact of Eco Friendly Fashion - NuEnergy

Hi everyone! I’m Hannah, the new intern here at SUSU Accessories. I’m a 19 year old college student here in Chicago. I’m attending Columbia College Chicago for fashion merchandising. But I’ve been considering switching to study fashion history. I'm very interested in eco friendly, and fair trade fashion. As well as up cycling and thrifted fashion. 

So why is all of this relevant? Well, as of the past 6 months or so, I’ve been increasingly wrapped up in the impending climate crisis we are facing. I’ve been changing my habits pretty dramatically, reducing my consumption, and doing lots of research on what I buy and who I buy it from, especially when it comes to fashion and beauty.

One ethical fashion resource I like to use is called Good On You, it’s both an app and a website. So basically you can search up any brand and this site will tell you how ethical their products are, with a super simple rating system. It’s super helpful when trying to shop mindfully and ethically. (Check it out: https://goodonyou.eco/ ) 

But, still I kept hitting a wall when trying to justify my interest in a career in an industry that is so harmful to the world. The fashion industry is one of the biggest polluting factors in the world, not to mention the great cost of human suffering that it causes.

Fortunately this led me to SUSU Accessories. I guess it was fate really I just stumbled onto the posting as I was searching for a part time job. But when I saw the company and position description, I just had to apply. I have to admit, going into the interview I was pretty nervous. This is really my foray into the world of business, and so far I am really enjoying it! I must admit it’s been a bit challenging, and I’m still figuring out how to balance everything well. But, I know that I have lots of room for improvement and I’m looking forward to continuing to work and grow here at SUSU Accessories!

    PinRui is one of those filaments that is really easy to get hold of and prints well every time you use it. It says its dimensional accuracy is +/- 0.02mm but I’ve been lucky to never have the variance above 0.01mm in hands-on use.
    PinRui also comes in some beautiful matte colors, which is a nice break from more common shiny filaments. Sanding and printing with it is easy. If you’re new to 3D printing and need to increase your collection of PLA, this is a cheap way to do it.
    PinRui 1.75mm Matte PLA Filament 1 kg 3d printing filament is a favorite because it Great versatility, wide range of applications, good toughness and strength, making it ideal for multiple or larger jobs.
    I’ve used a lot of PinRui products, including PETG and PLA, and they always print well. I once printed an 11-foot-long Masamune sword using PinRui and it came out looking awesome.…More»

    The Kingforce is a blast to sail on Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) boards, new school (and old) long boards as well as freeride boards. An all-around masterpiece, the Kingforce puts its number one priority on pure and simple fun.
    It is the best sail choice for power, speed and maneuvers in conditions ranging from flat water to bump and jump, and a touch of surf.
