About

Vestya Shop is an artist-run, online clothing shop based on sustainable principles and created to help us all become more conscious creators and consumers. We care for our planet’s health and aim to create a brand that is not only a shop but also a platform to raise awareness of the problems created by the fast fashion industry and to open channels for the discussion and promotion of sustainable alternatives in the clothing industry. 

For this we’ve created a print on demand online wear shop, where only ordered products are produced. This allows us to offer an array of designs, all inclusive sizes and apparel colours for customization meanwhile keeping affordable prices and reducing waste to a minimum. 

Our Values

We are committed to finding sustainable market solutions and have chosen only high quality certified eco-friendly products to be sold in our shop, produced by like minded companies that not only are sustainability aware but also keep transparency in their supply chain and practices, in accordance with our values.

As a way to counteract the greenhouse gas emissions that we cannot avoid causing, such as our website hosting or the production and shipping of products, we are donating 15% of each sale to projects working on environmental preservation and regeneration. 

Our Products

We search for the most “clean” products possible, both in terms of their manufacture and the conditions under which they were produced. We have chosen our products based on their high quality and eco-friendly certification. They are all Vegan, printed using water-based inks and have the GOTS 5.0 label which certifies: use of Ecological dyeing; no pesticides, insecticides or GMOs used in its manufacture; and decent working conditions and wages for farmers and workers.

In our catalogue we offer products made of two different types of ecological textiles:

100% organic cotton: Cotton is a resource-hungry material (especially water) and its cultivation often involves the use of substances that are harmful to health (pesticides, insecticides and other chemicals). That’s why we choose to use a more sustainable alternative, Organic cotton which is a healthy crop that requires much less water consumption (on average 40 litres for a T-shirt compared with 2700 litres needed for other cotton).

Recycled textiles: Fabric obtained by the reuse of fibres from clothing offcuts (in the case of recycled cotton) or by transforming non-renewable materials such as plastic bottles into (recycled polyester).
