COSH! has developed a Conscious Shopping Guide to guide you through the exhibition. You can pick it up at the Visit Antwerp desks on the Grote Markt or at the train station. you can also download the guide online (Dutch only).
The sustainable fashion route starts at Supergoods in the Kloosterstraat. Follow the shop numbers in the guide and discover inspiring examples of sustainability. You can even choose between two routes… Follow the Sustainable Belgian fashion designers route or the trendy eco-lifestyle boutiques route. Or mix the two together!
Conscious Shopping Guide Antwerp
The guide contains information about sustainable fashion and inspires you with numerous Belgian fashion designers and Antwerp stores. COSH! has been expanding beyond just fashion and looking into sustainable jewellery and cosmetics. Did you know that most of the gold in Western Europe is recycled and that our skin absorbs more than 60% of what we put on it? It would make sense therefore to only use natural products that are better for your skin. Basically, this guide is the perfect starting point if you want to consume more consciously!
In our conscious shopping guide you will discover
- Sustainable Belgian fashion designers
- Ethically-made jewellery
- Eco and fair fashion in your style and budget
- Natural cosmetics
- Eco-lifestyle workshops
- Tips to organise your life to respect the planet more
- Sustainable coffee and lunch spots with vegan and vegetarian options
