Local Retail With a Global Vision
Düsseldorf is known for its diverse art scene and progressive fashion industry. Moreover, the city has a growing reputation as a centre for prestigious sustainable fashion events: fairs such as Neonyt, Sustain!, and the Green Product Fashion Award are highly prized there. Are you already getting the urge to explore the city?
Besides the expansion, COSH! and Visit Düsseldorf have collaborative launched a brand new Düsseldorf Conscious Shopping Map! The guide features a selection of local, more sustainable fashion shops with a heart for ethical practices.
What to Expect from the New Conscious Shopping Map
The route map features notable local shops, such as roberta., which is known for its more eco-friendly fashion. Another pioneer of more eco-conscious clothing is green guerillas. You can also count on koko selected, which offers a range of carefully curated second-hand clothes. Taking the kids with you? Then, be sure to stop by popular children’s clothing shops Klammotte Bilk, Klammotte Derendorf, and SecondLuck. For those who like to get acquainted with upcycling products and custom-made prints, Soulgoods is the place to be. Sneakers Unplugged, on the other hand, focuses on more ethical footwear and at Bearth, a Düsseldorf-based brand, you will find cute GOTS-certified cotton basics.
"By strengthening the local ecosystem and increasing community spirit, we enable local businesses to connect deeply with their niche markets, promoting resilience and vitality. This is one of the steps and actions cities can take to avoid shop closures and contribute to the vibrancy and dynamism of diverse neighbourhoods." Niki de Schryver, CEO of COSH!
Rigorous assessment methods to facilitate your choice
Thanks to COSH! you no longer have to worry about how sustainable a brand really is. Thanks to our system, when you visit Düsseldorf, you will be transparently guided towards more sustainable fashion choices and thereby supporting local and more ethical entrepreneurs.
“Unlike many platforms that label products as sustainable with limited verification or that promote mainly online shopping – with the associated challenges such as returns – we at COSH! cherish the social spirit of physical shopping. Our platform rigorously assesses the brands in our shops so that we can offer both locals and visitors a credible and trustworthy shopping experience,” says Niki de Schryver.
