Roua atelier
Dyeing textiles with natural dyes
Would you like to learn textile dyeing with natural and more ecological dyes? Then follow a workshop at Roua Atelier in Amsterdam-West! Roua is an expert in her field and loves to experiment with new dyeing techniques. During a workshop, she will teach you all the steps of natural dyeing in a fun and educational way and introduce you to the process, fibres, dyes and pigments.
Sustainable walkingtour
Book a more sustainable walking tour with a group of friends for a fun afternoon of shopping, or as a company outing, for example, and learn all about sustainability! So you’ll have a fun and informative afternoon. Want to know more about when you can book a tour, or are you curious whether a tour can be organised in your city? Then contact Marije via her website.
Iris Nijenhuis

Ethical Fashion Stylist in Amsterdam

Then book a workshop at the Ethical Fashion Stylist! At the Private Shopping Workshop you will discover your own unique clothing style combined with sustainable brands together with Ethical Fashion Stylist Ashna. Or, you can follow a Fashion Forward Tour about the past, present and future of the fashion industry.

Or what about a Workshop Mindfull Fashion? Here you will discover what lives inside you so you can decide what truly fits your personality.
