Our guided tours aim to educate the public about the environmental and social issues of the fashion industry while presenting alternative options for ethical consumption.
The routes are based on a specific neighbourhood or personal interests and cover upcycling design, fair fashion, local production, and circular economy and are offered in English, German, Italian, Dutch and Spanish.
Green Fashion Tours was founded in 2015, combining the expertise of Anna from ‘GetChanged!’, Arianna from ‘The Upcycling Fashion Store’ and Mariangeles from ‘HolaBerlin’.
Green Fashion Tours is a social business run by Niki de Schryver, founder of COSH!

The Green Fashion Tours’ mission
We have a passion for fashion and sustainability. We aim to share this passion through our tours and workshops.
It’s a two-way street. Designers, studio owners and store managers get to inform potential customers about their way of working, their visions and obstacles, and conventional fashion’s ecological and social problems. On the other hand, participants get a personal insight into the fair-fashion scene, which helps make the ideas of a sustainable economy more tangible.
We want to provide clarity: Why does sustainable fashion matter? As a consumer or designer, how can I put sustainability into practice? How many change-makers are there, and what exactly are they doing differently?
We believe that human connection is the best way to do storytelling. By bringing both sides, producers and consumers, together while exchanging information, ideas and concerns, we can drive change in the global fashion industry.
What to expect from a Green Fashion Tour
Our sustainable fashion journeys are urban guided tours to independent local shops, fashion ateliers and design studios.
Our guide meets the participants at the meeting point and leads them to the different tour stops. At the beginning of the tour, the participants get our printed Green Fashion Tours Map, an introduction to sustainable fashion and the problems linked to the global fashion supply chain. Throughout the excursion, our expert guide and the creative minds behind concept stores and fashion labels share important information and insights about their work.
The participants can touch the materials and products, listen to stories about sustainability and innovation and get answers to any questions they might have. Our guide facilitates the conversations between the designers or shop owners and the participants and shares know-how and a strong vision for more sustainable consumption and transparency within the fashion industry.
