Customised Green Fashion Tours

In our vision, Green Fashion relates to a textile and apparel industry with core values: transparency, quality and circularity. It’s what the entire COSH! platform is built around and what we radiate. But, of course, there is never a perfect choice. Still, there are always options in terms of sustainability. A Green Fashion industry should respect the environment, people, and cultural heritages.

The stores and labels on COSH! fulfil our sustainability criteria:

Circularity: Through repair services, reuse platforms, renting systems, redesign techniques and recycling technologies, the lifetime of products is extended, and the value of materials is increased. Brands and stores in this category work towards implementing a Circular Economy.

Environmental consciousness: The products stand for careful use of resources, commitment to environmental protection, and avoidance of chemicals and resource-intensive materials. Therefore the label is involved in environmental campaigns and environmental actions.

Fair Fashion: the store or the label is certified or uses certified materials and works with accredited manufacturers for at least 80% of the products. You can find a list of certifications online on www​.getchanged​.net

Innovation: The label contributes innovatively to sustainable development using cutting-edge materials, technologies and production processes.

Local: The products are made directly at the designer’s atelier or a manufacturer: The overriding goal is to achieve the shortest possible transport routes and support local designers, the local manufacturing industry and craftsmanship.

Second-hand: Buying second-hand is an act of sustainable consumption. It reduces the waste we create with fast fashion consumption and keeps clothes in longer life cycles.

Social & Cultural approaches: Different local social groups or artisans worldwide are involved in the design processes. The brand aims for human empowerment, social inclusion and keeping traditional craftsmanship alive.

Sustainable Jewelry: At least 80% of the jewellery products are certified fairtrade or made of certified or recycled materials. Also, lab-made diamonds and other gemstones are considered sustainable. In addition, the company can provide 100% transparent information about their value chain.

Transparency: The label knows every single manufacturer, the origin and composition of the materials used. All products and services are produced under fair and transparent conditions.

Guided by an expert in sustainable fashion, a Green Fashion Tour is a journey of knowledge and personal experiences discovering alternatives to conventional fashion.

During a Green Fashion Tour, the guide shares important background information about the global fashion industry and personally introduces you to the entrepreneurs behind selected concept stores, design studios, start-ups and initiatives. Different tour guides have different backgrounds and expertise, let’s find the right one for you. On top, you will hear stories of social businesses and sustainable design strategies directly from their creators and get answers to all your questions.

The number of stops depends on the tour duration and the distances between each stop. Usually, we visit 3 – 4 places during the 2−2,5 hour-long tour. More stops can be added in more extended, customised tours.

Absolutely not! Our public tours are for every person who is interested in the topic. The guide will provide the participants with the basic information necessary to understand the fashion industry and sustainability strategies.

Suppose you are already a sustainable fashion guru and want to learn something new; we invite you to book a private tour. This way, we can tailor your Green Fashion Tours experience to your needs and wishes.

You can purchase your tickets here on our website. Just choose the city where you would like to take the tour, and you will directly receive the city’s upcoming tour dates.

If you want to book a customised tour or a tour package, please fill out our form (see above) or send your request to [email protected]. Please specify how many people will come with you, when the tour should take place and your main interests. We will contact you asap to give you more information about prices and possible routes.

For the customised tours, we set a group price (max. 15 participants per group). The price starts from € 352,- (ex. VAT, services are invoiced from COSH! Belgium) for the 2.5‑hour experience.

Small groups of 2 to 6 people pay € 95 per hour (ex. VAT).

The tour package price varies depending on its duration, activities, and group size. Please get in touch with us if you want to have a price quotation. All the public ticket prices displayed on the website are inclusive of VAT.

The customised tours or tour packages must be paid in advance via bank transfer, Paypal, Mollie or Stripe. Please indicate your preferences.

If you request this kind of service, we will send you a quotation referring to our Terms & Conditions with the specific payment conditions.

For private tours:
Since a cancellation affects a guide’s schedule and income, we would like a two-week notice to organise another tour for the guide.

For public tours:
Yes, you can cancel your participation through Eventbrite within 48 hours before the tour takes place.

If you decide to buy a ticket on short notice (48 hours before the tour), we cannot refund your ticket. However, the 48 hours give us enough time to inform the other participants and the entrepreneurs we visit about eventual changes.

Unfortunately not. Please book your ticket in advance. This way, we can tell you if the tour is fully booked, or we can punctually provide you with the exact information about the meeting point.

However, if you want to join a tour last minute, drop us a message via email or on Instagram, and we will try to inform the guide. We will let you know asap if it is possible to join.

There is no minimum number of participants for a customised tour. You can even book a one-on-one experience. We have different prices for groups of various sizes (see the question: What is the price for a customised tour or a tour package?)

The maximum number of participants per group for the customised tours is 15. However, tour packages can usually be booked for 6 – 15 people depending on your chosen activities.

We also accept requests from bigger groups, which we can divide into smaller groups.

Are you looking to explore the local scene and discover all steps of the supply chain and its pioneers that are building a new economy?
Please get in touch with us if you want more information about our 1 – 5 days packages. To create the most valuable experience for your group, we would be pleased to discuss all the details with you and choose the right program modules together in Belgium, Berlin or the Netherlands.

German Green Fashion Tours offers tours in German, English, Spanish and Italian.

In Belgium and the Netherlands, one can book in English or Dutch.

Not all our guides speak all the languages, so this is subject to availability. Please note that tours with bigger groups are generally run in English.

Usually, we don’t cancel a tour because of weather conditions. However, in case of bad weather, we recommend bringing your umbrella, waterproof shoes, and clothes ☺.
