Our guided tours have the goal of educating the public about the environmental and social issues of the fashion industry, while presenting alternative options for an ethical consumption.
The routes are based on a specific neighborhood or personal interests and cover subjects such as upcycling design, fair fashion, local production, circular economy and are offered in English, German, Italian, Dutch and Spanish.
Green Fashion Tours was founded 2015 combining the expertise of Anna from ‘GetChanged!’, Arianna from ‘The Upcycling Fashion Store’ and Mariangeles from ‘HolaBerlin’.
Currently 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 the chance to inform affected customers about their way of working, their visions and obstacles as well as the ecological and social problems of conventional fashion. Participants, on the other hand, get a personal insight into the fair fashion scene which helps making the ideas of a sustainable economy more tangible.
We want to clear up: Why does sustainable fashion matter? How can I, as a consumer or as a designer, 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. Simply by bringing both sides, producers and consumers, together, while exchanging information, ideas and concerns, we can drive forward change into the global fashion industry.
