To be Alaskan means you have one hand in environmental issues, and the other in industry, a delicate balance that puts us in a unique situation to be world leaders in sustainability. And we are, we have a seat at the table. One mission I've always held in terms of the store, is to carry brands and clothes that come from environmental friendly practices. Not all brands are created equal, so it generates an added challenge to source brands that care.
Currently, it's estimated that there are more people living in forced work situations in the Northwest Region of China producing fast fashion than there were people living in internment camps during the Holocaust. It's a horrendous issue that is constantly choked down and swept under the rug. Not to mention the amount of environmental degradation happening at an alarming rate. Dyes, textile waste, chemicals used for distressing, are drained right into rivers and streams that flow through the rest of the country where farmers continuously tap into for irrigation, and yes, finding their way into food. Not to mention the outflow of these chemicals draining into sensitive ocean and coral habitats.
For consumers, it's hard to say no to a price we've all become comfortable with over the last several decades as fashion has moved from custom and tailored pieces to ready-to-wear styles. This is mix of cultural conditioning and a boom and bust industry that pushed us to believe in an unsustainable ideology that condemns both the manufacture workers and the Earth. Fast fashion has consumed us, and we must fight to break out of that mold and be more intentional towards what we wear and put on our bodies.
Like many of you, 2020 has pushed my personal boundaries to explore new ways to be better. To lead us into a superior and more thoughtful way of shopping. I sometimes feel hypocritical for having a retail store in the first place, and then that thought is quickly replaced by, if I don't do it, who will?! So here I find myself thinking of ways to be one step ahead. With that said, I have decided to raise the bar once more, to carry brands that specifically cater to ethical production. And, to also create a pre-owned option, because let's be honest, at this point there are more pairs of jeans on this planet than there are people. We have reached our capacity, and now it is time to use what has already been made. Or, to only purchase items that are good for everyone and everything.
What are your thoughts on sustainable fashion? Is fashion dead? How do we move forward?
Best,
Cordova
Hi everyone I am Emily Naomi wanna give a big thanks to this wonderful psychic for bringing my husband back to me… I never really believed in magic spells or anything spiritual but a trusted friend opened my eyes to the truth about life. My marriage was heading to divorce a few months ago. I was so confused and devastated with no clue or help on how to prevent it, till I was introduced to this psychic Priest Ray that did a love spell and broke every spiritual distraction from my marriage. A day later my husband started showing me love and care even better than it used to be, he’s ready to talk things through and find ways for us to stay happy. It’s such a miracle that my marriage can be saved so quickly without stress.

Good day everyone. I am very grateful to Dr Anokokudo for bring my ex wife back within 24 hours and I want to show my appreciation and share my experience with everyone. My wife filed a divorce after I lost my job at the company where I work and I never knew she had an affair with my boss who casted a spell on my wife. After 6 months of looking for was to change my life and get my ex wife back, I met a testimony of a fellow client for Dr Anokokudo who helped and I decided to give it a try. After my contact with Dr Anokokudo, my story changed. My ex wife came back to me within 24 hours and I have a company of my own presently. I want anyone who needs help with any problem to contact this man and get their problems solved immediately. Thank you sir for what you have done for me.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
