Clothing is a basic human need but the textile industry is one of the most polluting on the planet and is contributing to the earth’s precious humus disappearing under layers of chemical herbicides and pesticides.

The use of chemical substances, often toxic, during production processes, is causing not only health problems, but also water contamination during the use of our clothes because, every time we wash a garment, the substances it contains go releasing into the water.

The textile industry is also one of the industries that has involved the most labor exploitation in countries without social protection systems like ours.

After years of looking at clothing labels and verifying that practically everything came from Asia without offering guarantees regarding the treatment of the workers and that almost all the materials contained synthetic fibers, we decided to stop complaining and offer an alternative where we could go to buy clothes with guarantees.

humus is an ecological and fair trade clothing store that is part of the “slow fashion” trend, which advocates fashion produced at a slower pace, with the aim of lasting, made with quality materials and timeless designs.
