Philosophie de APAKABAR
APAKABAR does not identify as a “sustainable” brand or “eco-fashion.” We believe in total transparency and honesty, so we prefer to say we are a brand that seeks to reduce its negative impact on our planet and work on increasing our Harmony with the Earth. We are well aware of the fashion industry's negative impact on our environment and society. At APAKABAR, we will strive to atone for this situation by proposing design solutions that benefit both the wearer and the planet. Although our purpose has a serious side, we are all about creativity and fun!
