SMALL ACTIONS FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE LIFE
Cortefiel Man & Woman
With 3 small gestures, we can save water and energy and shop more responsibly, lengthening the lifespan of our garments.
WASH LESS, AIR MORE
You don’t need to wash your clothes every time you wear them. Hang your blouse or suit on the washing line and any unpleasant odours will disappear. If you stain something, do a spot treatment.

FOLLOW THE WASHING AND DRYING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE GARMENT
Cold water’s better than hot, allowing to dry naturally is better than a dryer, and to make sure your clothes last longer, always follow the care label instructions. We want your clothes to accompany you on many occasions throughout your life, not treat them as disposable items.
USE WASHING BAGS
Synthetic clothes shed micro-fragments when you machine wash them. If you're washing polyester or lycra, use a washing bag. After each use, take out the micro-fibres that have come away from your clothes - you’ll find them in the corners and edges of the bag - and throw them in the bin.
