Description

"The sustainable fashion revolution has begun, and we must all be part of it." - Alois Guinut

Stylish women everywhere are realizing the environmental damage of fast fashion and looking for new ways to dress that don't involve cramming their wardrobe with clothes that may never get worn. As Paris-based style-coach Alois Guinut explores in this invaluable book, French women have a lot to teach us about how to cherish the planet without sacrificing your style:

- Know what works for you.
- Buy less and buy better.
- Mix vintage items with a few wisely chosen modern pieces.
- Optimize your closet.
- Look after what you have and make it last.
- Seek out quality fabrics that don't poison the environment.

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
