We’re supporting Plastic Free July!

Many of us already carry reusable totes, Bags for Life, or net produce bags and that’s something worth celebrating.

But there’s still plenty of single-use plastic that finds its way into our lives through takeaways and online deliveries.

This month, why not take one small extra step? You could ask your favourite takeaway if they offer paper bags, or let your favourite online brands know you’d love to see less plastic packaging.

Small changes, made by lots of people, can have a real impact. Every step counts.

“CREATE YOUR OWN STYLE…LET IT BE UNIQUE FOR YOURSELF & YET IDENTIFIABLE FOR OTHERS” - Anna Wintour

The idea of creating a totally unique yet identifiable style can seem daunting.
But we think what’s important is to listen to yourself and not be swayed by others.

If you are true to yourself, your style will be unique to you!
And you will love what you’ve bought, made or found and wear it until you can’t repair it any more
And that is joyful, sustainable fashion.

Welcome to July! As we get deeper into summer, we’re expecting more sunshine, more flowers, more warm-weather living. Festivals, outdoor theatre, beer gardens, summer fetes, picnics, bbqs and more.

Let’s make it a sustainable season: don’t forget your reusable water bottle, packaging-free home-made picnic goodies, cloth napkins and reusable picnic set!

Why not make the pledge and try avoiding plastic for the whole month!

Plastic Free July is a reminder that small changes can make a big difference.

At ZARAMIA AVA, sustainability isn’t just something we think about for one month it’s at the heart of everything we create. From repurposing surplus and end-of-roll fabrics to designing versatile, multi-purpose pieces that are made to last, we’re committed to reducing waste every step of the way.

Choosing better doesn’t have to mean choosing more. It’s about investing in pieces you’ll wear, love, and keep.

This July, we’re celebrating conscious choices, thoughtful design, and a future with less waste and more purpose.

🌿 What small plastic-free swap are you making this month?

“TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY. IT’S THE ONLY PLACE YOU LIVE” - Jim Rohn

It sounds really obvious, but it’s so true. Whatever drives us, we only get one body and it’s worth taking care of.

So, let’s rest, eat well, have fun, stay safe and be thankful for our bodies!

In today’s snippet from our How to Guide, we home in on fabric choice.

The fabric you choose can make or break your silhouette. Here’s what to consider:
Stiff fabrics like denim, tweed, or structured blazers hold their shape and create sharp lines.
Flowy fabrics like chiffon, silk, or rayon drape beautifully but require careful pairing to avoid looking shapeless.
Knit fabrics like jersey, cashmere, or ponte knit cling to the body but offer comfort and ease of movement.
