Sustainably Slow

Sustainable Fashion for Every Style: Minimalist vs. Maximalist

Sustainable Fashion for Every Style: Minimalist vs. Maximalist

Sustainable fashion offers something for everyone, whether you're a minimalist who loves timeless basics or a maximalist who embraces bold patterns and colors. Brands like Everlane, Cuyana, and Reformation cater to minimalists with their focus on high-quality, versatile pieces, while Farm Rio, Blockshop Textiles, and Cleobella bring vibrant, sustainable options for maximalists. At Kila Siku, we combine both worlds with our upcycled leather bags, designed to fit seamlessly into any wardrobe while supporting ethical production. No matter your style, sustainable fashion is all about making choices that last and leave a positive impact on the planet.

Fast Fashion Always Has a Cost—If It’s Not You, It’s Someone Else Paying the Price

Fast Fashion Always Has a Cost—If It’s Not You, It’s Someone Else Paying the Price

Fast fashion comes at a hidden cost—one paid by garment workers and the planet. With wages below living standards, grueling hours, unsafe conditions, and widespread environmental harm, the industry thrives on exploitation. At Kila Siku, we do things differently. We upcycle luxury leather, pay artisans fairly, and craft timeless bags designed to last. Because fashion should never come at the expense of people or the planet. Join us in making better choices. #WearNoEvil #SlowFashio

Sustainable Fashion: A Path Toward a Greener, More Thoughtful Wardrobe

Sustainable Fashion: A Path Toward a Greener, More Thoughtful Wardrobe

The fashion industry is a major contributor to environmental harm due to overproduction, textile waste, and excessive resource use. However, the sustainable fashion movement is gaining momentum, encouraging consumers to adopt eco-friendly habits. Shopping sustainably reduces the environmental burden, supports ethical labor practices, and promotes longer-lasting clothing. By choosing high-quality, timeless pieces from responsible brands, consumers can help reduce carbon emissions, water usage, and waste while contributing to a more ethical and environmentally friendly fashion industry.

Hi - it's me, Jennie @ Kila Siku

Hi - it's me, Jennie @ Kila Siku

The blog post introduces Jennie Lowe, founder of Kila Siku, a slow-fashion brand inspired by her passion for sustainability, timeless design, and her journey as a mother. 

Kila Siku was born out of late nights and nap times. Focused on sustainability, craftsmanship, and functionality. The brand creates upcycled leather bags handmade by a family-run workshop in India, with premium hardware sourced from Japan. The mission is to honor artisans, promote ethical consumerism, and counter fast fashion.

Kila Siku caters to the multifaceted lives of women, offering versatile bags that blend style and practicality and purpose. Jennie emphasizes that Kila Siku represents more than a product—it's a commitment to quality, sustainability, and meaningful design.
