Description: Ecotece is a Third Sector Institute that has been active since 2005, in São Paulo, Brazil, promoting a culture for sustainability in fashion. Our mission is to modify the logics of production and consumption, so that fashion can become more ethical, clean and inclusive. Our main work fronts are: projects on education and culture with reused materials and textile patchwork, along with students from public schools, professional training of vulnerable productive groups, and development of garments with added environmental, social and cultural values, along with local slow fashion brands.
