Welcome to the ASOS Green Room

  During December 2014, Asos.com received 98 million visits in one month. With visits set to increase for this December, it is safe to say Asos.com is a global go-to desitination for online shoppers. Asos houses a vast selection of established and emerging fashion, footwear, accessories and beauty brands, as well as their own clothing and accessories lines. The buying and design teams at Asos tend to pick up on emerging trends before they appear on the high street. This equates to a well-curated, yet diverse first pick of fashionable pieces, all in one place and delivered to the door – a winning formula. However Asos is not all trend-led fast fashion. Did you know that Asos also partners with ethical brands? Not only in its ‘Marketplace’ where many smaller emerging boutiques use this hosted platform to sell vintage, secondhand and handmade items to a wide audience – but in a ‘green room’ edit on the main website. Simply go to the top left and hover over the ‘Women’ section, and just underneath ‘A to Z of Brands’ you will find ‘eco brands’. Click. Now browse the green room edit. Not only do conscious fashion accessories and garments live here, […]

INDISKA – A Far East Goldmine in Sweden

INDISKA is an ethical Swedish clothing and homeware chain. Founded originally as a little boutique in Stockholm showcasing patterned fabrics, leopard skins, precious weapons and idols in 1901 by the well travelled Matilda Hamilton. Back then, all the profits went to schools in India. Eventually she started selling imported handicraft, textile and spices. In 1951, she sold the company to Åke Thambert who transformed it into the successful chain that it is today. His granddaughter Sofie Gunolf is the deputy manager and the company is run by his family with about 700 employees. The name is the plural form of the Swedish adjective for ‘Indian’. Today, INDISKA have 93 shops in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland as well as an online shop catering to the European market. They also have three Indian restaurants located in Stockholm called Hurry Curry.     In their design, they want to convey their passion for India and the country’s crafts, colours and materials. Indian and Far East influences marry with Scandinavian design. They have an impeccable eye for detail. Their unique style exudes colours, patterns and energy. They want to give the customers the possibility to look like they feel on the inside and […]
