Description
A bit about Raspberry Republic:
We are Magdalena and Piotr Stepinski, the founders and sole owners of Raspberry Republic. We live in Poland, in a small, tidy and picturesque Warsaw-suburb where the grass is green, hedges are cut straight and trash is picked up on time and recycled. Together we have three children: Laura, Gabriel and Astrid and we do tons of fun as a family!
This idyllic life seems far away from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, toxic landfills and environmental catastrophes of other places on Earth: A planet that is slowly dying because of stupid decisions made by us humans.
People like us, people like you and me can have a hard time figuring out what they can do to help: we watch horrible videos in the news of garbage in the Ocean but don’t know what we can do from the comfort of our cozy homes. And we feel bad that we can’t do anything or that we aren’t doing enough…
The truth is that we can start by taking small steps: we can ride our bicycle to work instead of taking the car, use less single-use plastic containers, eat less meat and more vegetables…And consume less products: A whopping 32 billion garments are produced each year, and that is for the U.S market alone! 64% of these garments later end up in a landfill*.
One way to contribute is to buy less garments and focus on items of high quality, that will last longer, be more durable to wear and wash and that can be sold or handed over as pre-loved. At Raspberry Republic we focus on organic or sustainable materials of the highest quality and on the organic processes (such as steaming, pre-washing, mechanical stretching) to give these materials a longer life. We are also proud to say that our production is fully ethical and based here in Poland.
