”The fashion industry's biggest challenge today is to become sustainable. A brand that has understood this is Houdini: Instead of just talking about sustainability they have taken the next step and integrated sustainability in their business model. By offering repairs in their stores and letting the customer rent garments instead of buying, this is a company that drives development forward and in time can be a part of changing consumption patterns in a sustainable direction.”
