Slow Fashion in Prague – Inspiration of the Month
Slow fashion in Prague. That was the topic we focused on last month. I brought you a series of posts starting with my personal experience and introduction into slow fashion. We continued with an interview with an owner of a slow fashion store at Náplavka and we closed the topic with a Prague guide to slow fashion. Here are a September summary and October tips that you can try out.
Focused On: Are You Making the Right Fashion Choices? – Slow Fashion in Prague
“I can’t pretend to be interested in fashion police offenses in Prague. However, there is a related, fundamental question that I would like to address. How much thought do we put into where we get our clothes, shoes, and accessories from?”
Yes, we Praguers don’t care about what other people wear but shouldn’t we care more about where our own clothes come from? Here’s my own journey to more intentional consumption and the reasons behind my decision.
Tip #1: Engage with Slow Fashion
“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.”

Look into it! Do a little of your own research. Keep yourself informed. Because that offers you a choice. You can start here:
Interview: On a Journey to Slow Fashion with the Owner of Etik Butik, Olga Garajová
“Sometimes I need to stop and remind myself that running this store isn’t about worries if you will pay the rent… that always works out somehow. What’s important here is the message and that really is to show the alternatives,” says Olga, the owner of EtikButik.
Last month we sat down together to talk about how come a person who has nothing to do with fashion opens an ethical fashion store in Prague.
Tip #2: Visit Etik Butik
Visit the shop with ethical, slow fashion and vegan shoes and accessories in their showroom at Náplavka (Rašínovo nábřeží 54) or check out their e-shop.
