Make Your Wardrobe More Sustainable
Use our fashion footprint tool to see carbon footprint usage and ways to help the planet through your wardrobe.
Shop Pre-owned
Buying pre-owned clothes are eco-friendly and helps to bring the used clothes to the circular economy .
Your eco-efforts have a story to tell.
Textile industry is considered as one of the largest producers of greenhouse gas (GHG) and is indicated as the fifth largest contributor of Co2 emission. Upcycling reduces the amount of waste and discarded materials being sent to landfill and also reduces the need for production of using new or raw materials.
By reducing the need for production also reduces pollution like air pollution, water pollutants, greenhouse gas emission, and saves natural resources. Mom's Store Nepal has created a fashion footprint calculator, to calculate the fashion footprints. By providing information about fashion footprints by different apparels, it will encourage one’s decision towards sustainable fashion and bring changes through their actions.
Get the credit you deserve and be a part of the change maker.

Donating clothes
Mom’s Store Nepal is collecting donated clothes for children of different age groups. Clothes that are in good condition and are clean can be donated. Make sure that your clothes are clean and repaired. If you are wondering what to look out for while preparing for donation here are the 4 steps that you can follow.
- 1 Pre-sort clothes Sort your clothing pile by dividing into clothes you’ll keep, you’d donate or recycle.
- 2 Inspect clothes Inspect the sorted clothes thoroughly and seperate the clothes that are wearable and functional
- 3 Wash & Pack Wash clothes, dry it, fold and pack them neatly. Remember, just spraying body spray onto your clothes won’t do.
