MATIZ IS THE ALTERNATIVE TO FIRST-HAND CONSUMPTION

THE FUTURE OF FASHION IS CIRCULAR

At Matiz, we want to be part of the change by selecting the best second-hand luxury fashion.

Our philosophy is, and has been since our beginnings, to believe in change and transversal and intersectoral collaboration. We are aware that each decision has its consequence and it is important to know how to assess its impact on people and our planet. Therefore, when we talk about our garments we talk about eco-luxury. This term refers to the perfect combination between social, economic and environmental sustainability, and the effort to provide attractive and updated fashion options.

To understand the reason for our mission, it is essential to understand the power that consumers have in their hands. Consuming has to be conceived beyond an economic expense or a personal whim. Today, it is the greatest political act that we can perform individually. Every time you bet on the second hand, you vote in favor of change.

Finally, we understand that change goes hand in hand with consumer education, therefore, we spend time and resources on the didactic part of this project. Our objective is to accompany the consumer through this new stage, providing them with all the necessary information to trust the project and its scope. We believe that our mission is closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), so it is crucial to stay up to date with mainstream trends.

We welcome you to Matiz, the reference platform for second-hand luxury.

Thank you for being part of the change.”

Why is consuming second-hand the most sustainable?

Buying a second-hand garment increases its useful life by an average of 2.2 years and reduces its carbon footprint, waste production and water consumption by 73%

Interest in second-hand and durable second-hand luxury is growing. Luxury and designer items are of higher quality, made to last, and can increase in value when they reach vintage status (more than 15 years old). Due to this, the second-hand market currently represents between 3% and 5% of the total clothing, footwear and accessories sector, and it is estimated that it could grow up to 40% in the coming years.

Quality vs Quantity

3 out of 5 fast fashion items end up in landfills within a year of purchase. The consequences of fast fashion are catastrophic for the environment, but also for society. That is why at Matiz we do not have Fast Fashion brands.

NUANCE: WHEN SECOND-HAND DRESSES IS COOL

Reselling increases the useful life of an item, but it is not the only way to combat consumerism. Buying at Matiz also avoids first-hand purchases.

Every time you decide to buy a second-hand item at Matiz instead of a new one, you are taking care of the planet.

PRE-LOVED, NOT UN-LOVED

The fashion industry is the second most polluting industry on the planet, especially due to its manufacturing processes. This includes water consumption, pollution, the use of fertilizers and pesticides, chemical treatments for drying, energy expenditure, greenhouse gases... By buying second-hand fashion at Matiz, you reduce your ecological footprint tenfold.
