SHOPPING TIMEOUT- Inspo Refill?

Dressing up with flower prints

doesn't necessarily make cute-

 Mixing up

classic clean cut garments with simple 

accessories & our vintage inspired

Inu Ring for some true

FLOWER POWER! 

This article is from the fashion

section of a Norwegian newspaper

named Finansavisen so they

mainly write about economy and

a dash of fashion. 

Maybe you already got

similar styles in your wardrobe?

I got inspired for some true POWER dressing!

Today I'm halfway trough my 1 year

of 'SHOPPING TIMEOUT' 

Feels really liberating and the list of 

what I think I"need" for my wardrobe

 is still less than 5 items. 

Can't believe I lost my denim jacket just before 

I left KTM and as I 

was using it a lot is is truly missed. 

Maybe this is the 

one thing I will buy in 2015 as it "has to be"

 replaced?

Hmmmm...gotta think about that one. 

Meanwhile..  

Be inspired! I am!

INTERVIEWED- WHEN MOTHER EARTH IS NOT ENOUGH

Just before I left for Norway I met
up with Mikaela,
a journalist student of HIOA.
( Høgskulen i Oslo og Akershus)
Mikaela was working on an article
about the state of Norwegian consumer habits
& 
the increasing middle class in
developing countries that also would like
to have their "piece of the materialism cake"
and what can be done to change our habits here in the west.
I showed Mikaela around on the Knitwear factory and
the metal workshop we work with in Nepal
and then we sat down for some Slow Fashion
talk, telling her about the value chain behind our brand
 A/BARENESS & how we try to implement sustainability in
all aspects of our business model.

Read the full story with bigger letters here-

It is in Norwegian...ke garne? 

( What to do as they ask in Nepali) 

Google translate? (:

include chapatis, rice & curries.
It's nice with some change (; 

It was a sunny day so we brought our lunch outside
