Why rent jackets instead of buying them?
We want to create a more mindful relationship with clothing and space for rethinking.
The special thing about our model is that each jacket becomes the living history of a common good through the individual traces and embroidery of the wearer. The jacket is therefore not just a piece of clothing, but also a social catalyst. When people wear the jacket and talk about the project, new encounters and conversations are created - we contribute to bringing us closer together as a society. Sharing becomes a conscious act of connection and solidarity.
By sharing fashion instead of owning it, we enable resource-conserving use and make high-quality clothing accessible to a wider community. This kind of sharing challenges current patterns of consumption and creates space for a new culture of dialog about community, ownership and the future. In this way, shared fashion becomes a symbol of caring, networking and a shared vision for a more sustainable way of living together.
Common Goods Promise
-
Wear the jacket as often as possible.
-
We observe the ageing process and the change in value of the jackets based on the signs of wear and tear.
-
Immortalize yourself on the jacket.
-
Embroider your initials, first name or signature on the jacket label and sign the logbook to show who has worn the jacket.
-
Do not wash the jacket.
-
Instead, place the jacket in the freezer for 24 hours. The low temperatures combat odor-causing bacteria. Not washing significantly reduces water and energy consumption and the indigo coloring of the jacket stays beautiful for longer.
-
Sharing is caring.
-
Treat the jacket in such a way that you can safely send it on to the next person.
-
Tell your friends about the project.
-
Expand the Common Goods community by telling people about our project. The QR code on the inside of the jacket leads to the website. Tag us on social media @commongoods.ch with #commongoodsjackets and other hashtags like #indigoblue #sharingiscaring #jacketlovers.
