  • Let us do our bit in saving the world- by just being a little conscious and conscientious in our choices of the garments we wear, in the textiles we use. Soul Space just does that, and more. Essentially an athletic leisure brand, Soul Space aspires to build a community of environmentally-conscious, individuals, who are experimental with their apparel choices and open to the idea of wearing smart, sustainable and most importantly, comfortable clothing (earlier labeled as ‘active-wear’)in a more relaxed, day/night-out setting. To build upon this idea as a like-minded group, its bulding the brand as ‘mysoulspace.in’, to instill the idea of ownership and relatability in its customers. Now you may ask- “What sets Soul Space apart from other brands adopting similar practices? The answer is- recycled polyester, which is why we decided to feature them in our July series, keeping in mind the trend of going #plasticfree. Instead of throwing plastic PET bottles into landfills, Soul Spaces recycles them to make items of clothing. Thus, each #mysoulspace T-shirt you buy, essentially you help save 15 plastic bottles being added to the environment. The resulting fabric is blended with superior-quality organic cotton to ensure its softness, snugness and comfort. To explore more about Soul Space, do visit their website https://mysoulspace.in or @mysoulspace.in on Insta. They're also available across e-commerce websites such as Myntra, Ajio and others. #plasticfreejuly #recycledart #recycledfashion #recycledpolyester #ecofriendly #sustainablefashion #resposiblefashion #gogreen #echo2connect #friendsofechoconnect #fashionentrepreneur #lovefornature #saveearth #saynotoplastic #greenfashion #athleisure #activewear #ecofriendlyfashion #greenbusinesses #saveyourplanet
