ABSTRACT

This article examines Patagonia’s success in marketing sustainable products and explores strategies that could benefit the local sustainable fashion brand, Tove & Libra. Patagonia exemplifies sustainable practices through initiatives like its Worn Wear program, repair services, and end-of-life recycling systems. These measures foster a circular economy while encouraging consumers to rethink traditional consumption patterns and embrace sustainability. Patagonia also combats “greenwashing” by providing transparency throughout the product lifecycle, building trust and loyalty among environmentally-conscious consumers.

The article analyzes how Patagonia bridges the gap between consumer intention and action by simplifying eco-friendly choices and reshaping habits. It then considers Tove & Libra’s efforts as a local sustainable fashion brand, offering recommendations such as introducing recycling programs, adding product recycling labels, and offering repair services. By adopting such strategies, Tove & Libra can better align with sustainable goals while enhancing their brand’s appeal. Ultimately, the article highlights opportunities for both global and local brands to inspire responsible consumer behavior.
