FASHION - SECOND LARGEST GLOBAL POLLUTER
• Creates one truckload of fashion waste every second.
• 10% of global carbon emissions come from fashion production.
• Releases 500.000 tonnes of microfibers into the ocean per year, thats as much as 50 billion plastic bottles.
• It is estimated that all those numbers drastically increase if we do not change how we produce and use clothes.
0% Overproduction
We produce on demand, that way there can't be any over-production.
100% Sustainable
We use organic cotton, produce in Europe, transport our products directly from production to your doorstep.
40% less carbon emissions
If you support this concept it can set a new standard for the fahsion industry and save all emissions caused by overproduction.

ENABLE A NEW WORLD OF FASHION
Change starts with us, consumers. If we don't support our demand by showing that we are willing to wait for products to be produced on our demand, the industry will never change their ways. Make a difference, your voice means everything!
GREAT PRICES FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable fashion has been expensive so far. That's because the industry is so inefficient that the sustainable production is risky and unattractive for many brands. By producing on-demand we can take the risk out of the price and provide amazing products for even better prices!
THE BEST QUALITY
We made sure to use the best ingredients we could find to make you feel great when you wear our products!
MORE THAN JUST FASHION
Wearing UPTOUS products is a statement that you are willing to change your shopping behaviour for a better world. We want to create a movement, together with you, that creates lasting change.
Produce on demand means your product will be produced for you after you placed your order, together with the community. This way the production is a lot more efficient and environmentally friendly by saving resources. Because there is no stock-risk we don't have to calculate eventual profit losses through unsold pieces into our prices. It enables us to offer high quality sustainable fashion for unbeatable prices.
That depends on when you join the drop. You can find the exact end-date for the current drop below the "create your own box" button. After you have joined the drop you will need to wait for the remainder of that time plus about 3 weeks of production and shipping after the drop took place.
Yes, you can cancel your order anytime before your products are shipped or even return the products within 14 days after the product has been shipped to you and get a full refund.
You have the right to return your products within 14 days after they have been shipped to you. Please understand that returns are a big problem for production on demand business. Instead maybe pass products you don't like on to someone that does. Our products sure make for a good gift! Alternatively try to sell them to someone in your region. That way the product does not need to be shipped back and forth throughout Europe.
Our products are created with organic cotton. Cotton crops have not been treated with harmful chemicals. The cotton was harvested and processed under better working conditions with living wages and no child labour.
Another even bigger contribution to making our products sustainable is that all of our products are produced on demand. Producing only on demand eliminates overproduction which wastes resources, promotes wasteful lifestyles and consumer behaviour and makes products more expensive than they need to be (because of stock-risk). Our mission is to deliver the best value for your fashion for as little money as possible thus enabling high quality, sustainable products for everyone.
For the moment we work with one supplier from Portugal. They have been in business for 30 years and are very passionate about their craft. You can get to know them more by visiting https://uptous.co/pages/concept and scrolling down to the interview with them!
We aim to widen our assortment as fast as possible. The quicker we can prove to the world that the demand for produce on demand fashion is the faster we can deliver new, awesome products. You might ask “You are only producing on demand, why not have a wide assortment right away?”. Good question! The reality is that we need to be careful to meet the minimum order quantities required by our producers for every piece we offer. To be able to achieve that in the beginning we need to focus all of our consumers and orders they place on a smaller assortment first. Bottom line: The bigger the community the bigger the assortment will be!
Our company is located in Portugal, so we can be close to our producers and work efficiently with them. The tax rate in Portugal is 23% compared to the tax rate of 19% in Germany for example. All our prices are including VAT.
