But we wanna take also responsibility for our clothes after the user cycle, implementing a Circular Mindset Strategy. For this, our strategy is divided into four fronts:

 

1. BUILDING WHAT OUR COMMUNITY VALUES.
Understanding and listening to our community of clients and users about the clothes' quality, life cycle, and their intentions to return, resell and repair their products. Also, understanding the style value of the clothing through time for them.

​

2. STRUCTURING A RETURN LOGISTIC AND NEW SERVICES.
Structuring a logistic to receive back our products after their lifecycle or after the interest of the users. Offering repair/maintenance services, and the option to return or resell the products received, after repair/maintenance, for the last owner.

​

3. CREATING A MARKETPLACE FOR USED/ RELOVED IMPT!`s PRODUCTS
Structuring a marketplace on our website for used/reloved clothes and accessories, with the possibility to share a percentage of the sale with the last owner of the product.

​

4. TURNING POTENTIAL TEXTILE WASTE INTO ART w/ BLACK ARTISTS
Resignify all potential textile waste from our local production, and products returned that can`t be repaired. We will make it in collaboration with black artists, and turn the textiles into the creation of artworks, collectibles objects, and exclusive upcycled products to be sold or auctioned. Also, we will have an atelier for the production and operation of this strategy.
