To'hum

To'hum is an idea that started as a journey into the sustainable future. As we prepare for a sustainable future, our industries should bring innovation and heritage together. To'hum means "seed", it also means "the thing that produces a result, causes a result”. To'hum is a lifestyle company that set out to cause our transition to sustainability.

In the light of these values, To'hum is more than just a clothing company. To'hum is a journey and a community that has set out to be the pioneer of sustainable change. We believe our business model with the help of our community will be an exemplary fashion brand for circular fashion.

To’hum not only with you during your purchase, but it also takes care of the use and end-of-life phases of your clothes. To’hum wants its clothes back and wants them back on the shelves. This is what makes our model circular and keeps our clothes in the economy.

By these means, To’hum reduces the number of clothes that are produced and ends up as waste. To’hum has several techniques, which are an innovative combination of the latest technology and old-school methods to ensure the fabric quality, color, and hygiene of the clothes. In this way, To’hum takes care of its clothes at the end of its life in your wardrobe and gives it another life at someone else’s.

Goals of To'hum and Circular Clothing

Reducing the Fashion Waste

In 2019 alone, 208 Million Pounds of fashion waste was created by disposable clothing. With the "Circularity" model we have adopted as To'hum, we want to stand against these fashion wastes and support sustainable life.

Reducing the Greenhouse Gas Emmisions

United Nations Climate Change News states, the fashion industry contributes around 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions due to its long supply chains and energy intensive production; more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Thanks to the model we have adopted, we are adopting to reduce air pollution by reducing the function of this chain.

Reducing the Cotton Production

Quantis found that over 90% of the emissions for apparel come from four activities: dyeing and finishing, fabric preparation, yarn preparation, and fiber production. Therefore, in the model we have adopted, the need for dyeing and cotton will decrease, as the clothes will remain in circulation.

 

We will achieve circularity in fashion industry, together.
