Avant-garde and Eco-Couture brand Macarons from Germany was at Pitti Bimbo and Playtime Paris earlier this year. This beautiful collection is organic, and based on fair trade principles. We asked Julie Carol Kohlhoff, owner of the brand, to explain her deep beliefs and what it really mean to be eco-conscious.
It is so frustrating to see how many luxury label do not care about work ethics at all. Thank god, organisations like Geenpeace work so hard in order to reveal the terrible misbehaving of those companies.
