Fashion for face masks

Fashion industry is most heavily struck by corona and its effects. Due to delivery, dispatch and shop shutdowns production chains are interrupted, turnovers decrease and small brands in the first place are threatened in means of existence. To prevent short-time work, dismissals and company closings some eco brands, fashion enterprises and old fashioned businesses switch production to fabricate highly needed face masks.

Eco Brand Support: Sustainable brands producing face masks will be listed the upcoming days. You are fabricating face masks and like to be listed here? Please provide information, product image and link via email to  info@greenstyle-muc.com
