When the United Nations decided to renew their guide uniforms at their New York headquarters, they didn’t call on a luxury fashion house. Instead, they turned to the Textilhögskolan - Högskolan i Borås, School of Textiles at the University of Borås.
The result? Stylish, functional, and sustainable uniforms made from high-quality fabrics – mostly natural materials carefully designed and crafted by the Borås students. And the garments are sustainably produced in collaboration with local European partners. 💚
The uniforms are worn by UN guides who welcome over half a million visitors each year. More than tour leaders, they represent diplomacy and global values, now dressed in a sustainable look. 🌏 ☘️
This is Swedish innovation in action: combining creativity, sustainability, and international collaboration to shape the future – one stitch at a time.
