Is there sustainable design in Shanghai? I didn’t think I’d find any, but I stumbled upon a fantastic place. Nest Shanghai is a ‘design with a conscience’ brand concept.

Nest where the sum is greater than its parts: Nest is a design collective created to provide a fulfilling shopping experience through products with substance.

The shop is full of interesting products with high quality craftsmanship and responsible manufacturing. Clearly someone saw what was happening in China and had to take a stand.

If you’re ever in Shanghai I recommend a visit– it’s a welcome reprieve from the crazy fast fashion consumer culture on the main streets.
