About Looming Hope
Can an article of clothing change the world?
Honestly, probably not. But we’d like to believe that hope can. We have set out to spread our passion and respect for life and earth through this simple idea of hope and inspiration. We’ve chosen fully sustainable attire as our initial platform with the belief that we can make a difference in our world by actively preventing waste from going to landfills and oceans, spreading an environmental message and by contributing to our private environmental fund to develop green space out of previously unused spaces. Our overall goal is to inspire people with similar passions and ideas to help us collectively create this hope. We aspire to impact people to help us close the loop on a fully sustainable, circular existence.
