More than a store, Beyondwear represents a commitment to sustainable fashion and social inclusion.
Fundació Formació i Treball is a member of the Cooperativa Moda r-, and in addition to its commitment to sustainable fashion, it is also dedicated to managing tons of clothing and accessories through direct collections or in collaboration with other entities.

The opening of Beyondwear goes beyond fashion, it is an invitation to reflect on our actions as consumers and the impact they have on the environment.
By purchasing vintage and second-hand garments, it is possible to contribute to the circular economy and reduce the environmental impact of the textile industry.
One of the most outstanding characteristics of Fundació Formació i Treball and Beyondwear is their commitment to people’s wellbeing.
In addition to ensuring sustainability, they work to provide employment opportunities to vulnerable groups.
The management of the store’s commercial activity and the production lines linked to the collection and sorting of used clothing have generated hundreds of social and labor insertion contracts, with the aim of preventing and reducing the risk of social exclusion of these people.
