At the heart of Momad Madrid 2025, La Boutique Consciente emerges as more than an exhibition space — it is a manifesto for change. Curated by Belvis Soler, founder of 001.Agency and co-founder of Luxiders Magazine, this inspirational gallery brings together some of the world’s most innovative eco-responsible garment from the exhibitors showcasing in the show, offering visitors and buyers the opportunity to connect directly with the creators behind each piece.

After its successful first edition in February 2025, La Boutique Consciente returns with the guiding principles “Explore. Get Inspired. Support the Change.” The curation is defined by five criteria: Circular Innovation — from upcycling to creative recycling;  Transparency & Ethics — full traceability and fair production;  Natural Materials — organic and regenerative fibres of the highest quality; High Craftsmanship — traditional techniques and hand-crafted details; and Social Impact — fashion that empowers communities and supports solidarity projects.
