From Hotel Bell Repòs, as a sustainable hotel on the Costa Brava, we collaborate with local projects, such as the one with Maria Aubeso, who gives a second life to jeans, promoting circular economy and sustainability.

Sustainable Hotel on the Costa Brava: The Local Sustainable Circular Economy Project

At Hotel Bell Repòs, as a sustainable hotel on the Costa Brava, we actively collaborate with various local projects. We go beyond the scope of a traditional hotel, as we are deeply committed to sustainability and responsible tourism.

This commitment drives us to engage in social initiatives that contribute to the well-being of our community and the preservation of the environment.

Within this article, we aim to shed light on another one of our sustainable partnerships here at Hotel Bell Repòs. We proudly support Maria Aubeso’s innovative project, focused on breathing new life into old jeans and transforming them into unique fashion items.

Furthermore, Hotel Bell Repòs in Playa de Aro has graciously volunteered to serve as a designated collection point for old or damaged jeans, thus supporting Maria’s sustainable endeavor.

Breathing Life into Jeans and Promoting the Circular Economy

Maria Aubeso, the creative mind behind the sustainable project “@Jeansbag19“, is an artist with a deep passion for crafting and sewing.

Her project has an inherently sustainable philosophy that aligns perfectly with the values of Hotel Bell Repòs, which emphasizes the circular economy and responsible resource use.

The project involves transforming old jeans that are no longer in use or are damaged into accessories, bags, or other fashion items, giving them a second life.

Jeans have always been Maria Aubeso’s favorite clothing item, and it all started after her beloved jeans became unusable, prompting her to turn them into a bag. From that point on, she couldn’t stop herself.

Her creativity and passion translated into a series of unique pieces ranging from bags to pillows, accessories, and wallets.

Collaboration with the “La Mar de Dones” Cooperative and the Palamós Fishing Museum

Maria Aubeso’s project is also founded on collaborations, such as the one with the “La Mar de Dones” Cooperative.

Moreover, this organization recognizes the values of recycling, sustainability, and support for local products, and they are responsible for decorating tourist establishments that highlight the attractions of the fishing world in the town of Palamós.

In addition to this collaboration, Maria also offers her pieces at the Palamós Fishing Museum, featuring pillows and bags that capture the essence of the sea.

Hotel Bell Repòs: A Collection Point for Your Unused Jeans

As a sustainable hotel, we support local projects and initiatives like Maria Aubeso’s, and we serve as a collection point for your unused jeans. Instead of discarding them, you can bring them to us so that Maria can recycle them.

Furthermore, if you come to drop off a pair of jeans at the Hotel Bell Repòs, a sustainable hotel on the Costa Brava, we will give you a one-euro voucher that you can use towards the purchase of a bag from the special summer collection that Maria is preparing. This collection will be on display at the hotel starting in May 2024.

In addition to our own sustainable initiatives, such as the use of renewable energy, efficient water management, and other environmentally friendly practices, we are deeply committed to local social and ecological projects that benefit our community and the environment, all while promoting the circular economy.

In summary, at Hotel Bell Repòs, we take pride in being a sustainable hotel that supports local social, sustainable, and ecological initiatives. Sustainability is not just a trendy buzzword for us; it’s a genuine responsibility we share in pursuit of a better world.
