The incident left consumers all over the world questioning who makes the clothes we wear every day and in what kind of conditions? Documentaries like ’The True Cost’ shine a light on how the fast fashion industry depletes the earth’s resources and leverages slave labor to pass on a "cheap" cost to the end consumer. > “Who makes the clothing we wear every day and in what conditions?” As consumers, we’ve become increasingly conscious about our purchases, channeling the power of our vocalized objections to make a positive difference for the people involved in the making of our clothes and goods. Now, eight years after the Rana Plaza tragedy, dozens of slow fashion brands have emerged that are dedicated to ethical and sustainable practices. The 35 companies we have listed below are some of our favorite ethical alternatives to fast fashion companies. Each one has made it a central part of its mission to approach fashion in an ethical and transparent way that considers both people and the planet. If you're making the shift to a completely ethical wardrobe, check out our guides to responsibly made shoes, sustainable purses, and fair trade jewelry. If you live in the UK, here are fair trade fashion brands in the UK. Are you looking for secondhand and vintage instead?

Preview Post Reply Laura 7 months ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 1 Like I’m a fan of Kotn’s educational initiatives and the softness of their products. But while Kotn can be called ethical, it cannot be classified as sustainable. I believe their cotton is still not organic? Regular cotton, although it adds to a growing economy, does not provide a safe environment for its farmers. The water usage alone is extremely demanding for a country that suffers from water shortage. I love this article and I just wanted to keep us all informed so that we weigh our options more accurately. Preview Post Reply The Good Trade Team 7 months ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Hi Laura! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. Kotn's in the process of working with farmers to pursue organic certifications and so far, the cotton used is thoughtfully sourced and verified from the Better Cotton Initiative (abiding by sustainable standards!). While not certified organic quite yet, we hope to see that change too in the near future. x - The Good Trade Team Preview Post Reply Jorine 8 months ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Hello!

Preview Post Reply Lauren A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Can someone tell me which is better for the environment. A garment made of 75% tencel & 25% polyester (not recycled), or one made of 100% conventional cotton? Really curious! Preview Post Reply julia 10 months ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes I go with natural fibers as much as possible! I cannot stand polyester but it's OK in small percentage for outerwear like sweaters, jackets and pants for warmer season. Tencel is of natural origin (bamboo or other plant by product) according to www.tencel.com. I have tencel blends and it feels in between silk and linen which is great for summer, though I still love 100% natural because fibers because they are more breathable, healthier for the skin, softer and more luxurious. Preview Post Reply Meagan A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Sarah makes solid comments from a manufacturing perspective. From an additional perspective, polyester is not the best for your body. Synthetic fabrics exacerbate joint issues and aches and pains, because these fabrics do not allow for transfer of energy and grounding. It is also not very breathable and traps in sweat and other toxins trying to come out. Go with cotton (organic and recycled if you can find it) when you can. Preview Post Reply Sarah A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes It depends... Tencel is pretty good but a Tencel poly blend would be hard to recycle. Conventionally produced cotton uses more water for sure. But once you have the textile fibres there’s a whole manufacturing chain with impact on people and the environment all the way along it. Preview Post Reply cecilia A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes A great list! My favorites are SKYE shop-skye.com and Mijeong Park mijeongpark.com. They are both sustainable, ethical and their designs are minimal, classy and elegant. Their pieces are also very reasonably priced considering their unique designs and excellent quality. Preview Post Reply Karen A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Great list. Spanish company called Two Thirds would be a good add. https://twothirds.com/ Preview Post Reply Yvonne A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes So happy to find this list! Will definitely be more conscious of the brands' philosophies and how they are giving back the society. Also, check out moiaccessories.com, they are a Canadian small jewelry store that donates their partial profit to World Vision Canada. It seems rare to me that such a small business decides to go ethical. Preview Post Reply N A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes I think you guys should consider brands like @twenty5degrees that have a specific purpose other than just fighting fast fashion. You can see their site at https://www.twenty5degrees.com We need to support brands that support the ocean. Its taking the brunt of the effects of climate change to this point. Preview Post Reply Dan A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Always great to see such articles which increase awareness of ethical clothing brands. My only gripe is that there is very little choice when it comes to men's fashion. For a unisex and more homouristic range of eco friendly garments try crowear.uk Ethically unhinged, ecologically responsible Preview Post Reply Isabelle A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes This is a great list and I'd love to add one more brand - Almost There - which launched recently. Check it out https://shopalmostthere.com/ Preview Post Reply Amanda A year ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Satori Revolution is definitely worth checking out. Ethically made, and sustainable swimwear and loungewear! Its a gem! I have never found any swimwear as high quality as Satori revolution's collection. www.satorirevolution.com Preview Post Reply Kathy Bonomini 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Hi! Have you heard of the Narativ in Brooklyn? Amazing, led by Farai Simoyi, just amazing, all POC/BOB and totes sustainable to boot. Preview Post Reply Jay 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Interesting list, will definitely do more research on all the above! However, I would reconsider editing the "Based in" category as it could mislead readers to believe the company produces their garments in that country. For example, Levi's is US based despite outsourcing and making their products in China. HQ vs where the products are actually made can overshadow potentially problematic raw materials and/or manufacturing practices.

Been looking for something similar for months! Preview Post Reply The Good Trade Team 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Hi Caitlin! It's a jumpsuit from a clothing brand called Sugar Candy Mountain. Hope it helps! Preview Post Reply Tiffany G 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes I do not know where that specific dress is from, but there are several Linen shops on Etsy that have similar linen wrap dresses. I have bought from several shops on Etsy, located in Lithuania and everyone of them have fit perfectly. A few of them are: Linen Handmade Studio, Linen Fox, Linen Sea and Love and Confuse. Preview Post Reply Sylvette 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Can also recommend Tala (wearetala.com) for active/lazy wear. They don't always have a lot of stock, but their clothes are magically soft and comfy. Preview Post Reply Em 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes I'd request that you change the sizing information for Sotela because their sizing is 0-30 but they aren't a traditional size, a traditional size 4-6 would wear a 1 or a 2 in Sotela, it's far more size inclusive than saying 0-30 makes it seem! Preview Post Reply The Good Trade Team 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Hi Em! Thank you for pointing that out! Sotela offers sizes 0-10, which converts to 0-30 in the US size range, but we've added a link to their size guide for further explanation xx Preview Post Reply Stacey 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Surprised that Lily Kastur isn’t on the list! www.lilykastur.com Preview Post Reply Jessica 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Maggie's Organics is a great ethical clothing brand that makes all the apparel from organic cotton.

Preview Post Reply Cc 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Best organizational structure to an article of this kind I’ve ever seen.

They're amazing! www.kindomshop.com Preview Post Reply lchristinee 2 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Great article..... Thank you for sharing.finding ethical shops or brands is not easy at first, but when you know the brands already, things get easier. All these brands are really good and the most important is these all are nice brands. I could add another store called thewellnessfeed.
