Now more than ever, it is important for consumers and brands to think more sustainably to look after the environment. Gladly, many players in the sustainable fashion brands industry are paying more attention to the environmental crisis and making greener choices.
Being more green with fashion goes further than the labels you choose to buy from. Whether it’s embracing the rental market, shopping at sustainable destinations, or opting for second-hand rather than buying new ones, there are many steps you can take for greener choices. If you are shopping new, there are various sustainable ways to do so. There are numerous sustainable fashion brands that are working hard to carve out a green space in the fashion industry.
Here are some of the sustainable brands to look out for.
1. Christy Dawn
To ensure they are protecting the environment, Christy Dawn creates its main character and romantic dresses from leftover fabrics or regenerated cotton from land they steward themselves. Simply put it like this, regenerative farming makes the earth greener and helps the ground to absorb carbon. For their recent “farm-to-closet” collection, the brand partnered with the Oshadi collective to regeneratively farm all of the used cotton. They estimate the local land observed 400 tons of carbon.
2. MATE the label
Head to Mate for trendless and comfortable basics that will stand the test of time like linen sets, t-shirts and tanks, and sweatpants. Mate is Climate Neutral certified, and all of its products are sewn, cut, dyed and knitted in LA near their offices, eliminating unnecessary transport emissions.
MATE only uses Global Organic Textile Standard cotton and organic, low-impact and non-toxic dyes in all of its pieces.
3. Naomi-Nomi
Naomi-Nomi is a New York-based brand known for its silk scarves and oxford shirts but from the past few years, the company has expanded into linen work and bike shorts. They also sell scrunchies, headbands, cotton masks, and bookmarks made up from leftover scraps. The brand carefully chooses its fabrics from lyocell to merino wool and sustainably sourced silk.
4. Pact
Pact is a go-to brand for sustainable sweater dresses, cardigans and everything cosy, making them a must-order brand. The brand is a member of Fair Trade USA. The best thing about this brand is its breezy and soft sleepy sets made from Global Organic Textile Standard. The brand also offers adorable kids collections made in Fair Trade practices.
5. Girlfriend Collective
Girlfriend Collective uses fabric scraps, fishing nets and post-consumer water bottles to make its sports bra, bike shorts and leggings which come in sizes XXS to 6XL. Even its trendy workout outfit is made up of 90 per cent recycled plastic and the scrunchies are made from scraps to reduce textile waste.
