Here are 15 of my favorite sustainable fashion brands!
OhSevenDays
OhSevenDays takes a unique approach to sustainable clothing by using “fashion’s leftovers” to create their women’s clothing. Instead of allowing off-cut fabric rolls to enter the landfill, founder Megan Mummery saw an opportunity to transform unwanted fabric scraps into stunning styles.
Everlane
Everlane approaches sustainability with a high level of transparency into their factories, sourcing processes, and materials. In an unprecedented move, the company also shares details of exactly how much it costs to make their clothing.
Cuyana
One of my favorite brands, (and local to my home city of San Francisco!) Cuyana is the perfect place to stock up on women’s clothing essentials, especially since they’re offering 15% sitewide right now. Their clothing philosophy is to choose fewer but better quality clothing pieces to minimize your closet and impact on the environment without sacrificing on design. They also use eco friendly materials like tencel, which is sourced from wood pulp.
Naadam
It’s hard to resist the soft touch of Cashmere, and Naadam offers the most sustainable cashmere you’ll find. Their Mongolian cashmere is ethically sourced and used throughout their line of men’s and women’s clothing, including sweaters, cardigans, and loungewear.
Tradlands
Tradlands shuns the fast fashion world in favor of clothes that are made to last. They’re focused on clothing essentials that are also versatile and reflect your unique tastes and personality.
VETTA
Known for their 5-piece capsule collections, VETTA believes that a minimalist wardrobe can also be a powerfully complete one. They’re also invested in sustainability from the ground up, including using solar energy to power their factories and using renewable materials like organic cotton and Tencel (a material made from sustainably sourced wood pulp).
My Picks
Elizabeth Suzann
Elizabeth Suzann is a slow fashion brand designed and developed in Nashville, TN and sold direct to consumer. This alone allows them to be more sustainable by simplifying the supply chain and reflects their vision to eliminate anything from their processes that’s not essential. In addition, each piece they create is thoughtfully designed and mindful when it comes to reducing waste and made only from natural fibers that, like a good wine, get better over time.
TwoFold Clothing
Two Fold Clothing was built on the foundation of environmental and social responsibility. They place a high importance on fabric quality to create pieces that last longer and give you your money’s worth.
Eileen Fisher
Eileen Fisher offers a stunning lineup of responsible fabrics, including organic linen, organic cotton, and recycled fibers. Their light and airy pieces are naturally beautiful and flatter any figure.
Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney is one of the biggest designers embracing sustainability at every possible level. From materials like re-engineered cashmere to eco-friendly innovation, you can shop online or at one of 50+ freestanding locations in the U.S.
Epoque Evolution
Epoque Evolution focuses on simplicity in the materials they use. The designers take care to avoid gentle fabrics that need dry cleaning or otherwise won’t last for the long haul. Their choice of fabrics include organic materials, deadstock, and recycled fibers, among others.
Outerknown
Outerknown provides fashion for men and women and considers every detail when it comes to sustainability. The eco-conscious decisions they make involve everything from suppliers to materials to circular design and more.
HopeMade
Colombia-based HopeMade takes the guesswork out of ethical shopping. They offer everything from fashion to home goods to handbags and other gift-worthy items.
Thought
Bamboo, hemp, and organic cotton are the chief materials Thought uses in their fashion designs. Even better, their sale section is jam packed with great styles at a discount.
Hackwith Design House
Hackwith Design House launched with just one item back in 2013. Today, they’ve grown to offer thoughtfully designed pieces while focusing more on quality than quantity.
