Our Clothing

Avoid Fast Fashion

‍• Think about quality over quantity and timelessness over trendiness.

• Buy only what you need. Most people wear 20% of their clothes 80% of the time.

• Buy fewer quality pieces that are sustainably and ethically produced and wear them more often and for longer.

Avoid Waste

• Repair, maintain, and prolong the life of your clothing.

• Buy second hand. Save clothing from landfills and buy quality ethical clothes at huge discounts.

• Donate no-longer-wanted clothes to a second hand shop or friends/family instead of throwing them out. Or re-sell your clothes online.

• Repurpose old clothing or upcycle into new clothes.

• Use repair/alteration services so you don't have to replace otherwise perfectly good clothing.

• Use a rental service for clothing only worn occasionally.

• Check out clothing brands that have take back recycling programs or mending programs.

Look For Sustainable Materials

• Look for organic and recycled fabrics and fair trade cotton over conventionally grown fibres and virgin synthetic materials.

• Good options include hemp, organic linen, recycled cotton and wool, and cork.

• Good up and coming options include Piñatex, Bananatex, SCOBY leather, S.Cafe (made from recycled coffee grounds), brewed protein, apple leather, vegan wool, Cupro (vegan silk), and milk silk.

• Next best options include bamboo, hemp, linen, organic and fair trade cotton, organic wool, lyocell/tencel/monocel, recycled synthetics, wild silk, deadstock (using manufactured remnants, overstock, or vintage materials), sustainable modal, and ECOVERO.

• Avoid synthetic materials such as acrylic, polyester, nylon, and elastane. These are all made of plastics made from fossil fuels.

• Also avoid clothing made from wool, leather, conventional cotton, conventionally made silk, conventional bamboo, conventional viscose/rayon/modal, and conventional polyester (incl. fleece.)
