20 Sustainable Clothing Brands you should check out

First, there are some questions that we feel need to be answered.

What makes a brand sustainable?

Sustainability is an extremely complex concept, and what sustainable fashion means is subjective. At the end of the day, the only 100% sustainable option would be to go our naked, 365 days a year. Unfortunately, this is not possible so… it is a matter of compromises! One thing is certain, materials and ethicality are the pillars of fashion sustainability! A brand is responsible, as we prefer to say, when it uses materials that are both good for the skin and do not damage the environment; moreover, its supply chain should all be ethical, offering safe labor condition to the workers, and not harming animals in the processes!

Here’s what sustainable fashion means to the following:

• A digital designer
• A co-founder of a swapping app
• A graphic designer
• A second-hand seller

Here are 20 brands that will surprise you — selected upon who we feel is taking the most action while generating positive impact – pioneering change in the fashion industry as we know it.

From advancing innovative technology, to supporting green grassroots groups, planting trees, using eco packaging, and many more.Sustainability in fashion is key to support climate transition, and ensure future generations can enjoy nature and all of Earth’s beauty for years to come, but not only. Sustainability is an entire world of values linked to human, animal wellbeing and new ways to enjoy expressing ourselves. Discover them here.
