7 Sustainable Brands To Shop This Spring
You might be surprised to learn that some of your favorite brands are also eco-friendly.
With a surplus of fast fashion brands saturating the market and designers’ creativity getting spun into Amazon knockoffs, it might be time to switch to more sustainable shopping habits. Upholding ethics like reducing waste, prioritizing recycled materials, and paying workers a living wage are all hallmarks of slow-fashion brands.
Made of high-quality materials, clothes from these environmentally-friendly shops will last a lifetime in your closet. Invest in pieces you and the planet can feel good about with our seven favorite sustainable brands.
Re/Done
Beloved by Bella Hadid, Re/Done is known for gorgeous pieces, namely upcycled denim like this patchwork pair ($495). Along with jeans, the brand has a collaboration with Hanes, creating vintage-style tees from recycled cotton.
BITE Studios
95% of the materials used to create the brand’s luxe, timeless clothes — such as these wide-legged trousers ($470) — are organic, recycled, or low-impact. Along with the pieces themselves, BITE is dedicated to paying its workers a living wage.
Marine Serre
With its iconic lunar print and distinctly French DNA, Marine Serre loyalists will be delighted to learn of the brand’s sustainable policies. Many of its pieces, such as this flirty skirt ($813), is made from upcycled materials.
Cuyana
Designed to stay in your closet forever, Cuyana’s philosophy is all about curating a minimal wardrobe of classic pieces. The brand works closely with suppliers to ensure environmental responsibility. Shop this slinky silk dress ($195), along with other high-quality basics, at their website.
House Of Sunny
You’ve probably seen the infamous Hockney dress everywhere by now, but did you know that House Of Sunny is also sustainable. They release each of their playful pieces, like this adorable jumper ($137), in small biannual collections to reduce waste and join the fight against fast fashion.
Arlokea
Black-owned and artisan-made, Arlokea supports marginalized individuals with their locally-sourced accessories, such as these marble earrings ($30.50) made from clay. The brand supports local craftspeople and other communities with their charitable initiatives.
Reformation
A brand you know and love, with policies you can feel good about — Reformation is a favorite for a reason. Stylish but never too trendy, their garments are crafted by fairly-paid workers from low-impact materials, such as this romantic top ($128).
