Fast fashion is bad for the environment. Cheap, disposable clothing usually contains synthetic fibres, microplastics made from fossil fuels, use enormous amounts of water and toxic dyes in their manufacture, and have a heavy carbon footprint.
Sustainable fashion aims to minimise the environmental and social impact of the fashion industry by promoting ethical and eco-friendly practices.
This can involve using organic and sustainable materials, such as bamboo or hemp; reducing waste, recycling and upcycling, and supporting fairer conditions and wages for workers.
Thank you for supporting these sustainable fashion brands that are making a real difference in one of the worst polluting industries…
