what to look for
It wasn't so long ago that sustainable fashion was anything but stylish. Today, fashion designers and retailers are making a conscious effort to be more environmentally and socially responsible. You can feel good knowing that your purchasing choices are making a difference.
Look for clothes and accessories that:
- are produced by a company that supports a charitable cause
- are produced responsibly (fair trade, no child labour)
- are made from sustainable materials (organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, recycled water bottles)
- are produced by companies that belong to 1% For The Planet
Getting started:
- The simplest way to find out more about a company's mission and values is to go to its website. You'll often find information on social or environmental initiatives it supports.
