8 Ethical Clothing Labels To Make Shopping Easy
As shoppers, we are becoming increasingly aware of the what we’re purchasing and where it comes from.
The drive towards making ethical clothing purchases has gained significant traction, but finding these fashion labels is not always clear-cut.
We’ve put together a list of ethical clothing companies to consider when making your next purchase. Did I forget to add how gorgeous the clothes are!
1. KUYICHI
The founders of KUYICHI started their journey in 2001 with a vision to create quality fashion in a 100% sustainable and responsible way. The Dutch brand doesn’t believe sustainability is just a trend and accept it as their mission to make a change in the fashion world of today. Since they started, they have continued to inspire and influence other fashion brands to follow suit.
2. Kowtow
New Zealand label Kowtow produces certified fair trade organic clothing that is made with ethical and sustainable processes from seed to garment. Founder, Gosia Piatek, told the NZ Herald that when she launched the label it was out of a “genuine desire to see people thrive and be happy” and not as a marketing ploy. The label has a stunning range of unique fashion pieces that prove ethical clothing doesn’t need to compromise on style.
3. Liminal Apparel
Liminal Apparel is another New Zealand brand that sells Freeset products at a comparable price to your regular unethical brands. Freeset is a fair trade business the offers women employment that are trapped in Kolkata’s sex trade. Â The women are fairly paid, taught written and practical skills, and make ethical clothing and accessories using organic cotton. Liminal Apparel is a great example of how ethical shopping really can change lives.
4. AS Colour
AS Colour is WRAPÂ certified and hand-picked factories are required to have safe, fair, legal and humane working conditions. Their philosophy is based around manufacturing quality basics, so expect this apparel to stand the test of time. No need to fall victim to fast-fashion with this label.
