Sustainable Brands to Shop From This Year

Over the last few years, sustainable fashion has become a big thing in the glamour industry, with big names and brands advocating for it. While that’s a huge step in the right direction, a lot of the big brands are using sustainability as a marketing and PR tactic. But there are plenty of brands that are truly committed to the environment. We will review some of these below.

O2 Monde

O2 Monde crafts shoes that benefit the planet by replacing animal hides and synthetic plastics with plant-based skins.  From insoles to adhesives and uppers, their shoes aren’t just vegan, they’re clean. They’re handmade in one of Italy’s local factories by generational artisans with ethical conditions and fair wages. O2 Monde also donates 1% of their profits to “1% FOR THE PLANET“.

Gâala

Gâala is a locally owned small business founded by Kelly de Gaalon and Alexander Zhalezka in Paris, France that sells dresses. Gâala designs use production leftovers, deadstock fabrics, and other low impact natural materials. The silks are sourced from production leftovers in Hangzhou, China. 

 Looking to make as small a footprint as possible, they have chosen to use fabric remnants and a variety of leftover cotton, viscose and wool fabrics as well as deadstock linen in their collections. Each of their pieces is created in a workshop where a safe and ethical work environment with above average wages is provided for each member of their team.

Reformation

Reformation uses renewable, plant-based or recycled fibers like TENCEL (made from renewable wood materials). They also minimize their ecological footprint by investing in green infrastructure. In addition,  Reformation also puts out quarterly sustainability reports for transparency and public accountability.

Natra Care:

When we think of environmental degradation feminine, hygiene products don’t usually come to mind. But as multiple studies will tell you, most of our sanitary products contain plastic and other non biodegradable ingredients which make them difficult to dispose.

That’s why Natra Care uses only organic and natural materials (cotton) in all their menstrual pads, incontinence pads and maternity pads instead of perfumes, chlorine, dyes and pesticides. Their raw materials are also biodegradable and sourced ethically. Instead of Natra Care is cruelty-free and ranked the Top brand for menstrual products by ‘The Ethical Company Organisation’. All their materials are sustainable and FSC/PEFC certified. They also donate 1% of their turnover to environmental causes.
