Sustainable clothing brands for a greener world
The fast fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Not only is clothing production harmful to our planet but to people who work in the industry. Several big fast fashion brands have been called out for unethical operations in which clothing is produced, including child labor, watershed pollution, and lack of workers’ health provision.
As a response, brands are becoming increasingly conscious about the environment and have started working towards an eco-friendly approach. This includes promoting circular economy and ethical production methods, such as low-impact dying, upcycling materials, and using organic pesticide-free natural fabrics.
We hand-picked some of the best eco-friendly clothing labels in Europe for a sustainable fashion ethical wardrobe. For traveling, work, and everyday looks. Check them out!
