I’ve waxed poetic on the importance of making principled decisions in our purchases. But let’s get practical because researching brands is a huge pain in the tush. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Sustainable, responsible brands embrace at least two (and preferrably more) of the following:
- Oeko-Tex Certified
- Bluesign Certified
- Fair trade Certified
- 100% Organic Cotton/Hemp/Wool
- Reclaimed & Recycled Polyester/Wool
- Responsible Wool Standard
- Responsible/Traceable Down Standard
- Fair Labor Accreditation
I hope this will become a running list of the best sustainable, responsible clothing brands we can find for both men and women.
