ISO: Sustainable boots

Hiya! I'm searching for a pair of sustainably created boots, think moccasin but without the appropriation. If memory serves (maybe i imagined) there's a Native American design/owned brand that makes mocs. That site would be the ideal solution, I think. TIA

Sustainable Fashion Survey

**CAN YOU HELP THE CLOTHING / FASHION INDUSTRY TO BE MORE SUSTAINABLE?**

Every year 92 million tons of clothing ends up in landfill. If the fashion industry is going to become more sustainable it is important to understand how people feel about different methods of buying, using and disposing of clothes.

I am a 4th year Business Management student at The University of Edinburgh and I would be very grateful if you could spare some time to participate in a short survey. If you are over 18, please click the link below which will take you to the brief, anonymous survey.

Thank you so much!

They have been limiting their comments on IG for the past few months. It seems people were fed up not receiving orders. I liked their model and it just sucks it seems they aren't living up to the hype. It is a circumstance of them growing to big to fast and not having enough workers?

Do you prefer recycling, swapping, renting, or donating your unwanted clothing? 🌳

While many brands claim to implement sustainable models into their business, most are unable to show proof of how much change has been made within their company to contribute to reducing emissions.

To deteriorate this pattern in the industry, we must change as consumers and lean towards a more sustainable approach in consumption. Before adding another piece of item to your wardrobe, ask yourself how many piles of clothing exist on this planet right now. And if your answer starts with a few thousand tonnes, then you might want to reconsider another alternative.

Help make this sub a better place

I took over moderation here a couple of years ago when this sub had much fewer subscribers and almost no content. Since then, it’s grown substantially and the volume of posting has increased to the point where it’s time to put in place some structure. I’d love your help with this.

In the last few days I added a few basic rules and have been actively removing spam. Thank you to those of you who have been reporting posts. You’ll notice self-promotion isn’t outright banned, but there are guidelines to make it clear that you need to give more than you take. I’m thinking of a recurring weekly post dedicated to showing off your brand/blog/etc so there’s a place for those to go.

Sustainable fashion + responsible traveling

I have been traveling for 15 years and when you move around a lot, once in a while you need to refresh your wardrobe. But I hate buying cheap, fast fashion clothing and love supporting local brands wherever I go. It lets me fully immerse in that culture. At the same time, being a light traveler, I hate carrying those clothes around. That’s why I started a new company geared towards travelers who think a bit more sustainably. We are mainly a rental shop and our intention is to promote the circular economy. We are now live in Mexico City and 90% of our items are made locally by luxury Mexican designers.

Just wanted to share it here. ☺️

What are these toxic smells from cheaply made garments?

I'm cleaning out my closet and recycling some old, cheap fast fashion garments I bought years ago before I was buying more sustainably. A denim romper I've had for years has taken on a metallic chemical smell that I believe is a result of the fabric's decay.

I read online that some countries don't regulate the use of dangerous chemicals in fabric preservation processes, which may be what this is. Not to reinforce stereotypes because since I've bought really great products from independent designers in China, but this is the kind of cheap piece you'd find on a website like Wish or something, so the production method isn't transparent.

What do you think about my guess? It's in good shape but with the smell, I cannot justify donating it. My fingers even smell chemically after handling it, so now I'm questioning if it's ok to recycle...

what to do with *very* old shoes?

I have a bunch of very old, very cheap dress shoes petrifying in the back of my closet. They're all "man-made materials" (various forms of synthetic plastics, glues, vinyl, rubber, nylon, etc.), 15-30 years old, and probably too brittle to be worn safely, so I don't want to donate them.

Many of them have thick rubber-like soles that could possibly be recycled/reused. Does anyone know of a designer/company/charity that recycles old shoes (other than sneakers)? I've found articles that list charities that recycle sneakers or distribute "gently worn" shoes to impoverished countries, but my shoes don't fall into either category.

The 1st Week at COP26 – ‘News’worthy or ‘Noise’worthy

The United Nations held the “Conference of the Parties,” or COP, for almost three decades, including the landmark 2015 Paris climate summit. Last year was the 26th meeting. In that time, urgency has ramped up over greenhouse gas emissions, global warming and human-caused climate change. Some key statistics driving the conversations include: https://kaushiksridhar.com/the-1st-week-at-cop26-newsworthy-or-noiseworthy/

Department Store Alternatives [Requesting Brand Recommendations]

So I’m not part of Gen Z, a lot of the sustainable brands do not appeal to my taste in clothing. If, like me, you’re not a teen and/or you don’t feel like the “I sewed a baggy rectangle and called it a work dress” look flatters you: what’s your recommendation?

Over the last couple years most of my purchases have been from Boden. Part of this was that they actually allowed me to sort by fiber/material. In that time the brand has moved away from synthetics to a lot of linen, cotton, and silk. Sequins are replaced by embroidery. Their cotton is nearly all sustainably sourced w/r/t water consumption and appear to also adhered to fair trade standards in terms of labor.

Outside of that store I’m stuck. I pretty much have abandoned department stores because everything is acrylic, polyester, etc. Boden is mostly as quirky as I get. My taste is what some call classic but most call boring: sheath dresses, wool sweaters, jeans and a t shirt, canvas sneakers/duck boots/leather Mocs. Like a mash up of Eddie Bauer, L L Bean, J Jill, etc.

I fully understand that part of sustainability is buying less, but I’m also at a point in my life where the clothes I wore for the last decade are no longer appropriate and whatever I purchase now needs to be appropriate for the next 10 years. And I want to make sure those pieces are coming from manufacturers most in line with my values.

How to Curate a Sustainable Wardrobe That Doesn't Look Like Oatmeal

Shopping sustainable isn't what I imagined it to be...

Upon learning how harmful fast fashion is for the planet and the people making it, I began to search for sustainable clothes. I looked at website after website, article after article, and all I found were plain, soggy clothes. It all looked like wet oatmeal. I continued to look for info on how I could have cute and colorful clothes, and reduce the harm done... is it ok to buy fast fashion if I always donate a bag of clothes when I make a new purchase? Should I just thrift everything? Do I have to learn how to sew?! Here's what I discovered...

Your old clothes will most likely end up in a landfill... even when you donate them.

Even if someone buys them from that thrift shop you sold them to, they'll eventually get thrown out. Selling your old clothes does not erase the harm done when they were made and purchased. When buying clothes, keep in mind who made them. Were they paid properly and treated well? Do the extra research.

Don't even get me started on thrifting!

Who has time to spend hours searching through an unorganized bucket of stained jeans just to find nothing in your size?! With all of the info that's out there on how to thrift for your increasingly unique style, I wanted to help you find items that are actually in your size, don't have nasty stains and smells, and don't look like oatmeal (I'm looking at you, boring sustainable brands). If you're lucky enough to live near an organized vintage or thrift shop, like Good Cycle in Dallas or GG's in Bushwick, those are great options for a quick find.

Making your own clothes is just one solution... if you want to sew your own, use dead-stock and upcycled materials.

A few years ago, I actually started to design and make my own clothes using dead-stock and upcycled materials.

What are dead-stock fabrics?! Dead-stock materials are sheets or rolls of fabric that are collected from fashion companies because they either ordered too much or had a little left over. Check out FabScrap for dead-stock materials that are just as good as brand new rolls of fabric. If you can make it out to their warehouse in Brooklyn, NY, please go!! There's nothing like getting to touch the materials and pick out your favorites in person.

What is upcycling?! Upcycling is the process of taking old clothes and materials and making new things with them. This could mean taking the fabrics of old t-shirts and sewing them together in a new way, or editing an item to have a fresh look.

If you don't want to make your own clothes, shop with brands that upcycle and use dead-stock fabrics.

If you don't want to learn to sew and you don't live near an amazing thrift or vintage shop, shop online with a brand like mine, Turning Tides, that upcycles and uses dead-stock fabrics. The upcycled & dead-stock clothing industry is on the rise and is providing this world with some of the most unique fits I've ever seen!! BONUS: most upcycled items are going to be one-of-a-kind due to the limited amount of that specific fabric. Turning Tides takes upcycling to a whole other level by hand-painting, hand-sewing, and making some of the most unique items I've ever seen. Obviously, I'm biased, but check us out and let me know what you think.

Bruh I hate people who try to use the excuse of being poor to shop fast fashion.

It’s not a good reason and there other ways to get cheep clothes without resorting to contributing to practically slavery and the further destruction of our environment. Thrift stores exist, as well as many church’s that offer to sell or even give away clothing and even toys and books for completely free or for dirt cheep out of charity.
