Has anyone else noticed how much greenwashing there is in sustainable fashion?
I've been deep diving into this for a while now, especially in the swimwear space, and the more I learn the more frustrated I get. A lot of "recycled" fabrics still use harsh chemicals in manufacturing or require insane amounts of water to produce. The recycled label sounds great on paper but the actual production process can be just as damaging. So much for “eco-friendly”!
…and finding anything that's actually made in the US? Nearly impossible in this category. When tracing the supply chain of some of these "sustainable" options, I have found that they are still shipping yarn or fabric and finished products across oceans which kind of defeats the purpose of keeping it local to reduce the carbon footprint!
My ideal would be something like recycled plastic/ trash from US coastlines repurposed into swimwear, all manufactured domestically. Small carbon footprint, no cross-ocean shipping. Does anything like this actually exist or am I being delusional?
Curious what others have found: are brands just settling for low thresholds, slapping a label on & calling it? Is there anyone that is truly end-to-end walking the walk? I get that there’s no perfect solution, genuinely interested in ideas we can incorporate into our process!

How to shop fashion sustainably?
Hi everyone. I want to ask for advice on how to shop sustainably, or more ethical and eco-friendly. What's your shopping process?
My experience in the Philippines is shop in thrift shops or look for overruns, and repair clothes I already have. Unfortunately I haven't seen any sustainable brands and have any thrift finds where they make fashion I prefer, which is usually gen z fashion that you find on pinterest. Mainly but nit limited to streetwear, academia, and y2k I think they're called. A brand I found that fits these is Carmico.
Another problem I have is I was thinking of buying something from the thrift store and just customize it to my liking to a tailor. But when I tried customization before, I wasn't really satisfied with the results. And as of now I'm not really interested in making my own clothes. Do you have any tips? Thanks!
