After the Shein/Everlane news, how are you actually verifying sustainability claims of a brand?

The greenwashing is getting way out of hand now. I used to rely on brands like Everlane for my basics, but with the recent buyout news, I am definitely really disappointed.

It seems like every brand slaps an "eco-friendly" tag (yes you H&M and Zara) on their site now just because they threw a bit of recycled polyester or other recycled material into a shirt.

I was scrolling the B Corp directory and found a few brands like Tentree and OGL that seem to have actual, audited closed-loop manufacturing, which supposedly keep the toxins closed off and not into the environment. But is checking these directories the only way we can verify what’s really going on behind the scenes now? How do you vet?

What is something you’d like to see more in the sustainable fashion sector?

Is there a certain style/aesthetic you wish was more available? Or is there a particular garment you’d like to see? Is there a fabric you want to see more of?

I’d love to hear your thoughts as I’m hoping to sell some of my upcycled and repurposed creations.

I find that alternative styles (eg. hyperfeminine, goth etc.) aren’t so easy to find but maybe you have a different experience.

Any fashion brand owners here?

I am working on starting my company soon and facing a few sourcing problems. Could you please help me?

Would be truly grateful

Q1) Where do you source fabrics from and especially like sustainable fabrics?

Q2) How do you trust if the fabrics are truly sustainable?

Q3) Does anyone else find it really difficult to find these suppliers?

Also does anyone else also find it to be a bit exhausting to find the right fabric and coordinate with them??? I know it’s a process. Trying my best to learn at every point.

What are good prescription glasses brands these days that offer lots of style options without being a total rip off?

I remember looking into this years ago and hearing how companies like luxottica basically own every big brand and just slap insane prices on them. So I looking for independent brands that make quality glasses at a reasonable price. Moscot is recommended a lot but they're even more expensive than luxottica owned brands and companies like zennie just seem like cheap crap you'd find at a servo. Brands like warby parker and gentle monster are popular for trendy styles without paying insane designer markups. Some other brands also gaining traction. They’ve got a huge variety of frames and people seem pretty happy with the prices (I am leaning towards this actually).

What do you guys recommend? Do I have to fork out hundreds for quality glasses or are there some hidden gems out there that offer style, quality and affordability?

Does anyone else feel like Indian fashion brands are selling polyester as premium and just... not telling you?

So I have been thinking about this for a while and wanted to get some honest opinions from people who actually pay attention to what their clothes are made of.

Something I keep noticing is that a lot of brands, especially Indian D2C ones but honestly globally too, market themselves as considered or premium but are still using polyester and synthetic blends. The photography is beautiful, the pricing signals quality, but the label tells a completely different story. And most consumers never find out until it is already in their hands.

I looked into it and 59% of all clothing made globally is still synthetic. Which feels like a massive problem that the fashion industry is very quietly not talking about.

A few things I wanted to ask this community specifically because I feel like you would have real opinions on this:

When you are shopping, especially online, how do you actually verify what something is made of before buying? Do you trust brand claims or do you have a way of checking?

Have you found any brands, at any price point, that are genuinely transparent about fabric composition and sourcing in a way that feels real rather than just marketing?

Do you think most consumers outside of sustainability communities actually care about this or is it still quite niche? Asking because I am trying to understand how big this problem really is beyond people who are already paying attention.

And if a brand gave you complete transparency, not just sustainability claims but literally the name of the person who made your piece, the exact fabric cost, where it came from would that change how much you were willing to pay for something?

Genuinely curious because I feel like the conversation around sustainable fashion focuses a lot on environmental impact but less on the basic consumer deception angle. Would love to hear what people actually think
