This was asked a while back and I'm hoping for fresh suggestions. I love brands like Lucy and Yak, Olive and Thought but I'm looking for something a bit sexier, for lack of a better word! Something similar to Reformation, preferably UK based but I know that's quite limiting.

Hi all, if you're aged between 18-25 I'd be really grateful if you could fill in my survey for my master's thesis- it asks questions about sustainable fashion and takes ~5 minutes.
Thank you!
If you read through their About-page you see that actually all their products are sustainable and vegan-friendly. Found it kinda cool so thought I would share it here. They also seem to just get started if you look at their instagram. I like it when brands innovate in new markets, especially when its vegan and sustainable..
Hey guys! I have to move up north pretty soon. I’ve been struggling to find sustainably heavy snow coats. Do you guys have a go to?
I've been looking but can't find anywhere to buy. Specifically for those newer styles everyone seems to be wearing, young women atleast. Like the oversized ones.
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to write my Bachelor's Thesis in the field of Marketing with a focus on sustainable fashion. I started to research and there are so many interesting aspects within this topic. Moreover, does my Prof. want me to focus on specific consumer behavior and how it affects marketing strategies. Of course, I started to research and greenwashing/digitalization, where one of the major topics. But I thought that it's never a bad idea to get more inputs and suggestions. So, I would be more than happy to get some replies for more research aspects! :)

Hi there,
I'm a university student currently writing my dissertation. The subject area is 'What factors are responsible for the difference between what Gen Z say about sustainability and their purchasing habits? ' and so far I have found some received some interesting feedback.
If you're interested in this topic, could you please help me out by filling out this survey.
It only takes a minute and is hugely appreciated.
Thank you very much! :)
Hi everyone! First post in the community and I have a burning question:
Vegan leather. What is it? Vegan leather can be just plastic right? After googling a polymer/polyurethane blend. Are most brands rebranding "pleather" as "vegan leather", because honestly, genius. (Shitty bit very smart)
I know that vegan leathers can also be made out of pulps from natural waste such as cork or leaves etc, but I have yet to ever see a brand specify when they use natural materials or not in there clothing (aside from Patagonia maybe.)
I just wanted to strike up a conversation that : just because it's branded as vegan it doesn't necessarily mean it's doing any favours for the planet.
Anyway, thanks guys! Go save the world 💗
Hello, journal/notebook lovers!
I have a hard time finding well-designed, minimalist journals that are also eco-friendly and sustainable, so I decided to design one myself!
I'm developing a completely sustainable notebook/journal made out of tree-free paper alternatives (like hemp, wheat, seed paper) for people who care about the environment, design aesthetics, and quality products.
Would you be open to taking the below survey so I can better understand what you'd want out of a sustainable notebook?
https://form.jotform.com/213346067640150
I'll be raffling off two $25 gift cards to the sustainable brand of your choice as a thank you. Winners will be chosen on February 1!
Thank you and happy journaling!
PS my apologies if this violates the rules -- feel free to delete if so.
Being an advertiser in the Fashion industry and serving eco-fashion brands, I've noticed that there seems to be a conflict between hardcore sustainable brands and the fundamental principles of business (which is to grow and make a profit). As a result, many brands I talk to remain small and struggle for cash flow, using terms like 'greenwashing' to describe any moderately successful brand. Delivering slow, eco-friendly, sustainable fashion at scale seems to be a sticking point, opening the door for 'so-called' less sustainable brands that are more focused on growth.
So my question is. How does sustainable fashion ever become the dominant niche without consumer habits changing? And how does an eco brand overcome the challenge of hyper-growth and hypocrisy? Or is the whole point of the movement to kill off the fashion industry?
I will add that my agency focuses on growing sustainable brands since I feel the advertising industry is partly (if not entirely) responsible for the growth of fast fashion. Serving truly ethical brands is my way of giving back what my peers have taken from the industry. So feel free to DM me if you'd like to chat..

Hi, do any of you know of long sleeved shirts made of cotton or hemp that also have high SPF levels?
I have some plastic based shirts that have 30 SPF, and one with 50 SPF. I have to watch my sun exposure, and I work outdoors a lot, but I'd prefer to buy natural fibers next time around. I just have my doubts that I can get high SPF with natural fibers unless there's lots of bunching up or layers, similar to traditional middle eastern ways of dressing.
40% of all clothes made end up on the landfill or in the oven without ever have touched a human body. This madness must stop!!
We're going to start a fashion revolution with 'overproduced' Socks and we need your help! How? Learn the ugly truth and how we want to fund the solution with the problem itself. First step, stop wearing socks in pairs but see them as individuals, you'll get more miles out of each sock (thus less waste) and you'll make a sustainable fashion statement!
Want to learn more about our revolution and our solution, visit our Kickstarter page.
I need to buy a £20 Secret Santa present for my cousin who's into sustainable fashion and fashion in general. Please can you help me find the perfect present!!
Unless I am mistaken, I feel like a lot of ethical and sustainable fashion brands are very gender specific to women's clothing. Does anybody have any other examples?
Thanks
It's a Canadian brand based in BC
Does anyone know of a european, possibly German, women's clothing company which takes orders on each item before manufacturing them so as not to waste? It's a specific company, I would like to surprise my girlfiriend with a particular item. I think I'll know the name when I hear it. Any help would be appreciated

Hi everyone so winter has hit Switzerland like a truck and I am in desperate need of sustainable and ethically sourced warm fleece lined tights. I’m specifically looking for pale skin toned ones. Can anybody help me out and suggest a shop that selld them? Thanks :)
I am a small artist looking to start out a graphic design t shirt brand mostly sold around artist alleys at conventions. I've been trying to research good bulk brands to but from but I'm having trouble. Obviously I'm also trying to balance cost, comfort, and quality as well but I'd love it if I could put my work on clothes that are doing better for the world than most.
My first thought was Alternative Apparel since the t shirt shop I used to work at swore by them but that was back in 2010 before Hanes bought them. I guess now they've let their better practices slip from what I hear.
Any help is appreciated!
I want to get my sister some funky sustainable clothes for Chirstmas but I only know lucy & yak which are my FAVS but looking for somewhere different as I've rinsed there. I try and have a look but there's not much - expensive woolan jumpers and sports clothes. Does anyone know anywhere good?
Hello all! I am a current graduate student at the University of Delaware in the Department of Fashion and Apparel Studies. I am in the process of researching the Meta-commerce as a third mode of retail shopping (brick and mortar/physical stores and e-commerce are the first two modes) for a final project. Meta-commerce is the integration of the physical world and the digital world.
If you would be so kind to fill out this consumer survey, I would be very grateful! I am interested in your enjoyment and preference for e-commerce or meta-commerce shopping. The survey is anonymous and will be closed on Thursday, December 9.
Thank you!
So I found this really cool South African jewelry brand that uses e-waste, like from phones and computers, and makes it into jewelry, something I haven't really seen before. It's all handcrafted and recycled which sound amazing!
I then started wondering if I should buy it as a Christmas present, but since I live in Sweden there would be quite a bit of shipping. So I'm debating with myself whether this shipping would outweigh the sustainability of buying from this company 😬
Anyone care to weigh in on the topic?

So, while wearing a black knit sweater, I leaned up against a surface that had a bleach cleaning solution on it, and of course, the bleach damaged the sweater and left this burnt-orange/red blotch on the front of it.
I don't really want to throw away this sweater or buy a new one (trying to limit my landfill impact as well as trying to only buy 2nd hand), and I don't want to fill my washing machine with black dye, so I'm wondering: do y'all have any tips to continue this bleachy look on the entire sweater (that seems to be the fashion, now, anyway).
It's a long-sleeve black sweater with an asymmetrical bottom hem. It's 70% viscose, if that matters. I don't want to melt the fabric, but the reddish blotch looks kind of nice, and I feel like it could look good all over.
Thanks!
