I’m in Canada and I recently bought some items on sale from Pact. The items said “Final Sale: No returns or exchanges”, but why does the website let me create returns and return shipping labels for these items?
I bought the wrong size, so I was hoping to send them back and re-order the correct sizes. If I shipped them with the return label, do you think they’d reject them?
A recurring thread for talking about things related to sustainable fashion. Be nice.
Hey r/SustainableFashion,
When looking at independent labels built around traditional artisanal craft, natural botanical dyes, and raw earth-based textiles, what makes you genuinely want to support and invest in a piece?
With so many brands marketing "sustainability," what details make a craft-forward garment actually resonate with you?
Artisanal Value: Does the depth of traditional craft techniques (heritage hand-stitching, regional artisan partnerships, botanical dye processes) make an item feel worth a higher investment?
Modern Wearability: Do you prefer craft-led pieces that lean into timeless, modern silhouettes you can wear regularly, or do you view them more as special occasion / statement pieces?
Trust & Connection: What type of storytelling or process transparency helps you feel genuinely connected to a piece rather than feeling sold to?
Curious to hear what turns an artisanal, nature-dyed piece into something you truly cherish in your wardrobe.
I've been going through my wardrobe lately and realized I have quite a few clothes I don't really wear anymore, but they're still perfectly usable.
Got me wondering what do you guys usually do with clothes like that?
Do you donate them, give them to friends/family, sell them, give them away online, or just keep them because you might wear them someday?
Just curious how other people deal with this.
Before entering the handloom and sustainable fashion business, i thought I understood textiles reasonable well.
I was wrong.
One of the biggest things I have learned is that a handloom product isn't simply a product. Behind it is a person, a skill, a community and often generations of knowledge.
I am still learning, but I am curious - what makes you personally value a handloom product over a machine made one?
Is it Craftsmanship? The story? Quality? Sustaonability? Cultural connection?
Because the most sustainable clothing is what already exists, show off your thrifted pieces here!
How do I start my own vintage clothing business? I need something Y2K-style, fairy-tale, and stylish, preferably from the Philippines or Thailand. Help?
What's the most eco-friendly way to get rid of my clothes, I don't wanna just give a huge bag to some overcrowded charity shop that's gonna throw everything in landfill, and I don't necessarily need to make money off of fast-fashion items and sell them on vinted. They're all well looked after but I'm not going through the effort of listing my thrifted primark finds for £2 per item
I know oxfam has a really good recycling system so maybe them? I would just live for these clothes to go to as useful places as possible, I know I can't control what people do with it after I give it away but I'd like to try my best to do my part
Info about me:
I've had to move houses a lot in the past 3 years so that's resulted in a lot of storing and rebuying, now I have a storage locker with all my stuff in one place and I'm planningbon getting rid of about 5 black bin bags worth of clothes, many of which I've barely worn, nothing is stained or damaged so I would love if it could all find a decent home.
Thanks Reddit
I just started my ethical clothing journey! 😊 👚
Finally summer and spring clothes in ethically/sustainable fabrics seemed super easy! (lots of organic cotton/silk, & linen which was fairly easy to find!)
But, I am now starting to shop for more fall and winter clothes. It seems like finding really cute winter and fall clothes is a bit more difficult. Finding long sleeve cotton shirts is fine, but I prefer really fun, cute printed knit sweaters! I have found a few plain color knit sweaters, but all plain is not really my style! 🤪🙃
Most printed sweaters are made of polyester and acrylic, & really wanna avoid those. Does anyone have any recommendations of brands that sell cute but ethical printed knit sweaters?
Looking for linen clothes for summer /outdoor wear and was curious what are some good but affordable brands ?
