5 Ethical Clothing Brands To Update Your Wardrobe

Warmer weather, sunshine and longer days are finally here. This means one thing: spring and summer clothes! We love our lab-created diamonds and ethical engagement rings, and when it comes to clothes, we love brands that also craft ethically-made clothing and accessories. We thought it would be fun to share 5 ethical clothing brands to update your wardrobe this season.

The Fabric Social

All of the fabrics created for The Fabric Social’s clothing has been ‘woven with care’ by artisans in Northeast India. They maintain traditional methods for creating fabrics and textiles, supporting local producers and villages to provide a living for many individuals. They provide fair working conditions for all employees and let the fabric producers set their own price for every meter of fabric they create. On top of that, they also focus heavily on being sustainable and eco-friendly with their fabrics, low-waste patterns and non-toxic dyes.

Victoria Road

The main motto for Victoria Road is ‘bridging cultures through design’ and that’s exactly what their team has been able to accomplish. When CEO and Co-Founder Shannon Grewer traveled to Pakistan in 2010, she returned to the USA eager to share what she saw during her travels. Victoria Road puts culture at its forefront and proudly supports local artisans and entrepreneurs and has created an inclusive supply chain to share their fashion. They guarantee their Lahore employees are paid livable wages and provided benefits as well as acknowledging the traditional holidays such as Ramadan, and providing gifts for those holidays. They strive to minimize their carbon footprint by using locally made fabrics and up-cycling their own scrap under a zero-waste policy.
