So I am looking for something durable and 100% cotton, preferably organic. I really like the quilted look on sweaters but the only two I can find are the Patagonia quilted quarter snaps which I have read fall apart and aren't durable. There are also the tentree ones but those are a polyester blend. I know their polyester is recycled but I was hoping for a natural fibre for sensitive skin. I know LL Bean makes a 1/4 zip waffle knit organic cotton but that isn't the texture I'm looking for and they aren't a super ethical brand so I don't want to buy something from them.

Does a durable, preferably quilted and organic, cotton quarter snap exist?

Hi everyone, I just came across this skirt, and I love how it’s a skirt that looks like a flannel shirt tied around your waist. However, it is sold on Shein, which I don’t support, and it is too short for my modesty standards. I’ve been searching for a dupe that goes past the knees and is from a more ethical brand. I am plus size, my waist is 44”, so it would need to fit that. I’m willing to spend up to $100 on this. I am open to buying second hand. If anyone has seen anything like this, please share!

I looked through Reddit for posts about ThredUP, and a lot of them were old or didn't have a lot of interaction to show how people truly feel about it so I decided to make a post :)

EDIT: the downvotes are confusing

I’m in Colorado and curious to learn about style and fashion. For example, the history of fashion or finding my personal style. I’m not sure what else I can learn but would appreciate some ideas. Can anyone recommend how or where to start? I have a good public library and also have streaming services + YouTube:)

I’m looking for comfortable wear around the house clothes for plus size women. Something I can wear when it’s summer and something else for winter. All I have now is a loose low rise pair of sweatpants from GAP, but they’re too hot for summer. I want to make sure the fabric I use is good for my sensitive skin, such as natural fibers

Edit: I’m in the US

I bought these boots years ago when I didn't know much about ethical purchasing (from Shein I think) they're pretty much at the end of their life, and I'm sure being from a company like that they're a dupe of something much more sustainable, though everywhere I look that has something similar seems to be fast fashion. I live in Canada if anyone knows of where I can get a good version of these?

Hey guys,

Maybe you can help me out :)

I am looking for some classy, maybe english or italian style fashion brands, that produce their clothes in europe. (I am based in Germany btw) I already found some brands like teym, twothirds, jannjune but they are very basic OR don't quite have the style I am looking for. I was hoping to find something similiar to bare knuckles or ghiaia cashmere (which is expensive as hell) or COS (i know, fast fashion but they do have nice pieces). It doesn't have to be 100% europe based, but at least manufactured in europe.

I hope it is kind of understable what I wrote haha.

Thank you in advance :))

Edit: I am male.

Been looking everywhere and all i can find is some box ts on Alibab. I am looking for a box t shirt / cropped shirt manufacturer, does anyone know any with high quality shirts?

Hello! All of my clothes from fast fashion places are slowly Falling apart and/or I need a slightly bigger size and I would like to start replacing my wardrobe.

When I google sustainable clothing brands I have no idea what brands are actually sustainable.And I was wondering if there were any articles you recommended on how to find brands that are actually sustainable and not green washing.

I am looking for clothes on the affordable end and clothes from natural materials. Right now im looking for a few basics like some shirts, a pair of jeans, and new bras and underwear.

If anyone would like to give me pointers on how to pick out ethical brands and what your favorite affordable clothing brands are I would really appreciate it! Thank you!!!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for ethical brands that manufacture closer to state, ideally in my country or a neighboring region.I'm trying to be more conscious about my fashion choices and reduce my carbon footprint. Buying locally would significantly cut down on shipping emissions, right? Does anyone know of any resources or websites that list brands based on their manufacturing location and if they ship to my country/state (alaska)?

I've been struggling to find this kind of information, so any tips or recommendations would be super helpful. Let's build a more sustainable wardrobe together!

hi everyone !! i want to make my own accessories, specially things to hang off my pants, so im looking to buy chains in bulk to work with !! id need something that ships internationally, since i do not live in america and am iffy on using aliexpress/alibaba . any reccomendations? thank you in advance !!

Bought this at a flee market, and I didn’t have the time to google the brand.I don’t want to own or wear it if it is fast fashion. The brand is Exxtacy, I couldn’t find anything like it when I tried to google it. The text says “Panama”.

I’m really trying to avoid fast fashion as much as I can but I always see some cute stuff that I can never find in stores near me like random dresses and such if anyone has a brand that ships to the Middle East please let me know!

I made an unexpectedly controversial post where I asked why more people in r/FrugalFemaleFashion don't buy high-quality clothes used at thrift stores, on online thrift stores (Poshmark, eBay, Realreal, threadup, craiglist...etc) and I got (am still getting) a lot of hate for it. One of the most prevalent comments was that I was being judgmental and even "privileged" or even "classist" to have this opinion because apparently thrifting your clothes is a privileged activity?

As someone who grew up always wearing second-hand clothes (while my friends wore expensive brand-new clothes), I don't understand how thrifting/buying second-hand is "privileged"? Historically, buying second-hand has always been considered something that people with less privilege do. As I kid it sometimes bothered me that my parents rarely ever bought me new clothing, but now as an adult (and having access to awesome online thrift sites that make it extremely easy to buy amazing brands for 1/5 the original retail price) I enjoy it and see the wisdom in doing so.

Other people said it's a privileged take because it's hard to find items of unusual sizes. As someone who is an unusual (and often challenging to find) size, I've still managed to find almost everything I want for a great deal second-hand.

I do understand that not every country has access to great thrifting sites and that for those outside of the US, shipping prices (and distance/environmental impact) can make it unreasonable. So I'm mainly talking about thrifting for people who have easy access to it (in the US/Canada, for example).

I'm really not sure why I got so much hate or was called privileged/classist to engage in thrifting.

My favorite influencer has her own clothing brand, and I was happy to read the brand's statement on child labor and sustainability, but I don't know if u can trust it. The brand is too small to be on goodonyou, but I can't find any proof of their words either. What can I do?

looking for any recommendations for brands that sell a good amount of clothing made with hemp!

Dear community

I am searching for a winter, ankle length, A line skirt, on a dark color, solid lines or plat. Something that gives witchy Victorian vibes for a -5°C winter. I bought one from LinenNaive but I am cancelling my order (they are evasive) uppon discovering they are actually fast fashion with undisclosed ethics, low quality for the price and bad costumer service. I am located in EU. Small creators like Slovak Meadows are preferred.

Thank you!

Hello, I am starting up my clothing business, but I can't find any ethical manufacturers to produce my products.

I need a manufacturer who pays their workers a living wage, has good working conditions and does not use sweatshops. Preferably based in the UK and can produce items such as t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, boxers, shorts, shirts and maybe more in the future.

Does anybody know any manufacturers or have suggestions on where I can look? Thank You

I usually buy my clothes pre-worn/loved from Postmark or eBay, and am looking for great high-quality (made to last a long time, ethically/environmentally conscious practices, natural materials like linen, silk, cotton, and wool is a plus) brands to check out.

I am 5'4", but I have a disproportionately short torso and normal-ish legs. Sometimes I wear regular bottoms, sometimes petite bottoms, depending on fit/style/brand. But I almost always need petite tops. What are some great brands that sell elegant, sophisticated, and sustainable clothes that are timeless, will last me many years, and can be worn in a professional environment? My work environment is mostly business casual, but occasionally business or business formal for certain events (meetings, conferences, etc).

We all know that sustainable fashion is super nuanced and there is no 100% right or wrong approach. But I wanted to ask your thoughts on my approach to it. I was always super conscious about shopping, I was never a compulsive buyer and I always treated my wardrobe and clothes as some form of self expression and art, so I was trying to fill it with quality pieces that will serve me for years. However, I still buy sometimes some items from fast fashion. I do not buy from ultra fast fashion brands like SHEIN or even H&M, Bershka, Zara ecc, but I can sometimes buy some items from Mango, basic t-shirts from Uniqlo or something on Zalando if I see that the item I am buying is from quality materials, it’s made well and I know that it’s something I will wear for many years. I have a good eye for these things and there are many items in my wardrobe that I’ve been wearing for 10 years which are fast fashion. However I also thrift a lot, I buy second hand, I wear a lot of handmade and buy from small, ethical brands. My philosophy stays the same however - I never buy just to buy, I always choose only quality items, I never buy items I am not wearing after. If I see I am not wearing anymore something in my wardrobe and I know that I will not change my mind in a year - I sell it or swap with my friends. What do you think about my approach? Does it make sense to you? Or should I quit fast fashion for good?
