In a world of fast fashion, ethics are regularly compromised. Whether this is in the treatment of those who create garments, the effect their creation has on the planet, or in the very materials used to create it, we all too often see a disregard for ethics in the name of looking good.
If you don't feel that fashion and ethics should be at odds with each other, then this could be the place for you.

Hi, Just started my search for some more decent and high quality cardigans and got tricked by Oluolin being fast-fashion. Does anyone know any alternatives that are ethical/similar price? ($40-70) Thanks in advance!
my style is grunge/punk, streetwear, dark academia, black cargo shorts, and occasional cottage core (yes I am aware I am not consistent in style)
problem is most of my style is harder to find with sustainable materials, any recommendations?
I really like this coat from asket. It has different length options, which I really appreciate. However, I would still like to have more options to consider. Does anyone know of other ethical brands that do coats with diffent length options like that? Preferably based in continental Europe. Thanks!
Hi! I'm slowly revamping my wardrobe to better suit my style/body (in the comfort sense), and I'm mostly buying secondhand online.
I often find that items I'm interested in are not available at brick and mortar stores near me. I can usually approximate fit via measurements, and I've learned my lesson about buying things with tailored or structured shoulders online lol. What often stops me from pulling the trigger on a purchase that seems otherwise great is, I can't touch them and get a good sense of the texture for myself, and I often can't get a sense of the construction quality from the photos (which being familiar with the brand would often help).
I'm wondering if anyone knows of Discord, Facebook or Reddit communities with members who are familiar with a wide variety of brands (particularly menswear brands) and willing to help with questions about things you can't necessarily see in photos, for example, "is xyz brand's wool/whatever blend coarse or itchy in your experience?"
most places ive seen have been knock off resellers on ebay/amazon/etsy and i want to avoid them, but i recently discovered hot topic sells them too and a lot i really like (including plushies), i'm not from the US so i haven't bought from them before just vaguely heard of them. but i recently looked on goodonyou and saw it was rated "we avoid" which if i see that i always try not to buy from there :(
main stuff i was looking at i really liked on there was one piece, death note, evangelion, jjk and a couple others.
thinking of buying some because they work well with most of my outfits, are workers conditions good? i know that they only use animal product from animals that would've been killed anyway i js wanna see if its humane
wearing my great-grandpa's wool flannel at school today, and it needs to be patched, but this thing is comfy as heck and i trust my grandma to carefully patch it with love.
i think it's not only very sweet to be wearing his flannel that has probably been around for 80+ years and is still in fantastic condition
sustainable and sweet
I'm just curious. How do people know about Kowtow and other slow fashion brands in New Zealand? Do you hear about it from others or come across them on the internet? If you didn't knowon they are sustainable brands, do you still buy from them or other brands?
I live in the UK, I am disabled and poor so cheaper end the spectrum suggestions only. All my old underwear is extremely old and falling to bits now, it's actually past ime to replace, but I'm really struggling to find affordable pants that are both cotton/natural fibre and not from a shop I am boycotting. Bras too, but pants are most urgent. I only have a couple pairs that haven't fallen completely apart now!
I know in the past L.L. Bean has been considered an unethical company. I was wondering if anyone has heard of anything they’ve been doing to improve their carbon footprint/labor issues?
Thanks in advance!

Hey ! Anyone could recommend a super warm - this is very important (a linen pajama wont do ) from any brand in Europe, I have hard times finding one !
I found a lovely coat at the thrift store. All tags are in Chinese. As Google lens its made from wool and rabbit hair. My question : is hair like fur? Is it possible that the hair is not pulled out of the rabbit? That it was harvested without hurting the rabbit? ( sorry for my English, I use a translation app )
More and more, we’re seeing biodegradable sportswear popping up, and it seems like it could be a game-changer for the industry. As sustainability becomes a bigger focus, this could be a great way to cut down on the environmental impact of activewear. Do you think biodegradable materials will become the go-to for sports gear? And how much does sustainability matter to you when picking sports products?
Hi guys ! First of all i apologise if what I wrote is full of mistake English is not my first language and second of all I had a question do you have any ethical brand who are not expensive but are sure to be Employees friendly and environmentally friendly ? (i don’t know if what I say make sense and I’m sorry) Thank you for any response !
trying to pimp my wardrobe but not unknowingly support unethical business practices
I have gotten into soft/dolly/shojo girl fashion lately, I love all the lace and ruffles and soft colors! All the shop links/websites I've checked out are usually Asian brands and I have no way of knowing which are good or bad because of language barrier lol. If anyone has any reccs for ethical brands that sell hyperfeminine/maximalist clothing... I'm willing to pay extra for the frills AND treatment of the laborers. Usually if I just google, sustainable fashion brands, it's very basic and not what I'm looking for.
I used to wear this outfit all the time, for many years. It has since become too worn out to wear.
I'm looking for an alternative that's fabric healthy (cotton etc) and from a good brand.
