Sustainable Manufacturers

Happy Earth Day!

There are a lot of factors that we consider when adding new manufacturers to the site. But for this Earth Day, we made a special effort to find ones who have embraced the idea of sustainability.

We were pleased to discover that four of our manufacturers were already using sustainable methods and ethically sourced and produced materials. We added an additional six manufactures to that, and will continue to make sustainability a key metric when we evaluate new manufacturers. If you know of someone who would be a great addition to our site, please let us know here.

All told, we now have over 750 sustainably manufactured items on the site, ranging from leggings to wedding dresses. See the full list here.

Amour Vert

Amour Vert

Amour Vert wanted to prove that fashion and sustainability were not mutually exclusive.

Using limited-run manufacturing and non-toxic dyes, they strive for zero-waste production, and ship their garments in compostable bags. They'll even plant a tree for every tee shirt purchased.

Boden

Boden

Once a UK, staple, Boden is now available worldwide, and are committed to responsible sourcing and ethical workplace practices.

In an era of planned obsolescence, they strive to produce garments that won't shrink or unravel. They're so confident of their clothing's durability that their children's coats have space for four names on the tag.

Coincidentally, Boden was the first manufacturer that we added to the site, so they'll always hold a special place in our hearts.
