Vintage & Secondhand

Quality vintage and secondhand will always be a sustainable way to shop. Just be conscious about how much you’re donating, how frequently, and where it’s going. Some of my favorite sites and apps for searching online are Depop, The Real Real, and Poshmark. I sell some vintage on Poshmark, find my collection here.

Brands I Love

There are also tons of ethical and eco-fashion brands out there if you want to support garment workers and move the fashion industry toward a better future. Just remember, you’re still buying “stuff” so please do so thoughtfully knowing that your purchases are not singlehanded going to create change (get engaged, advocate, vote, and all that stuff.

Regarding design, that’s a major priority. IA [?]created this master list to make it easy to find ones that fit your style. I’ve vetted each brand for their commitment to quality, craftsmanship, ethics, and transparency as well as ensuring they’re on the cutting edge of design.

Before you start, check out my questionnaire to figure out when to shop and when to not before you buy.

Also consider that many of these brands are online only. If you prefer to shop in-store, I encourage you to find a designer you love and check their stockists for retailers close to you. When you find a store, chances are it will usually carry multiple ethical or sustainable designers. Jackpot!

For the guys! I am also in the process of building out menswear. Look for “F/M” for brands that cater to both. For gents, I recommend starting with a marketplace that represents multiple brands like Your Eco-Stylist or Mamoq.
