5 Sustainable Fashion Labels To Know — Trendii

Being sustainable and ethical has always been vital for the whole fashion industry. As smart and rational consumers, every choice we make will have a significant impact on the planet in the future and that's why we should always be conscious shoppers. Below, I round up 5 sustainable fashion labels that create beautiful timeless pieces that will help you to build an environmental friendly wardrobe.

Reformation

Based in California, Reformation offers a wide range of clothing pieces from basics, active wears to bridal wears. They put sustainability at the core of everything they do and I really appreciate the fact that they invest in green building infrastructure to minimise the waste. From what they state on the website, they also invest in the people who make this revolution possible by providing on-the-job training and opportunities for growth.

My Top Picks from Reformation

Kourtney Dress: When you talk about Reformation, romantic floral print pops into my head straight away. I adore the adjustable spaghetti straps and side slit design, which makes the look more feminine.

Biscotti Top: When puff sleeves meet open back design, that’s when I know I have to add this into my cart. You can dress it down with a pair of jeans or dress it up with skirt and heels. Such a spring and summer staple!

Cowboy High Rise Straight Jeans: The whole cowboy trend is everywhere now. This “smart ass jeans” creates the shape that perfectly hugs the hip and butt area. The rich brown colour is suitable to wear all year round.

Veja

A shoe brand based in France that use fair trade and organic raw materials. They invest in research and new technologies. The Veja team makes sure they have aligned with the regulations of banning child labor, forced labor and discrimination offering a safe work environment with respect and decency.

I'm sure you have seen Veja sneakers floating around social media a lot, even celebrity like Meghan Markle loves wearing it.

My Top Pick from Veja

V-10 Leather White Nautico Pekin:: Although you can not go wrong with the classic black and white design but this colour combo caught my eye. It simply brings a whole vintage vibe to the look.

When browsing the website, the material they use interests me. The soft inner lining is made of 33% organic cotton and 67% recycled plastic bottles. Insole is made of 34% sugar cane, 11% amazonian rubber, 11% organic cotton and 8% recycled E.V.A. while the logo V is made of rubber and 23% rice waste. It is definitely a brand that worths checking out.

Pangaia

How can we forget about loungewear? Pangaia commits to do as nature does when coming to materials science. They are inspired by the natural diversity in the ecosystems and find the balance between sustainability, functionality and purpose. By doing so, they have created so many trendy and cozy loungewear sets that makes wearing loungewear out possible.

As spotted on Maria Sharapova, she is wearing the orange tracksuit.

My Top Picks from Pangaia

C-FIBER fusion hooded dress: This A-line hooded dress is designed with their latest innovation which turns nature into fabric using eucalyptus pulp and seaweed powder, which makes the resulting material water-saving, carbon neutral and biodegradable.

The design is practical with a edgy twist. You can wear it either by itself or just layer the look with oversized sweater or jacket.

Women’s Heavyweight Recycled Cotton High Neck Sweatshirt: How fun is that pop of jade green colour? Made of 50% recycled cotton and 50% organic cotton, this sweatshirt is the perfect piece if you want to add some colours into your neutral wardrobe. You all know how trending it is in the style community to wear a tracksuit with a coat!

RE/DONE

When browsing the RE/DONE website, you’ll notice the 3 bold words which are ICONIC, SUSTAINABLE and INDIVIDUAL. Fun fact, RE/DONE is the first luxury label that was born online and grown as an e-commerce brand. With focus on vintage denim, it is a climate-conscious brand that gives vintage brand a new life in order to create sustainable fashion.

My Top Picks from RE/DONE

La Causa

LA-CA-USA, this LA based brand with a name meaning “the cause” in Spanish. It creates comfortable and stylish basics with contemporary bohemian twist. Flowy and breathable, that’s everything I want for a warm weather. Every garment is produced under ethical conditions with trusted fabric partners, fair factories and healthy working environment.
