6 eco-friendly brands for more ethical fashion
Changing your consumption pattern often leads to its share of questions. This is especially true when it comes to dressing. However, there are eco-responsible brands, determined to limit their negative impact on humans and the environment. In this article, we present six of them.
Noyoco
The Noyoco brand focuses on creations with a refined style and eco-friendly materials. Since 2017, it has been part of an up-cycling approach by taking back surplus or out-of-stock textiles. These materials represent 50 to 70% of their clothes. The other materials, chosen for their low impact on the environment and their bio-degradable fibres, are mainly produced in Italy or Portugal. Noyoco recently joined the "In Climate Mode" movement. It is a collective of 300 companies aiming to change laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by the fashion sector.
Brava Fabrics
From the design of the garments in Spanish and Portuguese workshops to the packaging, the Brava Fabrics brand follows the path of "fair fashion". Their collections are made of organic cotton, recycled wool and polyester, and Ecovero viscose, an eco-friendly artificial textile. And while the brand pays great attention to the sustainability of its clothes, it doesn't forget to create neat designs.
Andorra Paris
Bright colors and caustic patterns are the trademark of Andore Paris. The brand, created in 2019, used fully recycled fibers for its first collection of sweaters. Their cashmere touch is explained by the fact that the pieces are made in an Italian factory, used to working with knitwear. In this way, quality does not contradict sustainability. In short, an Andorra sweater means 60% less electricity and water, 30% less chemicals and 75% less CO2.
Thinking MU
Thinking MU is a Spanish brand committed to well-made clothing. This commitment is evident in textile choices such as sustainable recycled cotton, biosynthetics and organic hemp. The company is also behind a zero-waste collection called "Trash". "Trash" is entirely composed of clothes from old pieces recovered and then transformed into yarn. The brand does not stop there since each of their clothes is equipped with a label with a QR code that details its environmental and social impact once scanned. Finally, all collections are fair trade certified.
Nudie Jeans
Jeans made of 100% organic cotton, worn until worn and mended, without additional treatments or washing: this is the vision that Nudie Jeans advocates. And that's what makes them the benchmark for eco-friendly jeans. The brand is also committed to the circular economy by offering free repairs and reusing used denim as second-hand jeans or fabric for new products. Eco-responsibility can also be seen in the choice of suppliers. Together with the Fair Wear Foundation, the company ensures that working conditions are safe and ethical throughout the production chain.
Sandqvist
Made to last and designed for everyday life, Sandqvist bags are as functional as they are durable. The brand is aware of the impact of the fashion industry on the environment and focuses its action on four issues: carbon footprint, chemicals, biodiversity and water. Sandqvist also wants to be transparent about working conditions in factories, material suppliers, tanneries and modes of transport. All this to produce quality bags, inspired by Scandinavian fashion!
Moving to slow fashion doesn't have to be a headache. By buying from these eco-responsible brands, the consumer is doing something for the planet that he is not ready to regret!
