Aside from the big names, here are also some brands that you may never have heard of that’ll help make shopping an ethical and affordable experience.

tentree

tentree is an organic and eco-friendly brand that gives back to the environment by planting ten trees for each item purchased. The company believes that we have a collective responsibility to protect and preserve the world we live in. “Buy One, Plant Ten” is the motto the brand upholds. They produce adult apparel, hats, backpacks and accessories for your everyday wear. With 35 million trees planted worldwide, tentree believes that even the smallest change can make a difference.


Krochet Kids

Krochet Kids is an ethical brand with an aim to break the cycle of poverty. A range of products for men, women and children are all handmade by women who are fighting the system. The best part? Every product is signed by its producer.

Everlane

Some say Everlane is comparable to J Crew or Madewell when it comes to design, but isn’t as much of a strain on the wallet. Ethically made, the company turns basics into bold pieces for adults. One of the more unique parts of the brand is the “pay what you choose” option which allows you to choose how much you pay on items on sale.

thredUP

thredUP is a great way to find some amazing pieces while purging yourself of clothing that you no longer need. It acts as a curated online thrift store that sells everything from dresses, outerwear to accessories and handbags. There is nearly a 90% markdown on all items, truly upcycling at its finest.


Girlfriend Collective

Girlfriend Collective is made from recycled water bottles and ethically produced in Vietnam. The brand design is minimal but body inclusive for active/athleisure wear. Aesthetics are on point, definitely where I’d spend my money at!

These are just five affordable brands that are ethically made that consistently help us prevent overfilling landfills. Did you know that each American discards 81 pounds of clothing on average? Imagine how much damage the world is collectively doing to Mother Earth. It’s time for a change.
