Where to Shop Eco & Ethical Fashion

The most common question I get about sustainable and ethical fashion is, “Where can I shop?”

Here’s my go-to list of eco and ethical retailers and brands, which will be continually updated as I find more brands I love.

Want to know where I got that one thing you saw on my Instagram that one time? Shop my Instagram here!

Key:

(S) = sustainable, (E) = ethical, (V) = vintage/secondhand, (H) = independent artisan/handmade, (POC) = person/people-of-color-owned, (W) = woman-owned

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links, which means that I may make a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. I’ve only included retailers and brands that I have shopped from, or would shop from, myself, and meet my standards for ethical and sustainable practices (learn more about what “ethical” and “sustainable” mean here). If you like my work and would like to support me, please consider shopping through my links!

  • Etsy (V/H) – handmade and vintage items from independent small shops.
  • Garmentory (S/E/V/H) | discount: get $20 off your first purchase– shop indie designer goods from local boutiques all across the country, all on one online platform! It’s a little too addicting.
  • Made Trade (S/E/H) – ethical marketplace of artisan-made home goods and sustainable fashion.
  • Preservation (S/E/V) – vintage and new clothes with a retro vibe.
  • ThredUp (S/E/V) – online consignment store where you can both buy and sell secondhand clothing.
  • Verishop (S/E) – this online retailer with 1-day shipping carries a great selection of ethical and sustainable brands in their ‘Responsible Shop’ section.
  • YOOX (S/E) – high-end, sustainably made designer goods.

Apparel

  • ABLE (E) – ethically made leather goods, apparel, and denim.
  • Alternative Apparel (S/E) – affordable, organic, and ethically made basics, including tees, tanks, and sweatshirts.
  • Amour Vert (S/E) – feminine, timeless classics and beautiful prints; a tree is planted for every purchase of a tee.
  • Back Beat Co (S/E/POC/W) – comfortable, California-casual pieces made from sustainable fibers.
  • Christy Dawn (S/E/W) – prairie-chic, flowy dresses that will make you want to frolic in a field of wildflowers.
  • DÔEN (S/E/W) – gorgeous separates and sweaters that will make you feel like you’re a character in a 50’s film, set in the woods, and also played by Natalie Portman. with a price point to match (don’t say I didn’t warn ya).

  • Eggie Sustainable (S/E/POC/W) – YouTuber Jenn Im’s clothing line just launched a sustainable collection featuring eco fabrics such as organic cotton and Tencel!
  • Grana (S/E) | Mongolian cashmere review | discount: get 10% off your first purchase– high quality materials at reasonable prices.
  • HappyxNature (S/W) – Kate Hudson’s line of prairie-chic clothing. Think DÔEN or Christy Dawn but five years younger, before you got married and had your first child and now spend all your time stringing up laundry to dry in the sun.
  • Kindred Belle (S/E/POC/W) – beautiful accessories and clothing that support endangered species. 100% of each purchase goes towards conservation efforts, and you get to adopt an animal of the species printed on your item with your purchase!

Naadam pays their herders 50% more than traditional traders to ensure high quality fibers, so your cashmere lasts longer. The relatively recent craze for cheap cashmere has driven demand so high that the cashmere industry is devastating the environment in Mongolia…but focusing on quality and paying herders fair prices is the best way to do cashmere better.

Instagram post 17889750571865304 #ad // growing up in an immigrant family, investing in furniture and decorating our space wasn’t a priority. as I’ve grown up and started creating a home of my own, I feel so privileged to be able to curate my space so it’s not only functional, but also beautiful.⁣
⁣
one of my favorite brands for thoughtful furniture that lasts is @article. the products are high-quality and timeless, and I know I’ll be able to keep them for years to come.⁣

⁣
finally found a moment of calm to pick up my needles again, and was reminded of how grounding it can be to just sit and focus on the feel of yarn in your hands. also it’s really cool to bring something into existence with your bare hands, like wow

much love to my BIPOC community today—these are scary, sickening times and it’s hard to not even be able to hold each other close, physically. in whatever way you can, I hope you are able to take space for yourself today.⁣

so happy with my dining nook! could not resist this refurbished dining set I found on FB marketplace bc the chairs so perfectly matched this piece by @analeovy 💙⁣
⁣
it turned out the seller was upcycling furniture as a way to make some money after losing his job due to covid and this was one of his last sales bc he’d thankfully found another job. it was just a nice reminder that you never know the kind of impact your purchase can make when you shop small, even if it’s off FB marketplace or Craigslist 🥺
Instagram post 17887777579871037 ✨ it’s 2021! wear the outfits you want, even if it scares you! ✨⁣

I don’t think I would’ve been brave enough to wear this outfit outside a few years ago, but the past year has taken all my f*cks and I’ve learned that life is too precious to not wear joy-sparking outfits 😌⁣

Instagram post 17887022521873718 ✨ me walking away from the hot dumpster fire that was 2020 ✨⁣
⁣
when I look back on 2020, I’ll think of getting laid off and mourning my entire way of life pre-pandemic. but also of finding a new path forward and discovering new joys. of a movement that ignited action in ways we’ve never seen before. of both the darkest side of humanity and the resilience of the human spirit.⁣
⁣
ok now that we’ve seen ✨ growth ✨, 2021 pls go easy on us 🥲⁣
⁣
[dress is #gifted from @loudbodies, a sustainable & ethical brand that makes sizes XXS-10X! they make the dreamiest cottagecore dresses and I love how extensive their size range is. they’re truly setting the standard for this industry 💕 I’m usually a size 2 and am wearing a XS.]⁣
