Many people combine sustainable fashion at expensive prices. A prejudice that is not true. Besides, there is much more behind a price than just the product. I’m gonna show you sustainable fashion labels at absolutely affordable prices.
Sustainable labels cost more than the usual fast fashion producers, that’s right. However, our perception of clothing prices does not always correspond to reality. If you get a t-shirt in a shop for 10 Dollars but you know what the manufacturing process involves, the price is very unrealistic.
The number on a price tag not only pays off from the material but also reflects how we treat people, animals, the environment and our planet.
As a result, the ratio of the prices of fast fashion to slow fashion cannot be right. Despite everything, there are many sustainable brands at affordable and fair prices.
Here I show you 5 fair and affordable brands for every budget.
The brand Amour Vert only uses environmentally friendly materials such as organic cotton, Tencel and recycled polyester. At the same time, they promote a zero-waste strategy. They can reduce their carbon footprint by producing close to their main retail stores. They are also part of American Forests and plant a tree for every T-shirt purchased. They do not use leather, fur, down, angora or exotic animal skins.
Due to the sad factory accident in Bangladesh in 2013, Yana Barankin and Eric Dales founded their own clothing brand TAMGA Designs. Because the injustice of this disaster led them to start asking questions and learning a lot about the industry. They have built the supply chain from the beginning to the end so that they can take responsibility for every step.
Outerknown was founded by surfing champion Kelly Slater. Among other things, the brand uses recycled materials such as organic cotton, hemp, wool and nylon called Econyl, which is made from recovered fishing nets. In addition, no fur, angora or leather is used, but wool from alpacas.
Kotn was born out of the desire to create fashion that offers quality and does not cost a fortune. With Egyptian cotton, which is finer, softer and more breathable than any other cotton, they can create wonderful garments. Unfortunately, demand has dropped sharply as many large companies have opted for cheaper options. With the direct cooperation with farming families of cotton fields from Egypt, Kotn wants to rebuild the industry and support them with guarantees and fair prices.
Armedangels rely on sustainable materials, fair working conditions and fair payments. Their pieces are made from environmentally friendly materials such as organic cotton, organic linen, recycled plastic or Tencel. None of their products should endanger the environment or people in any form. To protect their employees, they follow the Fair Wear Foundation’s code of conduct.
