Ethical clothing brands care about the impact of the fashion industry on the world. They focus on reducing adverse effects on the environment, people, and wildlife. Did you know that the fashion industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions? 

Ethical fashion also means a fairer pay structure, better working conditions, and lesser sweatshops. Becoming a conscious consumer does not mean you have to throw out all your fast fashion clothes or always shop local. Start small. Recycle your old clothes, donate, and opt for apparel pieces that will last longer. 

Most fast fashion brands make trendy outfits from cheap material. Learn to store and care for your expensive fabrics. Invest in unique pieces that suit your style. We have listed our top five ethical fashion brands to get you started.
