12 Eco-Friendly Clothing Brands That Care Deeply About Our Planet

🍃 Green Apparel For A Better World🍃

When we think of pollution, we think of big oil companies and smog from coal mines—but the truth is, the fast fashion industry is one of the central polluting industries in the world. Not only is clothing production harmful to our planet, but the process also kills thousands of farmers and producers each year due to chemicals and waste.

Thankfully, brands are becoming increasingly mindful and are utilizing more eco-friendly production methods, including low-impact dying, upcycling natural materials, and growing organic pesticide-free cotton. Check out these 12 eco-friendly clothing labels for sustainable fashion finds.

And if you're making the shift to a completely ethical wardrobe, check out our guides to responsibly made shoes, fair trade bags, and even more ethical & sustainable clothing brands.
