3 Eco-Friendly Fashion Labels You Should Be Supporting
In an era characterized by an increasing concern for Mother Nature, it has become more imperative than ever for labels to conduct practices in a sustainable manner. Modern consumers not only consider the look and feel of potential purchases, but also from where they were sourced and by which means. While some luxury labels have been slow to react to this trend, others warrant major credit. In honor of Earth Day, we discuss three designers that have taken serious initiative when it comes to sustainability:
Stella McCartney
First on our list, Stella McCartney, is the quintessential combination of environmentally-conscious and chic. While the label terms itself a “vegetarian,” utilizing faux leather, recycled materials and organic cotton in its production, visually no sacrifice is made. The efforts extend far beyond the products themselves, however. All UK-based office and stores are entirely wind powered and the remainder use LED lighting, wood flooring from sustainably-managed forests, and FSC certified paper and packaging.
Armani
Armani has expressed their efforts towards a sustainable supply chain for some time how. However, it is more recent news that has landed the label on our list. Starting with the Fall/Winter 2016 season, Armani has declared that they are discontinuing the use of furs in the production of their goods. Not only does this direct attention towards the cruel practices associated with the fur trade, but it also demonstrates to other labels that a combination of compassion and creative freedom is, in fact, very much possible.
John Hardy
Let’s not forget John Hardy. The workshop in which his awe-inspiring designs are brought to life was crafted with the integrity of the surrounding environment in mind. As a result, the space can actually be reverted back to rice fields in a matter of months. If that doesn’t impress you enough, each John Hardy accessory uses 100% reclaimed gold and silver and ethically-sourced gemstones, and if you purchase from the Bamboo collection you'll contribute to the sowing of new Bamboo through Hardy's "Wear Bamboo, Plant Bamboo" program.
With sustainable labels such as Stella McCartney, Armani and John Hardy, it's becoming more accessible than ever to find pieces that are not only elegant but also ethically produced. While even these labels themselves admit that no company can truly be 100% sustainable, their efforts are undeniably a step in the right direction. Do environmental impacts affect your purchasing power? If so, which eco-friendly fashion designers are your favorite?
Let customers speak for us
I decided I need to buy myself a birthday gift and found the most beautiful Gucci satchel. It is like new and perfect size. Couldn’t be happier
Amazing experience from start to finish. All my questions/concerns were professionally dealt with:) Amber even sent additional information to help me make my purchase. I love the bag & the people who made it possible. Will be back for more…
I was contacted by one of the employees Brooke after letting her know months ago that I was interested in a long Chanel necklace. She contacted me as soon as it came into the shop and sent me pictures, and I went there in person and fell in love with the necklace and purchased it. It was presented in a Chanel box. Everything that I’ve ever purchased from the store is in immaculate shape. The service is impeccable. I love the way they display their purses, shoes, and accessories the store. If they don’t have the bag that you’re looking for, just let Brooke know and she will let you know as soon as it comes into the store. You can’t ask for better service.
I love this place. Prices are realistic for vintage, not like Dillards prices which are too high for vintage brands. Come check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Customer service is always great!
I have purchased several items and each one has not disappointed. They have all been in perfect condition and the pictures and descriptions are always spot on. They have a very quick delivery and that is one of the reasons I keep returning!
The girls ALWAYS know exactly what I want and contact me when a piece comes in. I've NEVER been disappointed with nearly FIFTY purchases thus far.
The ladies at the store were very knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. They worked with me to get my wife the perfect 20th anniversary gift. And even help me pack it up for shipping. Wonderful experience. It will certainly be back to deal with them in the future.
I have been in search for gold jewelry and Couture has delivered in many levels. Thank you Ladies❤️❤️❤️
