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 love shopping at couture I find some great bags. I check their site daily. So I don't miss out on what I'm looking for.
I was honestly a little nervous purchasing a pre-loved luxury bag online, but CoutureUSA made the entire experience feel easy and trustworthy. The photos and description were accurate, communication was great, and my bag arrived quickly and packaged really well.
What I appreciated most was that the item looked exactly like I expected when it arrived. There were no surprises, which can definitely be stressful when shopping pre-loved. Overall, the process felt smooth, professional, and genuine. I would definitely shop with them again.
Best places to shop always have great finds with great prices and the experience with everyone in the store like shopping with girlfriends best ever❤️❤️
The staff are very friendly and they have lots of great collection!
Yet another AMAZING find from Couture! I love this store and the staff! This is definitely worth the trip.
I just purchased three items from CoutureUSA that I never even thought I wanted, and fell in love! My first luxury purchase years ago was from CoutureUSA. Not only are their products in excellent condition, their customer service is excellent. I never worry if items are authentic cause they guarantee authenticity.
Love my new LV bucket bag!
My experience with Contour USA was exceptional from start to finish. My David Yurman 10mm Blue Topaz renaissance bracelet arrived in pristine condition and was exactly as described. The entire process felt seamless, professional, and truly reflective of a high-end buying experience. I would absolutely purchase from them again.
The team there was very friendly and fantastic able to answer any questions that I had products and bags are fantastic quality
It is impossible to visit couture USA without buying something special! Love this store and love the ladies that work here!
Described as "excellent" condition, in my opinion it's "like new"! Fast and secure shipping!
I'm in love with the store they have so many nice items. I was in town on vacation & had to stop in after I saw the store on tik tok.
I had been searching for a vintage Chanel Diana bag for nearly a year. Every one I found was in poor condition, and I was close to giving up. Then this one appeared—local to Tampa Bay. It was, by far, the best condition I’d seen and, unexpectedly, the most reasonably priced. Lady Di is finally mine, and she’s stunning in her 24-karat glory.
Beautiful NeoNoe MM bag! This bag is like brand new no scratches or stains.
The team of Ladies at Couture USA know so much about each individual designer they carry and each bag, belt or accessory that they have for sale. It is truly a delight to shop here and you can be 100% sure that each piece is authentic. My favorite designer store that I have ever been to
