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 have to commend you CoutureUSA! Because you only accept the best of pre-love designer items I get the best of pre-love designer items. I have had so many recent halls from you. That are just top-notch excellent condition. You have a customer for life.
Having lost my vintage John Hardy sterling silver Pali Budda Belly earrings, I was so happy to be able to purchase their replacement with Couture USA. They arrived in excellent condition, better than described.
Every visit is an exceptional experience. The team is intelligent, intuitive, incredibly knowledgeable, and treats every customer with the same level of care whether you're purchasing a Birkin or a wallet. They take the time to truly get to know your style, understand what you love, and even remember the pieces you're working toward adding to your collection, all in a relaxed, low-pressure environment.
The store is over an hour from me, and it's absolutely worth the drive. Their recent expansion and redesign have made the shopping experience even better, with beautiful lighting, more inventory, and a thoughtfully organized layout that evolves with the seasons and current trends.
I also love their FB, Instagram and TikTok content. They share educational snippets about leathers, styles, sizes, and luxury brands that help collectors learn while they shop. It's also clear that every bag is carefully hand-selected before joining their inventory, and their pricing is incredibly competitive.
Most importantly, the team is friendly, professional, welcoming, and completely nonjudgmental. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your luxury journey, they make you feel valued and appreciated. I can't recommend them highly enough. I admire that they are also involved in many local causes and care just as much about their surrounding community. Thank you Couture!!!
