Welcome to The Sustainable Closet
Welcome to The Sustainable Closet, where fashion meets sustainability.
There was a time when sustainable fashion meant sacrificing style for the sake of the environment. The lack of raw materials and sustainable production infrastructure meant that the only option was often shapeless, hippy-inspired garments made from hemp, one of the few fibers with a sustainable profile. Moreover, the fashion production infrastructure was dominated by factories with poor working conditions and exploitative wages. It seemed that the ecosystem needed to support large-scale sustainable fashion production was a long way off.
A new world of sustainable style
Today, we have reached a tipping point in the sustainable fashion movement. Years of effort and dedication have helped to nurture an ecosystem of sustainable production infrastructures and new materials with better sustainability profiles. Garments can now be made from recycled materials and new plant-derived fibers. A variety of third-party certifications are available for brands committed to a more ethical production process. With the growth of sustainable materials and infrastructure, more brands can focus on creating garments that meet the style demands of the moment.
Sustainable shopping can be hard
As a consumer, this means committing to sustainability no longer requires sacrificing style. However, shopping for sustainable items can still be challenging. The lack of fixed standards around sustainability means that every brand and retail platform can create their own criteria for sustainable fashion. Brands will often use different programs and strategies to showcase their sustainability credentials, making it difficult for consumers to discern which items are truly worth purchasing.
We make it simple
At The Sustainable Closet, we are committed to making shopping for sustainable items simple and accessible. We understand that finding sustainable fashion can be daunting and time-consuming. That's why we scour the web to curate classic and of-the-moment pieces, so you don't have to. We believe that style and sustainability matter, and that purchasing an item you love and enjoy wearing means you'll wear it over and over again.
Welcome to The Sustainable Closet, where we are shaping the future of fashion, one sustainable garment at a time.
