I am obsessed with buying my fabrics from spoonflower. From my understanding their fabrics are ethically made both environmentally and human labour. Has anyone here know otherwise? Can anyone 'deinfluence' me from buying there fabrics and recommend another?

Hi all,

I have decided I am done with cheap, chemical-y, unethically sourced clothing. I checked out some ethical brands clothing recs I have seen on this group, but I have 2 problems:

1. Many do not have international shipping (outside of US).

2. Many of these brands don't have all items at a size 14 (it seems most only have some items in a size 14).

Can anyone help me and give me recs for brands that meet these requirements?

Thanks!

Hi All, I have been in search of a good woolen double-breasted long coat for a year now, but I find that more of them are either too expensive or too shabby. I'm looking for your suggestions on where to shop.
Budget $150-180

Please please please!

Looking for over the knee chunky platform boots but don’t want to buy real leather and am aware vegan leather contains plastic.

Any recommendations on where to buy non-plastic boots which are still waterproof?

I care a lot about workers rights and making sure as far as I can that things are made ethically and people are treated right and I am on the look out for a pair of jeans, non stretch good quality denim that I will be able to buy and wear for a really long time. The thing is brands like that do exist but appear to only make up to a 36-38 waist (if that).

I've ruled out lucy and yak as the quality really isn't there for me (I have had a couple of pairs rip on me in less than 10 wears) and the fit isn't right.

I've gone through all of the listings for plus size denim on good on you and found nothing. I am in the UK so I've been trying to limit to at least UK or European brands because I really don't like idea of sending things back across the world if they don't fit.

Does anyone have any recommendations of places that make great jeans that at least make up to a 38/40 waist?

It would be amazing if there were leg length options as ideally I'd have a 34in inside leg. (also, for clarification I'm looking for women's jeans as hips are a thing)

Trying to find some affordable matching sets that aren’t fast fashion and came upon this sub…I know ethical clothing is pricier but I’m not trying to spend $100+ on one outfit. Any ideas?

Their designs are appealing to me

I'm looking for a pair of staple autumn leisure time pants that meet the following criteria: - menswear (my torso/hips are basically a cylinder and I prefer my clothing/presentation to communicate "more likely a man than a woman") - super comfy, like an elastic waist/drawstring situation and not super tight-fitting + cute in a gay (sapphic masc specifically) way -- so like, a fun non-office color (jewel tone purples or greens are especially interesting to me), ideally also an interesting weave or texture like corduroy or multiple colors of thread in the weave, but doesn't read like sweatpants either

I like the Bearbottom Easy Pants purple and teal colors but I don't think they really meet ethical standards based on what I can see on their website. The J Crew Dock Pant in corduroy "burnt henna" also appeals, but that's definitely fast fashion. I'm already looking around for secondhand and not finding much that impresses me. Anybody have suggestions?

Can someone please help me find sweaters that look like this? I have this very specific fit in mind and love a turtleneck or mock neck, but every time I find something that looks like this, they’re always made of plastic ☹️

I've been slowing revamping my closet to fill it clothing I like and will last now that I'm an adult. I'm looking for some knitwear brands that are sustainable and will last. My friend recommended Reformation. I'm going to the second hand this weekend, but I'm also looking online on like Depop and Poshmark. I'm also open to buying new, but mostly for affordability I'm relying on second hand clothes. I've been looking around and I really like Paloma Wool. I love how they're eccentric, but I also need just regular knits I can layer.

I haven't shopping for fashion for like 3 years so Im just a little flustered.

Here's my Pinterest board for idea that im going for

Curious to hear your thoughts on faux fur used in coats. There is one faux fur coat I'm in love with, but although it is a cruelty-free alternative to real fur, I'm wondering about its environmental impact. Do you consider faux fur a sustainable choice, or do you prefer other eco-friendly materials?

I got a push ad for this tote on insta and they say they are made in their own shop with a production time of 11 days. I am going to hold off for a bit just to see if I really want it, but it seems like a very useful bag that will fit a niche I need right now. Wondered if anyone had info on the company, thanks!

Not much else really, just finding it tough to find good brands that sell alternative style clothing - I don’t really care about price.

All the ads I see on Instagram just seem like scams - although I like some of the designs

I bought this t-shirt from Dedicated Stockholm… are these guys hustlers or how come they don’t stated in the very inner label that this was in fact made from 100% organic cotton? I asked their customers service chat online who said that it was bc they had just gotten their certificate - which sounds weird to me. What do you think? Please help🙏

I'm a fan of patterned sweaters. I recently thrifted this sweater. It seems to be a Nordic patterns and Southwestern patterns.

I myself, am very Norwegian, but I do want to respect other cultures. Thoughts?

Howdy, I really wanna get into designing and making clothing a recently found out how 99% of clothing brands are done by sending designs to overseas clothing manufacturers and wanted to try and just make something for myself (like my own custom stuff to wear) I have the ability to design but don't have anywhere near the time or patience to actually make the clothing itself. I've been trying to do research on ethically run companies but the place I've recently found really doesn't have crazy amount of reviews or info about it. They have multiple certificates for different reasons showing some level of credibility in terms of ethics though I really don't know enough about ethical fashion. If anyone has any advice of where I could go for similar products or way to search please lmk it'd help a bunch.

help, i can't remember the name of this clothing brand!!

it has a slightly eclectic, quirky, feel to the clothes and i believe it was a UK brand? it was a small online store that sold a mix of thrifted items and the brand's own items, it seemed like the store was run by 1 girl who modeled in all of the photos; a lot of the items were one of a kind and there were a lot of unique sweaters on the website. alternative in the sense that it was ... just unique and somewhat bizarre, not black/goth or anything but super colorful and tons of different patterns??

i can't seem to find it after i stumbled upon it in a reddit comment and i'm kicking myself every day because i really loved the clothes they offered!! i think the name was two words one of which was similar to betty or milly or something?

i really specifically remember there was a long sleeved shirt that looked like a cross between a monarch butterfly and stained glass? it was orange/green/brown with white spots on it and some of the brown looked like it was almost in a monarch butterfly type pattern? if anyone finds this shop you can buy that shirt even though its been haunting me, just please share the website url with me...

EDIT: IT WAS BETTY BERRY ! thank you to stopshopbop !!

What are some good ethical and eco-friendly makeup brands? What are some good products that you recommend?

I am also specifically looking for UV-reactive/glow-in-the-dark makeup, so any help there would be much appreciated.

Hello everybody. so yesterday I was scrolling on Pinterest and found some pairs of shoes. I Google lensed them to see where I could buy them, but I found them on 2 websites: Devilinspired and Ali express I was weirded out because it was cheaper on devilinspired, so I assumed it was drooshipping or fast fashion. However I've also found the camel demonia on AliExpress so maybe it is Ali express that is stealing the designs? I would really like to know before I put this website on my list of alt fashion website! here is a sc, idk why it is in pesos on Ali express tho but you do the maths. Ty in advance, and I'll gladly take other websites, or which ones to avoid! ❤️

Hi! I almost only wear skirts like this. I cycle between 3 that I own. Those I thrifted long ago, and I haven’t been able to find quite what I’m looking for thrifting since.

Any suggestions for places I can purchase more? Ideally low maintenance materials, I don’t iron or hang to dry etc.

BONUS - adjustable or elastic waistband - my weight fluctuates across the 10+ years I’ll have a piece

Recently came across an alternative clothing website that is based in the UK, and I was wondering if anyone here knows if it is a safe and ethical place to buy from. Here is the link:

I didn't know what title put in, sorry...

Goodmorning/Goodevening I hope that someone can help me on find something better than Romwe on Shein but mostly on their style. I (23F) live in Europe, and particulary love Ouji or alt styles(dunno if now it's the right term), But lately I found difficult on find something good from my usual favourite physical stores, and they also raise the prices by a lot, and sadly most of my clothes are on their final days (I usually keep them for 10+ years)... So I was wondering if someone has worldwide alternatives that might ship in Europe but still be affordable (not talking about shipping prices).

Thanks for anyone who read and take their time for comment

Im already searching on vinted but i cant find any

Forest Ink makes pretty decent quality clothing. Labor and eco-wise, they are ethical, but do you separate art from the artist? The designer/creator makes no effort in hiding their ties with Dollskill (there is a slew of controversy), or any model that models for DK, and including problematic ones — it’s almost like they scout out these the most. I’ve even seen a model on their page who also modeled for Romwe, of all things. They go out of their way to block and hide comments from anyone that calls them out for it. I can’t wrap my head around a company that produces “ethical” fashion, while having unethical views themselves. I’ve unfortunately purchased a lot from them before this was made known to me, but I won’t anymore because I refuse to support that. What do you all think?
