Sustainability is much more than a trend and the fashion industry has listened. Fashion brands all over the world are creating beautiful – and more sustainable – clothes for shoppers to adore, while also feeling good about their purchase. Sustainable fashion brands in London are making waves with great design, conscious manufacturing and a great ethos.
If you’re looking for the six best sustainable fashion brands in London, read on.
Beulah London
Beulah is on a mission to fight slavery through fashion, proving that ethically minded brands don’t only have to be about fabric waste and sustainable cotton. But Beulah is also a sustainable fashion brand. It’s just that they employ vulnerable and previously trafficked women, truly embracing their three pillars of prosperity, people and planet.
Baukjen
Baukjen is a sustainable brand with a slow fashion ethic. Producing 99% of their collection in Europe, Baukjen offers the kind of everyday fashion that looks lovely and lasts for a long time. If you’re craving detailed information, there’s an Impact Report on their website. Transparency has never looked so good.
People Tree
There is probably no need to present People Tree, but allow us anyway. The pioneer of sustainable, Fair Trade fashion was founded in 1991 and has been supporting people and the planet for three decades. Environmentally responsible, People Tree is on a mission to protect the environment and to support their producers. They are a “business based on partnership, people-centered values and sustainability,” and their clothes are beautiful.
P.i.C Style
A London brand that’s London made, P.i.C stands for Partners in Crime. P.i.C Style believes that people want – and need – to know where their clothes come from. The sustainable fashion brand’s fabrics are locally sourced, sustainable, organic or select stock material and their clothes are made right here in London. They believe in slow fashion and will even show you how to create a capsule collection from only eight of their pieces.
RÆBURN
Christopher Raeburn won a fashion award in 2020, as one of the Honourees of the Environment. The sustainable fashion brand’s ethos is Remade, Reduced and Recycled. Waste is reduced, the Remade pieces are crafted in England from surplus materials, and they use recycled materials from around the globe. If you’re wondering how it all works, you can go on a Raeburn lab tour in their East London studio, with the ticket proceeds going to a local charity.
Bar Jewellery
Most of Bar Jewellery’s pieces are made in England, with a small percentage of the pieces made in Bali, in a factory that adheres to ethical standards, pays fair wages and offers a safe working environment. Bar also uses recycled materials. Their silver is 925 sterling sourced from a member of the RJC (The Responsible Jewellery Council), and the studio uses vegan, non-toxic polishing compounds.
