Have you ever considered where your clothes are made, how the material is sourced, who makes your clothes, or what kind of factory produces them? Consumers are beginning to realize that it’s our responsibility to choose clothing lines that come from responsible manufacturers.
It can be surprisingly difficult to find ethical and sustainable choices in fashion. This is why buying second-hand is a good option for many and in most cases, a more affordable option. Buying local brands made in the USA is a good way to invest in your local community and ensure your clothing is eco-friendly and humanely sourced. Luckily, this new social dialogue and a new wave of informed shoppers are encouraging existing brands to provide more ethical choices. And new clothing brands specifically dedicated to ethical practices are cropping up.
