15 Sustainable Clothing Brands On Amazon


15 Sustainable Clothing Brands On Amazon


So hear me out on this one.

I know when we think of fashion brands on Amazon we don’t always think sustainable. Whether it’s because of packaging, quality of materials used, where items are produced, for whatever reason, it’s fair to say that Amazon isn’t always what immediately comes to mind when we think of places to shop for sustainable and ethical fashion, nor do we think of these types of clothing brands on Amazon.

But as supporting sustainable brands and products has become increasingly more important for people, and the demand for sustainable fashion and eco friendly clothing grows, and more and more brands look towards a more sustainable future via the materials they use, the way they operate and and the products they produce, sustainable clothing has, thankfully, become more accessible than ever before. Yes, even on Amazon.

It’s true. Gone are the days of scouring thrift store racks for pieces and calling it sustainable shopping. Now it’s simply a Prime package away.

With Amazon being the world's largest online retailer, a place where you can conveniently find just about anything and everything you need, it’s no surprise to see that, as the sustainability movement has grown, Amazon has embraced this category. And I, for one, think it’s such a welcome move to see how there are more sustainable and ethical clothing brands on Amazon that are offering sustainable, high quality, trendy and affordable items, making it easier and more convenient than ever before for more people to shop sustainable clothing brands.

And as if that isn’t enough, Amazon has now taken it a step further by launching their own in-house sustainable brand that includes a large variety of household items and closet staples, in a wide range of size options, all at really reasonable price points, making sustainable just that much more accessible for anyone and everyone.

BRB. About to go Prime one of everything on my list.


AWARE

Amazon’s newly launched in-house conscious brand is everything you could ask for and more. Chock full of everyday essentials and wardrobe basics for your closet and home, the line is affordable, available in an incredibly inclusive range of sizes, and, most importantly, items are certified carbon neutral and made with at least 50 percent recycled material or organic materials. Oh, and did and did I mention it’s all just a Prime shipment away?

BOODY

Boody is an Australian brand (You know I love my Aussie brands because let’s be real, they just get it!) creating thoughtful, minimal everyday basics that are soft, comfortable and make you feel good, with a heavy focus on undergarments and loungewear. They use viscose derived from organic bamboo (a material that is super soft and breathable) as their material of choice, fair trade practices to ensure that those producing the clothes are well cared for, environmentally conscious production methods (such as using rainwater to grow the bamboo and recycling and reusing all the water used in their production process) and even have several giving back initiatives. I’m sure it’s easy to see why they’re definitely one of my favorite brands on this list!

BEST FOR undergarments and loungewear for both men and women

THINGS OF NOTE neutral, minimal colored pieces; also the bodysuit and underwear are stand-out items as it’s generally harder to find those items made sustainably and

They also provide fair working conditions for their employees and pay them living wages and help to support schools in local communities where their clothing is made.

PACT

I discovered PACT a few years ago and instantly fell in love (I’m wearing one of their sweatshirts in the photos in this post). Their products are comfortable and easy to wear and the best part is that they are made with organic and fair-trade cotton, chemical-free dyes and ethically sourced materials. They’re also mindful of what they use for packaging materials. And they take their efforts a step further by partnering exclusively with fair trade certified factories to empower employees by ensuring safe working conditions in a sustainable environment and supporting local communities.
