A Guide to Ethical Fashion Brands From Around the World

January 11, 2021
Share

Eco-minded and ethical fashion brands from countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Australia

It’s no secret that ethical fashion has its set of accessibility challenges — and one of those barriers that many of you had shared with me via Instagram was location. Living in the suburbs of the United States, I don’t have any conscious fashion stores closer than an hour away from me, but I had always relied on delivery. And I must say I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I had not thought about the fact that there were locations in the world where ethical and eco-minded brands don’t really deliver to, or where it’s super expensive to ship to.

But with an international audience, many expressed this challenge and thus, the Ethical Fashion Brands Around the World guide was born!

To create this list, I asked you on Instagram which countries you’d like to see covered, and among the responses were Hong Kong, India, South Africa, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Italy, and the Philippines. (My guide to ethical UK brands is here.) Many of you also generously shared brands you love from the countries listed. Between your contributions and some diligent Ecosia research, I’ve curated this guide that I hope will be a valuable resource for all of you.

This is not a comprehensive list of the brands in each country or region. But I will continue to add to this list over time and if you ever have a suggestion, recommendation or region/country request to be added, contact me!

I also heard you loud and clear that shipping is a significant barrier in particular parts of the world, so each brand listing includes the shipment policies of that brand if available on their website. Of course, once you find a brand you love, definitely check out their most up-to-date shipping policies as these certainly do change.

One final note: some links may be affiliate links. As always, I only share brands I fully believe in and match my standards for ethics + aesthetics.

📧 Dear @hm, nothing about your clothes is conscious if they're made by people who aren't earning fair wages. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Your collections will never be conscious no matter what percentage of your clothes are made from recycled or "sustainably sourced" (whatever that means...) materials at these insane production levels.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Your very business model is reliant on a model of growth and excessive production that is incompatible with planetary limits.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Not to mention, the success of fast fashion is reliant on disposability. Fast fashion can only succeed by shoppers consistently buying, wearing (maybe), and discarding their clothes.⁠⁠

But industrialization and mass production has also resulted in a disconnect between designer and maker.

For truly ethical production, there must be an equal knowledge exchange between makers & designers in the design process, especially when artisans are using traditional techniques & generations-old crafts.

But what does collaborative design look like in practice? And how does this type of collaboration support more sustainable and ethical production?

I’m interviewed Tatiana of @zuahaza to discuss these questions and much more! Tune in and let us know your thoughts. 💗
