Le Kasha mission is to make beautiful & timeless clothing suitable for every place and every season, usuing only natural and noble material, at Le Kasha Eco label factory.

White Stuff’s women’s jeans and dungarees are designed consciously, using lower impact materials and manufactured with recycled water and renewable energy. All our new styles feature recycled cotton (between 5% and 20% of the total fabric mix) and recycled polyester thread. The pockets are made from a recycled polyester and organic cotton blend. Additionally, the different washes of jeans have been created without pumice or stone washing techniques, which can be damaging to factory workers’ health. The denim factories we work with all take steps to mitigate their environmental impact.

nobody's child has pivoted to become a go-to fashion label that is sustainable as well as affordable, without compromising on its feminine designs. Through 2021, its mission was to become a more responsible brand – 90% of the collection is now made from certified sustainable materials. It also partnered with Canopy on the PACK4Good initiative, and its tags are FSC certified, with packaging made from 100% recycled plastic.

OMNES means all, with the brand's ethos being that we are all in this together. The brand is aware that fashion is one of the worst polluters, so even when sketching clothes, designers think of designers and fabrics that you will wear as long as possible. It's also using offcuts in accessories to minimise waste, and audits its factories in Romania, India and London to make sure they comply with Health and Safety, Environment, Business Ethics and Labour Standards.

This contemporary sustainable womenswear brand celebrates individuality, authenticity and sustainability. In just 13 years, Amy Powney has gone from sweeping the cutting-room floor at Mother of Pearl to taking the helm as its Creative Director. Sustainability has been a life-long passion for Amy and she’s been on a mission for Mother of Pearl to reduce its impact on the planet. Clothes are made from organic and natural materials, with a transparent supply chain, putting social responsibility, respect to animals and low-environmental impact first and foremost. Their website is set up so you can see the sustainable attributes of each piece, allowing you to see what we have achieved garment-by-garment.

Founded in Indonesia in 2012, Faithfull the Brand has care, quality and authenticity weaved into its fabric. From day one, co-directors, Sarah-Jane Abrahams and Helle Them-Enger have collaborated with Bali’s best manufacturers to create their hand-made garments, and have continued to live and work closely with their local community ever since.

At the heart of the brand are thoughtfully produced designs that evoke a sense of summer and a spirit of travel. Faithfull is known and loved for its vintage inspired prints, flattering shapes, and unique pieces, made for sun-seekers and romantic dreamers.

As a major step in their ambitious plan to achieve Climate Positivity by 2025, the brand is introducing a new platform of wardrobe staples that are made to be remade, beginning with Circular Denim.

The fashion industry operates on an endless make-sell-pollute cycle, with roughly 90% of clothing discarded before the end of its lifetime. Ref’s new Denim collection is made from fabric scraps that could’ve been trash but through collaborating with leaders of denim innovation Strom and Bossa, they've created a line of fully Circular Denim. Ref are thrilled to bring their technology to Ref's best-selling denim and to also push the fashion industry towards a better, more transparent shared future at the same time.

With Ref, Strom and Bossa prep the denim scraps and combine them with FibreTrace and organic cotton, they are then woven into denim that ultimately becomes a pair of jeans. These fabrics are made from 20% Recycled Scrap Cotton and 80% FibreTrace Cotton (a technology enabled fiber that allows consumers to follow denim’s entire lifecycle—from fiber, to product, to finished product). All styles from the collection are 100% recyclable because jeans this good deserve to be around forever.

The MARFA STANCE concept is based on buildable, adaptable, reversible and personalised clothing. Each piece can be worn in multiple ways and with multiple functions, promoting a buy less and buy better approach. Unique, buildable elements are available in each collection to evolve key styles, offering the ability to update and sustain your signature wardrobe season upon season. In addition the collection has a modular element where if a customer buys multiple items from the collection, the pieces can button into each other and create new ways to wear for different times of the year. Seasonless, timeless design and colour palette encourage forever wear, focusing on the garment's longevity and functionality as an investment piece.

Operating from their London Atelier, BITE make and produce everything on-site in their east London factory space, using only natural, certified organic fabrics with a record of social and environmental responsibility.  The collection consists of a maximum of 20 fixed and updated styles each season, an evolutionary archive which is now stocked at over 10 global retailers.

Responsible fashion label ASKET is perfecting one garment at a time, throwing out all the unnecessary fuss and focussing on what matters: quality and fit. This week, the first three garments of its womenswear permanent collection launched: the white T-shirt, the white Shirt and the Standard Jeans. Each piece joining the permanent collection is 100% traceable and created to last and designed to fit - with 54 sizes in the denim.

All of Anny Nord’s gorgeous shoes (based on a clean Scandi aesthetic) originate from the brand’s design studio outside the coastal town of Båstad in Sweden. The brand believes in quality over quantity and to slow things down we only present two collections per year.

Production is kept as close to home as possible in order to keep transports shorter and in turn the CO2 footprint smaller. It works closely with a few quality factories in Portugal and Spain where shoe-making is a handcraft and good and ethical working conditions are a given.

All plastic packaging has been removed, and the label works with premium leathers that are from Leather Working Group (LWG) audited members within Europe in order to ensure a supply chain of superior environmental performance.

Hunza G’s production process begins and ends locally in the UK, amidst a small group of individuals passionate about quality knit fabrics and considered swimwear construction. The crinkle fabric is knitted in a local mill in the Midlands, then processed and dried before being sent to their Central London studio where each garment is cut and made, limiting any possible unnecessary fabric consumption. They also resourcefully produce small run-off quantities of headbands and scrunchies with small cuttings of excess fabric – reducing wastage and providing a long-lasting alternative.
