PLAINANDSIMPLE - Good Maker Tales - 21 of the Best Affordable Ethical Clothing Brands in the UK in 2024
It’s great to see more and more people starting to question the environmental footprint of their clothing. And more organisations are spreading the word about sustainable fashion: Remake.world, The Sustainable Fashion Forum, Labour Behind the Label and The Clean Clothes Campaign are just a few. While fast fashion is certainly affordable, when it comes to the textile industry’s impact on both society and the environment – the price is more than anyone can afford.
Luckily, the number of companies in the fashion industry pushing for more conscientious production is on the up. By using organic materials and advocating for workers’ rights, to name just a few things, these sustainable brands offer a more ethical solution. However, while sustainability practices can sometimes lead to pricier products, that’s not always the case.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of 21 affordable ethical clothing brands in the UK that present a solid alternative to fast fashion brands.
