Organic cotton is much better for the planet, as it protects our water supplies and also is healthier for wildlife and the farmers, who don’t have to wear protective clothing in warm weather. It lasts longer (as the chemicals have not been destroyed by fibres) and therefore costs less long-term. It can safely be laundered without depositing microplastics into the machine (that go into the sea). And at end of life, it safely biodegrades back to the earth.
Kind Kompany offers super-soft and warm sweatshirts, perfect with jeans or leggings. They also have uplifting affirmation uplifts. Ideal for lounging around the house, but they are also warm enough for dog walks and beach strolls. Take your pick, and find a nice organic sweatshirt to last years.
Goose Studios is a brand of organic cotton clothing, designed to be affordable. Founded by friends Sam and Rich, they want you to buy quality clothing that lasts and is easy to repair, even if it means them making a little less profit. After reading a book about a different way to do business, they wished to encourage people to become ‘conscious consumers’. So they worked for brands that did things diffrently, and then focused on creating a fashion brand that focuses on organic, ethical and durable clothing.
Rapanui is a great brand of organic cotton sweatshirts from Isle of Wight, with offcuts being used to make warm beanie hats. The company also makes nice t-shirts and warm organic cotton jumpers for men and women.
See the post on clothing brands that help animals. All these brands offer vegan-friendly clothing and accessories, made from eco materials. And they all help to fund animal charities of various kinds, with each purchase.
