Slower Fashion Brands: My Top Picks

My favorite slower fashion, high quality, and sustainable brands.

Brands I Currently Buy, My Personal Sustainability Score, and Why I Buy.

After navigating through sustainable fashion mishaps with less than ethical companies, I decided to share a shopping guide with you of brands I love that offer quality goods. These are brands I personally love, clothing that is affordable, and garments that have the potential to last a really long time, if not a lifetime.

Slower fashion isn’t just about the most sustainable brand, it can be about finding clothes you love, and you never want to part with. The goal for me is to keep my favorites for as long as possible even if the company has a limited disclosure about being sustainable.

I do hunt for organic fibers, ethical brands, and I am always willing to support small businesses and businesses that give back as much as they are able.
