By Poppy Cory-Wright on 1/5/2019

We've rounded up our favourite brands giving back to the planet with feel-good fashion, from denim and sportswear to clothing for mini eco-warriors

Sustainable fashion brands
Sustainable fashion brands
Fast fashion is a dirty business. It's wreaking havoc on our planet, with inexpensive clothing produced greedily and rapidly by mass-market retailers in knee-jerk responses to the latest trends. It's an epidemic that shows little sign of slowing down. That's why now, more than ever, shopping sustainably is so appealing and important.

Production of sneakers has often proven to be damaging to the environment, with the Sole Supplier's sustainable sneaker guide revealing that 'sneakers have a high carbon footprint as they typically have many parts which, involve injection molding, foaming, heating, cutting and sewing.' Reject these environmental aggressors with the following brands:



ADIDAS:

Adidas launched a new, 100% recyclable trainer at the end of April, cementing its position as a major sports retailer at the forefront of the drive to make mainstream, accessible fashion more eco-friendly. The shoe is made from a single material - thermoplastic polyutherane - and fuses pieces together with heat rather than glue.

With soles made from sugarcane and upper fabrics from either eucalyptus trees or naturally-made merino wool, they're stylish, fuss-free and high-tech.
