6 Asian-Owned Sustainable Fashion Brands For Every Type Of Fashionista
Dec 7, 2020 | Fashion |
This year, the December holiday season is going to look different than the last, with quarantines and rising COVID-19 cases getting more press than the hottest gift ideas. It only makes sense that holiday shopping will also be different. Instead of browsing leisurely at a crowded mall, many of us will be perusing online businesses. With thousands of options at our fingertips, consider shopping sustainably, particularly from small businesses that have struggled over this past year.
For fashionistas, sustainable fashion (sometimes referred to as “slow fashion” or “ethical fashion”) is a great alternative to the usual fast fashion route. Brands that are committed to sustainable practices consider the entire life cycle of the products, from material sourcing and production to the workers and consumers. By shopping sustainably, we are supporting businesses that prioritize eco-friendly practices and offer liveable and ethical wages to employees. Rather than giving our money away to Jeff Bezos with yet another Amazon order (I know, it’s just so convenient), we can spend our money in a more meaningful way to help Asian entrepreneurs and small-business owners fund their passion, while also finding the perfect gift for a friend.
