How to identify sustainable clothing brands?
The above is just a selection of the sustainable brands you'll find at Suitable. Are you in doubt whether a brand is really sustainable or just applying clever marketing? Then look out for recognised certifications such as Global Organic Cotton Standard (GOTS), Fairtrade Cotton and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Also always check the label in the garment. That way you can see straight away what it's made of and why it's a responsible choice. Note: organic doesn't automatically mean fair. So it pays to research in advance whether a brand also pays attention to fair working conditions and a transparent production process.
