Emily’s (not boring) guide to why sustainability in fashion matters

SUSTAINABILITY FUN FACTS

So... you read the labels at the grocery store; shop at Whole Foods, go to the farmers market, and then.... walk around wearing chemicals all day? Ew.

Sustainable clothing

-Saves animals... who doesn't love animals?

-Uses less water: we need water

-Synonymous with high quality and superior product.

-Eco-friendly fabrics are softer, stronger... I mean...

-Clothing made sustainably will last longer so you don't have to constantly buy more junk! (Marie Kondo approved!!)

COOL SUSTAINABLE FABRICS

TENCEL

REAL TALK: Tencel feels like silk, doesn't show your cellulite, is moisture wicking, easy care and doesn't really wrinkle.

Tencel - a soft, durable and compostable fabric made from the pulp of eucalyptus trees. Made from sustainable wood pulp sources, tencel is a cellulosic fiber with similar properties to cotton or viscose. Its softness, absorbency, strength, and resistance to wrinkles is outstanding. It redefines comfort in your day-to-day life.

Hemp/Organic Cotton

Real Talk: Hemp is cool because it gets softer and stronger every time you wash it. It will last a lifetime. Hemp+Organic Cotton makes a really responsible love affair filled with softness and durability!

Hemp: made from the plant of the same name. Hemp is fast growing, returns 60-70% of the nutrients it absorbs back to the soil, and requires very little water, it has similar properties to other natural fibers, but it has a much higher strength and durability. It softens more and more after each wash without degrading or losing its shape. It's also naturally antimicrobial and UV resistant.

Organic Cotton: the same soft cotton using less than a tenth of the water needed to grow traditional cotton, and results in 98% less water pollution
