Eco Friendly Designers

So as I was researching this topic, I was wondering if the clothes I wear are considered ethical fashion. Being a big fan of H&M, Forver 21 and American Eagle I realized that neither of the stores are considered to be ethical shopping sites. Most of the clothing are made of inorganic cotton, polyesters, etc. None of which are sustainable fabrics, nor are made of recyclable fabrics or materials. I continued to do a little more research and found out the top 15 eco-friendly designers, none of which I ever heard of in my life! With the exception of Levi's... my favorite brand of jeans! 

1. Beau Soleil by Anne Salvatore 
2. Sworn Virgins
3. Linda Loudermilk
4. Stella McCartney
5. Enamore
6.Gaiam
7. Alternative Apparel
8. J Brand Organic
9. Levis Organic Jeans
10. Organic by John Patrick 
11. Loomstate
12. Saint Grace
13. Eco-Ganik 
14. C&C California Organic
15. Bodkin

 These designers can be found in some of the rare ethical fashion stores around the world. Most of the designers are pretty pricey, due to the material used in making these garments, but they also don't fit the hippie image of eco-friendly fashion. There are actually some cute stuff if you look into it!
