The origin of eco-responsible clothing
The first criterion is the origin of the garment . The production of eco-responsible clothing must be carried out in acceptable conditions, that is to say in workshops with responsible and decent social practices.
Relocation is a major criterion for eco-responsible fashion. When purchasing ethical clothing, check the origin of the product.
So, choose a garment whose origin you know! So remember to look more at the label than at the price of the garment!
Textile materials used
The textile materials used have a considerable impact on the environment. Unlike synthetic materials from petrochemicals, so-called natural textile materials are less water-intensive and require less maintenance, such as organic cotton or linen.
Natural materials are also more comfortable to wear because the composition allows the garment to breathe better. A breathable material ideal for summer!
Ethical fashion labels
The label is a guarantee that the garment meets a large number of social and environmental criteria.
To affirm certain mentions, an ethical label can come to certify it. This guarantees the certainty between what is done and what is said!
In short, ethical labels bring clarity to the textile industry and help consumers to better understand it. They guarantee the commitments made by a brand.
To certify our commitments, Jeanne told the Fair Wear Foundation label which came to guarantee good working conditions in the clothing workshops.
