5 Eco-Conscious Fashion Brands

Anything to do with the natural environment and Mother Earth should be commemorated more than just one day of the year. Every day we need to appreciate the water that nourishes us, the air that we breathe, the landscapes and forests that instead of destroyed, should be coveted. But, what does fashion have to do with all that? Everything. We need to recognize how some of the major fashion retailers negatively impact the environment by the use toxic chemicals, water pollution, and increasing landfill waste. It took the rise of fast fashion to open their eyes to such realities. Make it important for you to know where your next new sweatshirt comes from, who made it, how and where was it made and at what cost.
@SOPHIEMONET
SOPHIE MONET has been our long-time favorite of eco-friendly jewelry lines. She got us to really appreciate how wood is good, especially if it's well made into a pair of statement earrings. The collections are thoughtfully hand-designed and produced in Venice, California.
