Where do you buy ethical clothes you can’t get in a thrift shop, and what country are you from?
I’m from Germany, there’s an App here called Vinted which is a platform for people to sell Second Hand Clothes to each other (afaik it’s also available in many other European countries). Just the sheer amount of users usually means that you can get any item that you could get at a store. I usually use it to buy Eco-friendly brands that are too expensive for me to buy new (I found several of my favourite ArmedAngels Jeans there for like 30€ tops!)
I’ve also been dipping my toes into sewing clothes myself from thrifted fabric. Made these cool pants just last weekend!
I really enjoy my Darn Tough Socks, they have a lifetime warranty on every pair. No matter how long you’ve had them, they will replace them and recycle the old material for free. I don’t have any reason to dislike them yet.
They are made in Vermont in the USA and seem to have a sustainability first approach.
In Europe (portugal). I really rate them.
Ethical fabrics do not exist unless you are crazy wealthy or making them yourself
Harris tweed. Not cheap, but you don’t have to be crazy wealthy.
I have a Harris tweed Teapot Cozy. It is one of my favorite things in my kitchen. I should have thought of that.
Minimising is what should be done in situations like this. Perfect is the enemy of good.
your birthday suit is still fine,
the only ethical leather
Also, renewable (if you dont replace too mich at once!)
