A Conscious Alternative

ZADY is a pioneer in the world of socially-responsible and environmentally-conscious fashion. They craft clothing that abides by their unique, 6-part moral code — which they call “The New Standard.” They bring values of the people and the planet into the clothes they wear. Their apparel is also beautifully, consciously-designed. This is a lightweight, breathable cardigan. It has a comfortable fit and a classic look and feel.

This is a beautiful, artisan-made scarf. The brand behind the scarf follows Fair Trade practices, which denotes ethical sourcing and fair exchange standards. If you like earthy color tones and wearing scarves in the fall, this is my pick.

I only recently came across Ace & Jig. They’re another budding environmentally-conscious and ethical fashion brand. You can click through to read about their creation process, and how their partners in India craft stunning pieces of apparel in ways that have a low environmental impact. I like the style of this dress, but feel free to explore their site — this dress comes in more styles and colors.

This is another Fair Trade, artisan-made accessory. This bag is handmade from artisans in Guatemala. I love floral prints for the Fall / Autumn. When I say this bag while exploring, I felt the need to share it.

Threads 4 Thought is a relatively well-known socially responsible and environmentally conscious fashion company. They provide a number of helpful pages on their website that detail their process, sourcing practices, and creative philosophy. I think everyone needs / uses a pullover like this in the Fall months. I sometimes like to wear them while lounging around at home, or when I’m walking out and about.
