Robert Rodale, JI and Anna’s son founded Men’s Health and Women’s Health magazines.

“We were sustainable before people used the word sustainable”

This company doesn’t only sell ethical fashion, but ethical everything, on the homepage you can read their 3 basic principles:

We care how it makes you feel

We care how it’s made

We care where it comes from

Under every product listed, you can find detailed information on those three aspects, including materials and manufacturing location, two features we at Fashionhedge consider essential for any slow/sustainable lifestyle product. There is also a brief section called “Why we chose it”, in which they explain specific qualities and ethical principles that make each product unique. Under “Meet the creator”, you can read about the actual company or person making each product. Transparency: check.

They offer carefully picked brands that live by such principles as well, including Amour Vert and Indigenous.
