These fashion labels do not market themselves as “ethical” and you won’t find them in most ethical fashion brands lists, but they are definitely doing things right, as they give us a high quality product manufactured domestically and made mostly with natural materials.
As we have mentioned many times before, considering something “ethical” depends on each person’s values and priorities, so this is a short list of hot labels we have discovered recently that comply with our view on what is the best way to manufacture clothing.
Are You Am I
Are You Am I is fashion blogger Rumi Neely’s clothing line launched at the end of 2014. The clothes are minimalist featuring basic colors, much like the fashion icon’s own style, and light fabrics such as silk and linen. Everything is made in Los Angeles.
