Why choose to shop ethical sustainable fashion online?

There are lots of great reasons for choosing to shop style-is.co.uk. Firstly there is a great choice of UK ethical sustainable fashion. We definitely don’t think that design, choice or price should stop you from shopping for the clothes that are better for people and planet. Ethical and sustainable fashion is constantly evolving and there are now plenty of UK ethical and sustainable fashion brands. They offer everything from casual street wear to contemporary fashion dress, quirky and eclectic style or classic timeless pieces. Sustainable clothes are beautiful, innovative, high quality and made to last. They are great for those who rock their own style rather than being a slave to the latest trends.  They also offer a great alternative for anyone who is fed up with the high street.

What ever your ethics, style and budget, we will have some UK ethical sustainable fashion to suit including:-

Eco Friendly Fabrics

Beautifully soft and breathable organic cotton, organic, bamboo, hemp and linen, all offer more sustainable choices than conventional cotton and synthetic fabrics. Large amounts of pesticides are used to grow conventional cotton causing damage to both the environment and health of those living and working near cotton fields. Organic cotton is chemical free and offers a more sustainable livelihood for farmers. The manufacture of synthetic fabrics uses non renewable resources and the end product does not biodegrade at the end of its life.

Ethical and Fair Trade Fashion

Clothing made by people who have been treated with respect and paid a fair wage always feels better than clothing made in a sweatshop. Some of the UK ethical sustainable fashion brands featured on our site go one step further by pioneering new ways of working to reduce poverty.

Recycled, Second Hand and Vintage

Recycling materials and clothing not only has a much smaller carbon footprint than manufacturing new clothing but it also reduces the amount of waste going into landfill. Surprisingly rather than limiting the creativity of designers, the limitations of using recycled or vintage fabrics seems to make the designs even more amazing. There are also so plenty of innovative companies using recycled materials like plastic bottles to make high performance outdoor clothing.

Vegan shoes and Handbags

Vegan fashion accessories are not only great for those who have opted for a vegan lifestyle but are also better for the environment. There are now some amazing eco friendly alternatives to leather.
