Greener Fashion Shopping
Generally we have all become much greener – we recycle our household waste, we offset our carbon footprint, but do we buy ethical clothing? Well apparently we do.
According to designer Christopher Raeburn “a growing number” of people are becoming aware of eco-conscious fashion.
Figures from Mintel show that sales of eco-conscious fashion have risen more than four-fold over the past five years, to hit £175 million this year.
Greener fashion is growing with the help of design houses using organic and fair trade fabrics, applying ‘zero waste schemes’ and monitoring their use of dyes.
Eco-conscious fashion is widely available in shops these days and you can feel inspired that your ethical choice has maximised benefits to people and communities while minimising the impact on the environment.
So not only will you look good in your new greener clothes but you will also feel good by doing your bit for the environment!
