Reformation
Reformation is the ultimate “cool-girl” brand that keeps Mother Earth in mind. Founded in 2009 by Yael Alflalo, Reformation partners sustainable practices with trending styles to create its own, unique brand identity.
Reformation has become the poster child for ethical yet cute fashion, thanks to partnerships with brands like ThreadUp, sustainable packaging, local production, and fair labor.

If you love florals, dresses, and romantic styles and care about ethics, you should be shopping Christy Dawn. Founded in 2014 by Christy Baskauskas, Christy Dawn leaves fast-fashion practices in the past with good-quality, sustainably made pieces.
Most garments are hand-sewn in LA, utilizing deadstock fabrics. All of her employees are paid livable wages, and they have even implemented a marketplace where customers can buy pre-loved pieces to eliminate waste.
Pact

Pact has been sustainable since the early 2000s, much like Reformation. Founded in 2009, Pact has a commitment to organic and sustainable production habits. A draw of this brand is its versatility and wide range of products, selling everything from bedding to underwear.
They offer reasonably priced, well-made basics, manufactured in Fair Trade Certified factories and shipped in environmentally friendly packaging. They are 100% vegan, and you can find them in Nordstrom and Macy’s. They also offer exclusive deals for Earth Month!

Danish brand Ganni is known for its minimalistic yet fun designs. Selling bags, footwear, and fashion-forward pieces, Ganni makes sustainability fun with its unique prints, patterns, and designs.
Ganni prides itself on its use of clean materials, like organic cotton, recycled materials, and Oleatex in place of leather. They offer repair and resale services as well, promoting circular fashion.
Sézane

Sézane is my pick for the Parisian fashion lovers. They focus on vintage-inspired designs, partnering style with sustainably sourced materials and fabrics. Their stores are powered by reusable energy, and their shipping materials are recycled. They even sell jewelry!
My personal Sézane favorites are their Héra Sunglasses and their Zelie Dress. They pride themselves on their Parisian summer staples!
