ALL WE REMEMBER

United States

ALL WE REMEMBER is a US collective that makes clothing and accessories in relaxed, gender-inclusive cuts with drawstring waists. Its tagline is future | nature | forms. The brand does not call itself sustainable because it believes full sustainability is not possible in today's society. Instead, it describes its approach as taking responsibility. It works only with natural materials that biodegrade. These include organic cotton for fabric, thread and trims, buttons made from corozo, and dyes from plants. Its partners include American cut-and-sew factories, Certified B Corporations, GOTS-certified mills and local botanical dyers, and it publishes a list of them. Labels and packaging are recyclable or compostable. It produces in small batches, runs a repair program and upcycles or composts production leftovers. Good On You rates ALL WE REMEMBER Great overall. It notes a high share of lower-impact materials, low-impact dyes and production close to home. On labour, it audits all of its final production stage, but Good On You finds no evidence that it ensures living wages.

The Ethical Silk Company

Ireland

The Ethical Silk Company makes mulberry silk sleepwear, loungewear and accessories for women and men. The range includes pyjamas, robes, slips, camisole sets, tops, scarves, eye masks and pillowcases. The brand began in Dublin and also has a presence in the UK and the US. The brand uses only peace silk, also called Ahimsa silk. With this method the silk is taken from the cocoon only after the moth has left, so the silkworm is not killed. Its silk comes from a family business in India led by Rajaiah Kusuma. The team says it knows its suppliers in north and south India and visits them regularly. It describes its supply chain as simple and transparent, and it focuses on fair treatment of workers and on clothing that lasts. Good On You rates the brand Good overall. It scores 4 out of 5 for planet, 3 for people and 4 for animals. Good On You notes limited production runs, efforts to reduce packaging and rainwater capture in the supply chain. It also notes there is no evidence of living wages or emissions reductions.

Its fabrics include GOTS-certified organic cotton and Lenzing TENCEL Modal, and its Organic range is coloured using natural plant-dyeing methods. The brand calls itself Australia's first plant-dyed organic cotton underwear brand. Its Canberra team offers alterations and repairs in-house so garments last longer, and it also provides free virtual fittings. NICO says it is committed to transparency across its supply chain. Good On You rates NICO Good overall, with Good for planet and animals and It's a Start for people. It notes that the brand does not appear to use animal-derived materials, but that there is no evidence it ensures living wages or reduces its packaging.
