Brothers We Stand

United Kingdom

Brothers We Stand is a UK-based online marketplace for men's clothing that brings together more than 400 styles from a range of ethical and sustainable designers. Its selection covers jackets, overshirts, T-shirts, shirts, sweatshirts, knitwear, socks and underwear, with many items made from organic cotton or wool. Each product page lists who made the item and its effect on people and the environment, setting out both strengths and areas still needing work. The team picks labels for design, quality and provenance, looking for brands that know their supply chains and have a social or environmental mission. Good On You rates Brothers We Stand Good overall: Great for planet, and Good for people and animals. It notes that most of the materials are lower-impact, all textile offcuts are recycled, renewable energy is used in parts of the supply chain and plastic packaging is avoided. Its entire final production stage is certified by the Fair Wear Foundation. However, Good On You found no evidence that living wages are paid across most of the supply chain.

Earthkind is an online marketplace that sells sustainable and ethically made clothing and accessories from many labels. Its range includes tops, dresses, knitwear, activewear and accessories from brands such as Boyish Jeans, terrae and COSSAC. Its aim is to make sustainable fashion normal without giving up on style. Earthkind picks the brands it stocks by hand. It tags products by values such as organic, fair labour, vegan, recycled, artisanal, non-toxic, zero waste and supply chain transparency. Shoppers can use these tags to find items that match their priorities. The platform also reminds people that the clothes already in their wardrobe are the most sustainable option. For each order, Earthkind plants a tree through One Tree Planted in countries including the Philippines, Indonesia, India and Vietnam. It is a 1% for the Planet member. It says it removes unnecessary packaging and uses recycled materials for the packaging it keeps, and it lists carbon neutrality as a goal.

Shop Like You Give A Damn

https://www.shoplikeyougiveadamn.com/

Shop Like You Give A Damn is an online multi-brand shop that sells only vegan fashion and footwear for women and men. It carries more than 25,000 items from about 230 brands, including sneakers, knitwear, boots, jeans, coats and bags. Sellers include Kings of Indigo, KOMODO, Solari Milano, NAE and Recolution. The shop screens every brand on five values: veganism, worker pay and workplace safety, materials and production, inclusivity, and social enterprise. To check that products are vegan, it reviews each brand's website, sends questionnaires on materials and production, and holds a video call before taking a brand on. Staff also check each product by hand as it is added. This covers components such as dyes, glues, prints, linings and buttons. The shop does not call its products sustainable. It says it cannot promise fair fashion, and it publishes how it screens brands and which certifications it treats as meaningful. It encourages customers to buy only what they need.

Retykle

Multi-brand secondhand retailer selling "Good" and "Great" brands:

Retykle is a resale platform for children's items, founded in Hong Kong. It sells pre-owned and new designer kidswear, maternity wear, shoes, toys and gear from more than 2,500 brands, at 50 to 90% below original prices. It runs RETYKLE.COM and a Singapore site, RETYKLE.SG. Parents can send in clothes their children have outgrown and receive cash or credit, and Retykle handles the reselling. Its founder, Sarah Garner, wanted an efficient way to keep children's fashion, gear and toys in use, since kids outgrow things quickly. The company says its long-term goal is a fully circular system that ends the waste created as children grow out of their belongings. Its team also works with brands and charities so that outgrown and past-season items do not go to waste.
