Encircled

Encircled is a Canadian womenswear brand that designs versatile, travel-friendly clothing it calls wanderleisure. It sells tops, pants, cardigans, blazers and sets made from fabrics such as Tencel, modal and merino, aimed at women who want to pack light without giving up style. Garments are ethically made in Toronto, and more than half of its fabric is knit in Canada. The brand follows a slow fashion model built on multi-way, trendless designs. Its sewing studios keep scrap fabric to upcycle into accessories, and it holds sample sales for imperfect garments. Green energy powers its office and web hosting, and its packaging is 100% recyclable. Encircled is a certified B Corp, and most of its textiles are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. Good On You rates Encircled Good overall. It scores the brand Good for planet and people and It's a Start for animals. The rating notes local manufacturing and a traceable supply chain, but finds no evidence of living wages or an animal welfare policy.
