The mantra that guides us when it comes to shopping is: buy less, buy better. Here are nine more brands for our periodic selection of eco-conscious labels that respect workers' conditions. The aspects we consider when making our selection are many: from the materials brands choose to use, to production processes, through to the concept and inclusivity of collections — all essential parameters when talking about sustainable fashion.

CEA CAPSULE

Seaweed jersey, regenerated organic cotton and native wool for an ultra-short-chain knitwear production: garments made from 100% Alpagota wool are entirely produced in Veneto within an 80-kilometre radius.

SATORISAN

Guided by the concept of Satori, a Japanese mythological creature that helps people find their own path, this Spanish brand creates responsible and durable footwear built on 4 pillars: uniqueness, comfort, quality and diversity.

DEMIUR

100% cashmere garments, fully Made in Italy, some the result of upcycling, crafted from certified yarns that guarantee responsible practices throughout the entire supply chain.

MARC O' POLO

A Swedish brand that uses only certified yarns — natural or man-made — such as viscose, lyocell and modal, produced from wood sourced through responsible forestry and regenerated cellulose fibres that achieve at least 80% of the maximum possible score (the "green shirt" status) in the Canopy Hot Button ranking.

ECODREAM

Produces bags and backpacks in the Florence area using recycled inner tubes, decommissioned PVC tarpaulins and Piñatex, a bio-based material derived from pineapple production waste.

For every bag sold, it also donates a portion of its profits to the association Days for Girls, which works in over 140 countries to ensure dignity, health and opportunities for girls around the world.

MARIA CONTIGIANI CASHMERE

100% cashmere garments crafted in Umbria since 1987 using artisanal techniques and exclusively the finest quality natural fibres.
