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' rights. The aspects we consider when putting together the selection are many: from the materials brands choose to use, to production processes, through to the concept and inclusivity of their collections — all essential parameters when talking about sustainable fashion.

Gimmi Jeans

A brand that works with hemp through an in-house supply chain involving farmers, spinners, weavers and manufacturers: it produces garments from hemp fibre, overseeing the entire process from cultivation to yarn.

Lavinia Rossetti

A jewellery designer who crafts pieces by hand in Florence using gold, silver, aluminium, titanium and reclaimed stones. Her creations treat the body as a performative space for jewellery.
