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

Taippe

A Portuguese brand that works exclusively with cellulosic and natural fibres — such as organic cotton, acetate, micromodal and bio-elastane — to create products that transcend barriers of gender, colour, size and age.

Frii | Eco Fashion

Industrial laundries discard sheets destined for hospitality facilities due to even the most minor defects. Frii recovers them to create 100 per cent cotton garments.

Elisabetta Nevola

A Padua-based artisan who creates jewellery and design pieces in her atelier, which also serves as a coworking space and creative hub where courses and workshops are regularly held.
