Your Guide To Ethical, Sustainable & Vegan Fashion Brands Sales This Black Friday/Cyber Monday
What’s an ethical fashionista like yourself to do this Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend? The shopping event creates a frenzy of buying worldwide, mostly probably for things we don’t need. According the Greenpeace, “the average person buys 60 percent more items of clothing and keeps them for about half as long as 15 years ago”.
BUT there are a lot of wonderful ethical fashion brands out there. So if you are going to shop this weekend, here’s how you can make a positive impact with your spending by supporting do-good brands (offering fairly-made, eco-friendly and vegan options).
Brands Donating
Determined to use this weekend as a force for good, these brands will be donating funds to charitable causes. Major props to them.
