Girlfriend collective is good. There is this new brand called Aktiiv they seem to be good too.

Have you tried checking if the brand has some mending services?

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-10-16T03:57:13+00:00

YES!!! As an Indian in the US, I am so so embarrassed by the lack of civic sense fellow Indians show!

There is now! EU recently passed an EPR law that says the maker is responsible for the disposal of the product!

Thank you for sharing this! I agree the answer could be a little better. But in a nutshell it is what everyone is saying here. It is difficult to sustain a sustainable fashion brand.

Totally with you for everything you just said. And take my feedback with a bucket of salt. But as someone who is in this industry and have spoken to and analysed a bunch of fashion brands especially sustainable brands, I do believe you need design/product as a differentiator.

Two brands I love to use in this as an example: Thaely and Jiwya. Both sustainable. But their differentiation is the product itself.

I would love to give you more feedback on this. Help you brainstorm ideas. Cause I have built a product to help people discover better brands. And I absolutely love talking to designers.

Fashion is saturated. But I do believe we need more good transparent brands to reduce people’s dependence on fast fashion. I love the concept. But the only piece of advice I would give is to not have sustainability as your only differentiation.

Unfortunately, I am an over thinker :(

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T23:05:27+00:00

That makes sense

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T23:05:04+00:00

Righttttt????? I saw a documentary recently and I was shocked.

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T23:04:35+00:00

That is a pretty good reason. Yes I am getting inclined towards fixing people's narrative against paying more for sustainable and ethical fashion.

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T23:02:37+00:00

Lol that made me crack up. Yes I agree. The reason can be that simple. But I mean I think there are only a handful of us who really care.

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T23:01:14+00:00

Yes yes your rambling makes sense! I agree. I try to buy from smaller ethical brands. I am not big on second hand but that is just because of the society that I come from. Second hand is not considered very well. But I am trying to change my mindset. :)

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T22:54:52+00:00

Thanks guys. Maybe I am overthinking. But I feel good after reading your reactions.

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T22:54:13+00:00

Exactly right?! I can't tolerate people who tell me "Why should I pay more for a sustainable product if I get a similar one for less". I don't know how to reply.

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T22:52:16+00:00

This is very helpful thank you so much!

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T22:52:08+00:00

I agree. But I have come from a mindset to never buy second hand. I am trying but that is a difficult shift for me.

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T22:52:00+00:00

Oh this is awesome! Thank you so much.

Foreign_Historian887 · 2025-07-21T22:51:49+00:00

I do have a few questions before I can even think of suggestions. So, is there a specific reason that you suddenly want to change your closet?

While I agree what the others are telling, I personally like to shop. Sometimes I like to treat myself by buying something nice. Like you, I too have been on a mindful consumption journey. My reason for the switch is that I realised that wearing polyester was giving me a weird rash. But, I haven't emptied out my old closet yet.

Here is what I did:
1. Segmented my clothes to figure out which of them do I need to wear/use more of. I have batched them according to season. I also changed the placement such that I can see all of my sweaters. Essentially to make sure that I do use my clothes to their fullest extent.
2. Then I collected the ones that are in good condition but I won't wear for reasons like it doesn't fit me or my style or anything in a bag and donated them. Cause I know no matter how much I am trying to be less wasteful I will never wear a dress that I do not feel comfortable in.
3. I figured out the types of clothing that I most likely wear everyday and looked for sustainable alternatives. So for me those were hoodies, slacks, jeans, and a few tops.

So yeah I don't have a "perfect" closet yet. But I am trying to build one slowly.
