CHIPPENHAM, U.K. -- It is estimated that around 8,000 chemicals are used to turn raw materials into textiles for traditional fashion products and the growing of non-organic cotton accounts for 25% of the world’s pesticide usage. Many leading designers and brands are starting to produce sustainable clothing. Natural, organic and recycled materials are used to produce garments such as the Timberland Earth Keepers collection which Timberland say is “a small step to keeping the outdoors great”. Brands like Skunkfunk are also showing that ‘sustainable’ doesn’t have to be boring. Their clothes combine fresh and funky styles with sustainable fabrics and ethical manufacture.

Whilst the choice of ethical and sustainable clothing grows, it can still be difficult for shoppers to find exactly what they are looking for.
