A good garment is not hard to find

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. And internet hunting. And more thinking. And I have happened upon a new passion/cause I am interested in. It’s the segment of the fashion world that involves fair trade, sustainable and ethically conscious clothing. We have spent a lot of time in this country (America) feeding ourselves the lie of consumerism. It whispers I need more, more and more. No, you do not, and you are weighing yourself down with so many possessions. I’ve been learning more about socially conscious shoes, handmade goods and garments that have a more positive story than a factory with terrible working conditions in a developing country. As someone who currently works in an HR role, I have come to understand a little bit more about the importance of worker’s rights and wages. I am encouraged by the good in companies I have seen lately. Therefore, I decided to compile a list of some of my findings and another blog that gives a list of ethical companies out there. There are a chunk of them overseas, but American also has a hat in the ring as well.

Here are some companies I have found. This is not a complete and full list by any means, but please check them out!
