If you’ve ever shopped at Sbri, followed @sbri_studio or just happened upon our website in a magic twist of fate, chances are you’ve heard us chat about the ‘S’ word a fair bit, the ‘S’ word being sustainability. Being a sustainable leather brand was never a question for us, we knew that if we were going to be making fun leather accessories it had to be fun and fair for everyone, including our planet (cos we’ve only got one). You can read all about our sustainability practices here, including information about the natural materials we use and how we run our leather studio. As well as offering our customers gorgeous, UK made personalised purses and accessories we try to encourage them to learn about what’s in their new garment, how it was made, where and by who - important questions we should all be asking every time we shop. We know that shopping sustainably in day-to-day life can be overwhelming and it’s almost impossible to do it perfectly, but we’d love for it to become more accessible. In this post we’re going to try and debunk 5 common assumptions and misconceptions about sustainable fashion so that you can hopefully start to think about it in a different way. Who you gonna call? Myth busters.

At Noema James, we believe in creating a positive change by championing sustainable fashion. In this blog post, we'll explore the stark differences between traditional and sustainable fashion and highlight why choosing sustainable options can make a world of difference.

Hi There! Are you ready for a third part about sustainable fashion and eco-friendly practices? Composition by Seadbeady Can you believe it? We’re on the third leg of our exceptional adventure to make our planet a greener and happier place through fashion! 🦵😄 No, of course, we don’t have three legs. Can you imagine what fashion would look like? Designers would have to redesign everything to fit that third leg into a pair of pants. 😂 There would be advantages, though. Do you know, for instance, why a three-legged person would become a pro athlete? Because they always have a leg up on the competition! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Enough jokes, so what do these fashion brands do, and how do they become eco-friendly and sustainable? Well, get ready to discover the secrets, my eco-champion friends! 🌿😉 Fashion brands are like the creative minds behind the clothes we wear. Some of them have this incredible vision to make the world a cleaner, kinder place, and they put their visions into action! 🌍😊 That’s why I just had to write these blog posts about eco-friendly fashion because it’s like dressing up the Earth in fancy, green clothes! 💚😁 Hooray, I totally love it because when I was tiny, I had a blast dressing up and pretending! 👧🎉 Oh dear, I just realised, I don’t have a green dress, and I finally got the black dress I wanted so badly. Do I seriously have to give it up for a green one now? 😧 Nope, not at all my friends! Mother Earth is the one who’s doing a wardrobe makeover, not us! 😎 In this exciting part of our adventure, we’ll meet some incredible fashion brands. We’ll learn how they dream big and turn those dreams into reality by crafting clothing that’s kind to the environment and people. 🎇😄 Fashion brands can be like Earth’s best buddies, helping it stay clean, green, and happy. And on this adventure, we’ll discover how they do it, all while creating stylish and sustainable outfits. Are you excited? Because I sure am! 😍 Picture provided by Napes & Necklines Napes & Necklines's Vision on Sustainable Fashion Sustainable fashion to me is not much different from the three R’s adage used to encourage waste reduction – reduce, reuse, and recycle. This same adage applies to my work in fashion, just slightly different. Reduce the amount of clothing consumed, reuse worn out or outdated clothing, and use recycled fabric whenever possible. Reduce I designed a new type of scarf/collar and clip because I had a closet full of expensive shirts that I didn’t like and hardly ever wore. Not a fan of traditional scarves or necklaces that hang around the neck, however, I needed a way to polish up my basic cotton shirts that are comfortable to wear but lack elegance. Now, I buy fewer shirts and have the option to dress up the shirts I already own with my scarf/collar design. Picture provided by Napes & Necklines Reuse In addition to selling my scarf/collar and clips, I will soon be also offering my pattern for free so that people can make their own A-line shaped scarves out of whatever fabric they already own (i.e., fabric scraps and old clothing). Recycle My current scarf/collar is made of cotton, but I plan to use recycled fabrics and organic cotton in the future. Picture provided by Lost Discoveries Lost Discoveries's Vision on Sustainable Fashion I started selling vintage fashion on Etsy some years ago. After handling many vintage garments, I realized that they teach a lesson. Many have been meticulously repaired with carefully sewn-in holes by past owners. They did all this to extend the garments' lifespan. People had different relationships with their possessions back then. Minor flaws were not a reason to throw clothes away. Today, fast fashion encourages us to buy low-quality garments for cheap, and replace them as soon as they lose color and shape. If you buy fast fashion, then you know how soon that happens. Picture provided by Lost Discoveries Quality issues are one aspect that raises demand for vintage. The other drive is escaping mass production. Clothes with age are becoming rare and unique. Wearing them allows you to create your own distinct style. I hardly buy new stuff anymore for myself. Last year, I only picked up a pair of jeans from a regular store. It's actually quite liberating. My wardrobe is now full of designer pieces, high-quality linen, and silk outfits. I scored them for a cheap price. Much less than shopping in the cheapest fast fashion chains would cost me. Picture provided by LeatherLuxe LeatherLuxe's Vision on Sustainable Fashion In today's world, where the fashion industry is synonymous with fast trends and disposable production, sustainable fashion stands out as a beacon of hope. It's not just a trend; it's a movement towards responsible and ethical practices that benefit both the planet and its people. There are many ways to make more sustainable fashion choices. Here are a few tips: • Choose natural materials, such as organic cotton, linen, and hemp. • Avoid synthetic materials, such as polyester and nylon, which are made from fossil fuels. • Look for recycled or upcycled materials.. • Buy secondhand items. • Repair and mend your clothes instead of throwing them away. • Support brands that are committed to sustainability. Picture provided by LeatherLuxe Sustainable fashion is not just about the materials used to make products. It is also about the way clothes are produced and disposed of. When you buy sustainable items, you are helping to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry. At LeatherLuxe, we're committed to sustainable fashion in every stitch and detail. We prioritize using high-quality, eco-friendly materials like top-grain leather in our products. By choosing materials that age beautifully and endure, we encourage longevity and reduce the need for constant replacements. I want to say a big thank you to three awesome brands for helping with this blog post. 😍 And if you're thinking, "Oh no, I wish my brand was in this blog," don't worry! 😉 You can still email me and tell me, in at least 150 words but no more than 200 words, how your brand helps Mother Nature with eco-friendly fashion. 😃 Now's a great time to read my other blog posts about this topic.
