FASHION

SANS FAFF

SANS FAFF embraces the belief that fashion should be a joyful expression of self, not an overwhelming task. The brand celebrates the essentials, offering timeless pieces that balance classic elegance with bold, modern flair—all while being eco-conscious.

What sets SANS FAFF apart? Their commitment to sustainability. The brand uses lightweight bamboo fibre, not only for its softness that improves with each wash, but also because bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable resource. This choice aligns with SANS FAFF’s green credentials, making them a standout in eco-friendly fashion.

For expectant and new mums, SANS FAFF also offers a “bump-friendly” range of dresses, perfect for wearing both during and after pregnancy, thanks to the versatility of bamboo fibre.

DEPLOY London

Nothing says ‘powerhouse’ like a piece of tailored perfection that also happens to be multifunction, which is what sustainable clothing brand DEPLOY London offer. The brand creates smart, sophisticated pieces with a twist. The Vanda Reversible Wrap Dress is perfect for the office and at the bar, offering a pattern on one side and a block colour on the other, which means less time spent flapping over what to don where, and more time generally being awesome. The brand puts sustainability at the fore, upcycling, sourcing responsibly, and ensuring that its garments suit your lifestyle and last a long time.

Circular Fashion Hub by The Fashion Pulpit

From clothing swaps to creative styling workshops, the Hub is transforming how we approach fashion, aligning it with both the planet and people.

It offers a space for consumers to explore sustainable fashion, reduce their environmental impact, and stay stylish, with workshops, interactive booths, and styling sessions that inspire a more eco-friendly wardrobe.

MUD Jeans

The best gift you can give any woman is the perfect pair of jeans. Even better, perfect jeans that are eco-friendly and can be swapped for a different pair after a year if they fancy something different. This is what MUD Jeans offers. The Netherlands-based brand creates eco-friendly, organic cotton jeans that can be bought new, bought pre-loved, or rented and then returned/exchanged after a year or returned after their life span to be recycled. Through its savvy, sustainable business model, MUD recycles 95% of the water it uses through reverse osmosis and has few emissions and very little waste.

OliveAnkara

In 2017, Ifeoma (IFY) Ubby, an Italian-Nigerian visionary, founded OliveAnkara, blending her heritage with bold fashion innovation.

Today, OliveAnkara challenges fashion norms by seamlessly blending African prints with global influences, proving that style has no cultural boundaries.

The online atelier creates high-quality pieces that, in true French style, can be worn forever. All of its items are made to be wafted around in, but our favourites are the blouses.

Sezane aims to offer everyday luxury at accessible prices while thinking about Mother Nature; all the more possible as an online-only store. It uses mostly eco-responsible materials, supports children’s charities, and to date, has recycled more than 12,000 pieces. As its website says, je ne sais quoi for all.

Parisian clothing company Balzac believes in longevity when it comes to clothing. It creates classic collections in limited series’ in order to encourage shoppers to consume slowly and consciously. Its jeans are sustainable heroes – made in GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, laser washed, and 100% recyclable.

SWIMWEAR

Underprotection

Underprotection is a Danish underwear and swimwear brand celebrating women of all sizes while caring for planet Earth. It offers bikini tops, bikini bottoms, and swimsuits in all manner of shapes (including maternity cossies), and a mixture of designs, from block colours to jazzy prints (seashells, we’re looking at you). To provide an even closer fit, many of Underprotection’s bikini tops and swimsuits have adjustable straps and removable padding. All of the brand’s wares are made using sustainable fabrics, such as recycled polyester, and arrive in recycled or biodegradable packaging. Additionally, most of their water-bound wares are vegan.

POSIDONIE

Saying no to plastic pollution, POSIDONIE recycles abandoned fishing nets – which are responsible for 55% of global ocean pollution – into swimwear. After processing, the nets are upcycled with elastane to create a resistant, long-lasting fabric. The designs are classic and minimal with little sustainable extras like tie closures on bikini tops to replace iron or plastic, and versatility in how they can be worn. All of the swim pieces have been tested by swimmers and water sports experts. Even more impressively, the founder, Lauren, works another job to self-finance the brand. Female empowerment, ocean protection, and a gorgeous swimsuit – what better present is there?!
