Check out the summer sales for great Ethical Fashion Brands - a perfect time to invest in your wardrobe xx
When you read the blogs about ethical/eco wardrobes you will often hear that we should all be investing, buying better quality clothes, less frequently. These are great pieces of advice, but maybe hard to hear when we’re in a rush to buy something. Walking a different path from the “normal” can be challenging at first but what we need are good habits. I start with the sales and buying out of season - this is my top tip :) So with this in mind here are some suggestions from the sales just now - happy browsing!

The Lowie Tiger Print Josephina Dress - 100% cotton - now £49 (down from £149). Lowie design their own clothes & retail in London.
What they say: Started in 2002 by designer Bronwyn Lowenthal, Lowie’s philosophy is to produce beautiful clothing people want to wear as ethically as possible without jeopardising design. ‘We aim to pay our hand makers and small manufacturers a decent price, while small production runs ensure each piece is a limited edition’, says Lowenthal.
