Fair Fashion & Sustainable Labels: How to Find the Best Fairtrade Brands
More and more people are paying attention to fair labels, verified certifications and a thoughtfully curated wardrobe when buying clothes. But how do you find high-quality fair fashion in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne or Stuttgart? And how do you put together a capsule wardrobe that is stylish and worn for a long time? Here is what you need to know.
Why fair labels and verified certifications matter
Fast fashion is often criticised – for poor working conditions and for the industry’s high consumption of resources. Many labels that see themselves as fair fashion brands therefore focus on:
- Traceable working conditions in production
- Certified materials such as organic cotton, linen or TENCEL™ Lyocell
- Durable quality instead of short-lived trends
- Transparency about origin and supply chain
Important: ‘Fairtrade’ is a protected label that may only be carried by products certified to the Fairtrade standards. So look for the label itself, not just for words like ‘fair’ or ‘sustainable’. Standards such as GOTS also include social criteria – the certification a product carries should always be stated specifically.
How to build a capsule wardrobe
A capsule wardrobe is a minimalist wardrobe with just a few pieces that can be combined in many ways. Here are some tips:
- Choose basics: high-quality tops, jeans, blazers and jumpers made from materials whose origin you know.
- Set a colour scheme: neutral colours such as beige, white, grey and black are easy to combine.
- Quality over quantity: better a few well-made pieces than lots of cheap products.
- Think beyond seasons: choose garments you can wear all year round.
- Shop consciously: look for concrete information on material and certification – at ORGANICATION you will find it on every product page.
Eco style: conscious and stylish combinations
Many people think conscious fashion is boring or unfashionable. Quite the opposite! With the right combinations you can create a look that is entirely your own:
- Combine natural tones with statement pieces (e.g. a simple linen suit with eye-catching accessories)
- Oversized & minimalist for a modern look
- Discover fair clothing in Berlin, Hamburg & co. and find distinctive styles in independent boutiques
