Sustainable Fashion Brands – Buy eco-friendly and ethical fashion

It’s 2024 and being fashionable and eco-friendly at the same time is no longer just a dream! So why not make the switch from fast fashion to conscious labels that are both sustainable and ethical? Here are two great sustainable fashion brands you can find here in Singapore to get you started.

Badger & Fox

One of our favorite ethical clothing stores, Badger & Fox is a beloved Tanglin Mall boutique built on the principle of uniting handmade and sustainable fashion brands that not only celebrate artistry, but also honor sustainable practices.

Under the roof you will find many of these sustainable brands, including Tigers in Paris, known for its beautiful block print boho dresses. This family-run brand works closely with small families in India to ensure that every garment is handmade with care and attention to detail.

From sourcing eco-friendly materials to implementing ethical production processes, Tigers in Paris strives to set the standard for responsible fashion. By supporting local artisans and traditional techniques, it preserves cultural heritage while promoting sustainable livelihoods within the community.

In addition to Tigers in Paris, check out the many other beautiful finds at Badger & Fox – from slow fashion brands to accessories, jewelry and homewares made with craftsmanship and conscientiousness in mind – as founder Zdenka Rejha invites consumers to adopt a more sustainable approach to style embrace .

Bastide Colombe

With boutiques in Cluny Court and Wheelock Place, Bastide Colombe is no stranger to EL readers who love a bit of Mediterranean flair in their shoes. The brand was founded by French entrepreneur Emma Hebrard with the ambition to curate stylish espadrilles that pay tribute to age-old craftsmanship and sustainable practices.

Their eco-friendly fashion is all handmade in collaboration with Gaimo, a family-run studio house in La Rioja in Northern Spain. They have been making espadrilles since 1978 and employ entire families who have mastered the creation of these versatile and beautiful shoes.

That’s not all. The materials used in Bastide Colombe’s shoes are also 100 percent natural, made from organic jute to luxury leathers, soft suede and organic cotton, with natural rubber for the outsole, making it a sustainable fashion option that is also perfect for the climate in Singapore. In the brand’s boutiques you will also find a unique selection of women’s clothing and accessories, in collaboration with Singapore-based designers and emerging French brands, specially curated with two criteria: a sustainable approach in their production and an effortless chic style reminiscent of summer on the French Riviera!

‘Bastide’ refers to traditional houses in the south of France, and ‘colombe’ means pigeon. The name beautifully captures the brand’s ethos: casual yet sophisticated, while celebrating the artist’s passion for tradition and freedom, and inspired by the endless summer.
