Green Fashion: Supporting the environment in style

Written by Vibei Kuotsu
Today, fashion brands are being marketed like never before through social media, celebrity endorsements, online shopping, deals, etc. Many brands are also evolving towards creating green and sustainable products to cater to environmentally conscious consumers. There are also a crop of brands in India who have been creating only organic clothing. Though a relatively new trend in the country, many of our handlooms like sarees have been manufactured by village-based craftsmen for centuries.

Eco-friendly products are organic products which are natural and do not harm the environment, they replace chemicals with green materials. With the coming of eco-friendly products, many lives have been changed and saved.

Eco friendly fabrics are made out of cellulosic or other organic fibers like viscose, modal, bamboo jersey fabrics and coloured using natural and vegetable dyes. Here are some Indian brands that have been using eco-friendly fibres:-

Organic products help farmers, support livelihoods and also promote a healthy lifestyle. And good news also is that organic clothing does not anymore have that dull and boring ‘special organic look’ it used to have. Meanwhile, it’s cute and colorful, too. So, except for its outstanding safety and for a slightly higher price, – and sometimes not even that – it hardly differs from any other clothing anymore.
