One of the biggest lures of fast retail is that it’s cheap and easily accessed. This becomes more tempting, and in many cases unavoidable, in difficult economic times. While we want to be sustainable and care for our planet, sometimes spending £70 on a plain white T-shirt just isn’t realistic. In fairness, many eco-brands price higher because they use first-rate, sustainable fabrics and ethical practices, which inevitably hikes up costs. The ability to shop consciously shouldn’t be for a select few. Here’s a selection of brands dedicated to selling quality, environmentally-friendly products without burning a hole in your pocket.
