Sale Roundup, Labor Day 2017

Hello, hello! It’s another holiday weekend here in the United States, which means sales galore. Massive retailers like Urban Outfitters, H&M, and Forever 21 will be trying to lure consumers in with their promises of rock-bottom prices. But I know those clothes come at too great of a cost—water pollution, millions of pounds of textile waste, child labor, poor working conditions, and so on—and I don’t want that guilt weighing on my mind while I shop! (Ironic, isn’t it, that on Labor Day there are so many companies encouraging people to buy products that embody the opposite of what this holiday stands for?)

So I’ve rounded up some holiday sales being hosted by brands and companies that use fair labor and/or sustainable practices. Most of the brands in the list cater to the “womenswear” side, but if you’re looking for brands that cater to “menswear,” check out Alas, Pact, and Stock Mfg. Co., as well as the unisex Big Bud Press and Faircloth & Supply, all listed below too. Of course, gender descriptions shouldn’t limit where we shop. 🙂

Take a gander at all of this ethically made goodness:
