Your Humorous Guide to Sustainable and Ethical Fashion

Once, in a department store, I found a sweater for $5. It was beige, which is always a bad sign, but I bought it anyway because the tag said “soft-touch.” It did not specify whose touch, but judging by how it pilled after a single wash, I’d say it was the brief, reluctant touch of Bangladeshi child who had to sew 800 of them before lunch. That was when I realized: maybe my clothes shouldn’t cost less than my starbucks.

I think you should be able to wear something without feeling like it came at the expense of a Bangladeshi child’s eyesight, depleting an aquifer, or, worse, your own dignity. I believe in fashion that makes you feel good—without having to avoid documentaries for the rest of your life.

What We Do

I'm not here to shame you for shopping on Shein. (Keep your secrets.) I want to help you make choices that won’t leave you with a closet full of regret and a conscience that itches worse than a wool scarf. Through education, resources, and tips that don’t require moving back into your parents house, I'd like to help you:

• Shop like you mean it: Learn which brands are actually doing good, and which are just putting a green leaf on the label and calling it a day.

• Buy better, buy less: Because “quality over quantity” works for clothes and dating ​​

• Get circular: Master the arts of swapping, thrifting, and upcycling

• Support Indigenous creators: Center their work, celebrate it, and stop acting surprised when it’s better than anything at the mall.

• Find your style without losing your soul: Dress in a way that reflects your values—and maybe even your actual personality—without harming people, animals, or the planet.

• Understand the mess: See how the fashion and jewelry industries treat workers, animals, and the environment like a roll of paper towels—disposable and destined for landfill.

In short, I'd like to help you shop without the creeping suspicion that your outfit is quietly plotting the Earth’s demise.
