Top 5 Sustainable Fashion Brands in India You Should Know About
Team Nete brings to you pioneering Indian sustainable fashion brands you can shop from guilt-free!
The fashion industry is one of the world's most polluting industries. From water pollution to carbon emissions, the fast fashion industry is a major contributor to these issues. But all is not hopeless yet! One of the best ways to reduce this environmental impact is to become a conscious consumer.
A shift toward conscious consumerism is fueled by growing awareness about the detrimental effects of fast fashion, including pollution, exploitative labor, and excessive resource consumption. There has been an incredible momentum to this movement in the last decade. As more people have started embracing sustainable fashion and conscious consumerism, the industry is undergoing transformative change. When you shop from us, you choose to become a big part of the change.
But, what is Sustainable Fashion?
Sustainable fashion refers to clothing, footwear, and accessories that are designed, produced, and consumed in ways that minimize environmental impact and promote social well-being. This could mean using eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, hemp, and recycled fabrics, adopting ethical labor practices, reducing waste through upcycling and circular fashion models and prioritizing quality over quantity to ensure longevity. At Nete, we envisioned a future 10 years back which would be good for the people as well as the planet. Every brand you shop from are brands that align with these values and advocate for transparency in supply chains.
