Where to look for them
Britain has a really good range of guilt-free clothes shops. Better than a lot of countries anyway. So it’s worth having a look round. Some of the shops are quite small and just sell one type of thing. Some of them only sell through their websites.
Here is a complete list of guilt-free clothes companies.
Here is a map of all UK shops that sell organic clothes.
If you want to know when guilt-free clothes fairs and markets are happening, often with big discounts, email info@ethicalfashionforum.com with 'put me on your mailing list' in the subject line and they'll keep you posted.
You could go to a Swishing Party and trade your nice but neglected clothes for fabulous, free, new clothes.
You could give your old clothes to TRAID via your local recycling bank. TRAID will sell them in their charity shops and give the money to overseas development projects. If they’re a bit worse for the wear (torn, stained, irretrievably unfashionable), the TRAIDremade designers take them apart, refashion them into something beautiful and sell them in one of their shops.
You could buy a pair of Worn Again shoes, great designs created from a whole range of weird and wonderful recycled materials, from car seat belts and parachutes to prison blankets and suit jackets.
