Problem

There are currently a lot of barriers to purchasing sustainable fashion

Harder for brands to scale

Often have smaller selection and release only a couple collections a year to put emphasis towards clothing quality and extended lifespan

Inaccessible

Unlike fast fashion, which dominates malls, stores, and marketplaces, sustainable fashion is much more dispersed and not easy to find.

No universal definition to sustainability

Many brands frequently feign their credibility through “greenwashing.” The lack of transparency in fashion makes directing consumers to truly sustainable brands much harder.
