In 2021 it is becoming more and more important that we leave fast fashion brands behind and turn to smaller businesses that work on their sustainability. I have done my research and found some affordable Sustainable Clothing Brands that are in the UK.
Of course, I occasionally still shop on fast fashion sites such as Shein and Boohoo but I have massively reduced the amount I buy off those sites and I am turning to small businesses and I use Depop a lot more.

I love this! I’ve been wanting to shop from more sustainable brands but I haven’t even heard of any of these before, so they are great new discoveries for me! I’ll definitely be bookmarking some of them xx
I only knew NAKD beforehand but will check the others out. They all sound lovely! I am saddened that since Brexit many small UK retailers find it difficult to ship to EU leaving many of my clients without their favorite British fashion. Hope these brands are able to ship to the continent ❤️
We love this! We’ve been supporting local brand and shops here in the Philippines that sells and promotes sustainable products
Love this post. I have been looking for more sustainable clothing brands. Nobody’s Child and Hirestreet sound like my kind of company. Will look into them.
Thanks

These are pretty new brands for me, although I have heard of Made by Millie and NAKD. I’ll definitely check out ROOP! Thank you for sharing these <3
This is such a helpful post. I will definitely be checking these brands out. Thank you for sharing your recommendations.
I like the clothing rental idea! I considered that for an event I had one year but it was really expensive, I ended up just wearing a dress from my wardrobe instead! This is a great list, thanks for sharing 🙂
Hope that you are having a nice weekend! It’s a bit of a wet one here.
Thank you so much for sharing these, I really need to get some new clothes and want to be more sustainable! 🙂
I really like Hire street, they have some great pieces. Another similar one is Endless Wardrobe!

Thanks for sharing. We want to do more research on sustainable fashion in the United States.
I used to shop at fash fashion stores and website all the time, but after I learned about how unsustainable it is & how horribly the workers are treated, I definitely reduced my shopping & started thrifting & shopping my closet.
However, I do still want to buy new clothes every now & then so I’ll definitely keep these brands in mind!
Wow ! You have so many options of sustainable fashion brands ! I love NAKD & Nobody’s Child ! The clothes look amazing ! Great post !
Thank you for this, it’s always good to shop with the smaller companies and with money being so tight it’s nice to hear of the ones that won’t cost the earth
These all look amazing! I’ve only heard of NAKD but the others look promising as well. Thanks for sharing! x
