I would love to have our brand added to this list.
I work for the sustainable clothing brand, Encircled! We’re on a mission to help women build better, kinder closets full of sweatshop free and earth friendly designs that don’t compromise their style or comfort.
We’re a small brand based in Toronto who produces everything locally here using fairly paid labour. We’re even starting to knit some of our own fabric in Toronto, and use a range of sustainable options such as Bamboo, Tencel, Modal and Recycled fleece.Our dream is to create our own small scale production so we can truly monitor quality and treatment of workers from end to end. Sustainability is incorporated into our business in numerous ways from our office culture to our 100% recyclable packaging.
