There are numerous benefits to opting for organic clothing. Conventionally grown cotton uses more pesticides than any other crop in the entire world. These toxic chemicals can not only be harmful to you, but also (and more so) to the farmers and manufacturers who contribute to the garments, and the environment in which it’s grown.
Convinced? Here are some of the best organic clothing brands in Australia.
Bon Label
Bon is an Australian brand that’s all about ethical, sustainable, luxe essentials for women. The label is renowned for its “unf*ckupable” basic tee – a meticulously designed, expertly crafted piece with maximum versatility and style. However, Bon offers a range of très chic sweaters, skirts and dresses made with certified organic materials. They also employ plenty of impressive eco-friendly practices to reduce their impact on the environment, like using business cards made from fabric off-cuts.
Vege Threads
