We Do NOT Support Fast Fashion
April is a special month for us at Meadow Collective for a lot of reasons. But the main two are Earth Day and Fashion Revolution. As a boutique that sources sustainable fashion and gifts from sustainable brands like Spell, Indah, and Nine Lives Bazaar as well as local artisans, we’re trying to do our part to bring awareness to the horrors of the fast fashion industry.
Our Sustainable Brands Featuring Hammies
You may have already seen a pair of Hammies shorts while scrolling through the depths of Instagram or Tiktok due to their popularity with rollerskaters. But if you haven’t, then allow me to explain why they’re one of my favorite brands. Born in Southern California, Hammies shorts exemplify the laidback Californian beach culture of the 70s and 80s.
Our Sustainable Brands Featuring Nine Lives Bazaar
I’m excited to announce a new brand that we’ll be carrying! Nine Lives Bazaar is an Australian brand that makes amazing, vintage-inspired pieces with the environment in mind. And besides the fun 70s style prints and retro designs, Nine Lives Bazaar makes each of its pieces with the idea that they’ll be able to last generation after generation.
Our Sustainable Brands Featuring Cape Porpoise Trading Co.
You can still look chic and stylish while dressing in clothes that are good for the environment and last a long time. And you can still wash your clothes, clean your dishes, brush your teeth, and decorate your home while using products that are better for our Earth. For this post, I’d like to bring up a new sustainable brand that I just started carrying in the shop: Cape Porpoise Trading Co.
Our Sustainable Brands Featuring Crap
Made in L.A., Crap is an independent sunglass brand that represents the cool, effortless Californian lifestyle. Designed with surfers and skaters in mind, Crap makes a variety of sunglass styles that range from a vibrant, candy-colored 70s retro vibe to a grunge 90s skate aesthetic. But, it’s not just the styles that make Crap easy to love. No, the brand’s commitment to sustainability and decent price point make it an ultimate summer must-have.
Our Sustainable Brands Featuring Spell
Here at Meadow Collective, one of our core values is sustainability. We care about selling high-quality clothes that are good for the planet. We don’t think that the future of fashion should be cheap and plastic-based. We don’t think that making the clothes we love means killing the planet we love. No, we’re in favor of a better method.
Spell’s 100% Sustainable Collection: Meadowland
The Meadowland collection is Spell’s first 100% sustainable collection. And even though Spell has always made its collections with sustainability in mind, this collection marks a massive milestone for Spell. To be even a little sustainable in clothing production requires a decent amount of effort, but to be completely sustainable requires an enormous commitment.
