Patagonia "We’re in business to save our home planet.

At Patagonia, we appreciate that all life on earth is under threat of extinction. We aim to use the resources we have—our business, our investments, our voice and our imaginations—to do something about it."

Re/Done ICONIC. SUSTAINABLE. INDIVIDUAL. "Our RE/DONE jeans are a celebration of the Levi’s jean’s past and a continuation of the jean’s individual story. We take the vintage denim apart at the seams, repurposing it as the fabric of our new jeans. We launched with one mid-rise modern skinny fit, and one irreverent, perfectly slouchy, borrowed-from-the-boys relaxed fit and have since added a perfect belly-button skimming high-rise cut. We are proud to manufacture our jeans in Downtown Los Angeles using water conserving methods and no harsh chemicals.

Quantities will always be limited since each pair is handpicked, hand cut, and distinctly one of a kind."

ThredUp LET'S MAKE A REAL FASHION STATEMENT. CHOOSE USED.

"Fashion is the second most polluting industry in the world behind oil.

That’s a lot of dirt on our backs. If fashion helps us express who we are and what we stand for, then our clothing choices matter. It matters that we throw 26 billion pounds of clothing into global landfill every year.

It matters that fashion will drain a quarter of the world’s carbon budget by 2050. It matters that a single T-shirt takes 700 gallons of water to produce. The choices we make matter.

To our planet. To our kids."
