sourcing fabrics

Companies make a variety of ethical and eco claims. Some are doing ground-breaking work and are making a real difference, others are more hype than substance. Fashioning an Ethical Industry has not vetted any of the following companies that claim to supply 'eco-fabrics'. It is up to you to look beyond the marketing and make up your own mind about their ethical and eco credentials.
