Ethical fashion brands at low prices for back to college or work

Are you looking for boho, ethical fashion brands at low prices for back-to-college (or back to work)? If you ever thought of ditching “fast fashion” for more eco-conscious, ethical brands but you thought it would be too expensive, think again.

Hello my beautiful friends!
Are you one of those people who believe that ethical clothing is something that a) looks like only a drunk hippie would wear (nothing against drunk hippies) or b) only rich people can afford? If you are – good news! – this is no longer the case: ethical fashion brands and nowadays not only have fair trade clothing that looks amazingly stylish but they are also fairly priced.

But how do they do it? If you compare small online ethical boutiques with the fast-fashion giants, you’ll see right away that having no intermediaries, no physical stores, little or no advertisement budgets and lowering their margin are the secrets to keeping the prices reasonable while still maintaining integrity. Also, producing less has a positive impact on their budget: many eco-friendly fashion brands produce only a few collection pieces per year,thus reducing their costs.

If you’re shopping for back-to-college (or back to work) ethical clothes, these are the brands I love that have found a way to blend ethics into affordable designs. I’ve picked a few items to showcase their style but there’s much more to see, so make sure to visit them!
