Spring is here but at least in London that doesn’t quite mean you don’t need layers anymore. You definitely still do. But if your winter coat is a bit too warm you might be in need of something to at least keep you covered for a bit longer until it’s time to undress for summer. Here’s a conscious edit of six sustainable and ethical favourites amongst the coats and jackets out there. Hope you like them!
Stylish and simple trench by Zady using organic cotton dyed in Switzerland without the use of harmful chemicals, with the coat being sewn and finished in NYC’s garment district.
Love everything about this Reformation trench in 100% tencel – the colour, the oversized model and the cut on the back, and the fact that it’s made out of one of the most environmentally friendly fabrics around.
A slightly edgier/cooler/more colourful choice is this brilliant biker by Vaute in waxed canvas – vegan, eco friendly and created locally in NYC.
Another excellent sleek and chic coat in 100% tencel – this one by Swedish brand Maska woven in Italy.
Perfect mix of stylish/sporty/comfortable/water-resistant – anorak by Everlane crated in a small, specialised factory in Shenzen, China (you can find out more about the factories and costs of making the items on the website).
For when you can pretty much get away with wearing Summer clothes – this Peope Tree drape jacket made with 100% organic certified cotton.
