Slow fashion brands
“Slow fashion brands you actually wear?”

I’m obsessed with the noble utility dress (both the long and classic/short version). They are comfy, sturdy and very cute! I have had my short utility dress for about 2 years and probably wear it once a week on average. It’s holding up really well and I’m definitely not sick of it. Also they are reasonably size inclusive (they go up to a 3x) and run either true to size or slightly large (at least for the dresses). Constantly debating whether to buy a 3rd one (or maybe branching out to a jumpsuit). Highly recommend this awesome brand.

The only blanks and basics I care about. Imagine if the three previously thought of as impossible to coalesce worlds of quality, design and ethics came together in perfect union. Most of their clothing is made from recycled materials, it's all made in the US, it's all made from well paid artisans, none of it is absurdly priced, it's all thoughtfully designed... I can't think of any downsides.

Thoughtful, feminine and beautifully designed. They have a shop in Whiterock that is well worth a visit to try on. And I believe most if not all of their pieces are sewn locally.
Another brand that uses organic natural fibers for all their pieces— which I adore. Stunning pieces & lots of versatility in the designs

Founded in 2013 by British husband-and-wife duo Saeed and Katy Al-Rubeyi, Story mfg. is known for its nature-friendly, "anti-fashion" aesthetic, the brand produces ethical, craft-forward garments utilizing organic fabrics and ancient, slow-dyeing techniques using natural materials like indigo, roots, and leaves. Kinda feels like if Kapital and Bode had a baby. Love.

Not Perfect Linen - - - - is actually perfect!
Handmade with quality linen. Made to order, which means less waste. Options to customize your ihttps://notperfectlinen.com/tems. They also offer an IG page that's called @nplcares and offers their items with minor issues at a great discount, you just comment and your name goes in a draw. They also have a current 30% off sale happening for newsletter subscribers. I'm hoping they start making bed linens soon!
i cannot express enough how good these clothes FEEL. touch their t-shirts one time and you know they'll last forever ... exactly what i want from my closet basics.

If anyone ever wants to buy me a gift, go to the Maiwa shop on Granville island, close your eyes, and choose anything. I’ll be happy. But, I’d be happier if you took me with you so I can try on every beautiful thing and admire their natural dye and craft supplies.

When I Can't Buy Vintage Clothes...

Sometimes (unfortunately) you have to get something new. Whether it's a suit, shoes, shorts, a hat — I'm going to prefer vintage every single time. When I can't buy vintage, these are the places I'm looking and the brands I'm buying from.
