You might’ve seen our post on the best sustainable fashion brands for adding color to your wardrobe (read here if not) but I think it’s about time we talked accessories. To be honest, I’m pretty simple when it comes to accessories, but I like to make a statement with whatever bag or embellishment I do carry. It’s my way of elevating an otherwise lazy outfit which I’m pretty guilty of sporting on the reg (I mean, it’s a pandemic, we all are at this point).
I also love that accessories are a great way to get started with ethical shopping. It’s a nice way to support one of your favorite designers, and some of them are easier on the wallet than gifting a larger clothing item from those brands. Alright, onto the 16 sustainable accessories we’ve had our eyes on as of late. Do let us know in the comments if you have any to add!
