Would love to see more of this type of video (eg. Kotn and Frank and Oak). It should be a habit to analyze the company and process involved with the product before checking out items in the shopping cart online or offline.

I love that they say their clothes are “100% degradable.” Well, yeah—everything degrades. It’s called entropy. It’s literally one of the laws of thermodynamics!

Thank you for this sneak peek into your process for checking out a brand’s actual sustainability. A huge red flag is when nothing is mentioned about where the clothes are made and by whom.

Eye-opener. Also continually amazed on your fabric knowledge and all of the insights when analyzing a website. Still trying to understand how to keep sustainability not just in the product used but at the core of the overall production. Thank you so much!

I bought a few things from this brand and I really do love them, but I did think their sustainability statements were VERY sus. Plus it's way too affordable to be ethically produced. I think I was hoping against hope I was wrong

Thank you! I was just about to order, but I already picked up some red flags (vague About Me; cheap prices; yes, the fabrics did not seem that different from generic brands; and grammatical errors in the advertising). I really love the styles, so this will be an exercise in desire vs. environmental values. I really appreciate your breakdown.

Thank you so much for walking us through the process! This was super helpful and I feel like I have a better sense on how to judge corporations on their sustainability practices

[silliepixie]

This is great! Looking closer at what a brand is saying about themselves and thinking critically about the information they provide is a good practice. I'd love to see a guide to next steps. Where to verify the brands claims. Reliable 3rd party organizations that assess and report which companies are actually sustainable.

Love that you're sharing this! Thank you!!

I knew immediately when I saw the price of the items and how hard they were shoving "eco" and "sustainable" down my throat that they were greenwashing.

I LOVE that you do these types of education videos! I send them to so many of my friends as a sort of "here's something to learn about that can easily help you make more conscious choices"

[KairyMarquez]

Thank you! More of these videos please :)

[jennybanana]

Thanks so much for your great work! This shows once again that you should really inform yourself well and go deeper. A good reminder that next time I will take more time and not blindly trust what the companies publish on their site is certainly true

I love this video and how you walked us through it! So many people don’t know these things and just buy stuff of marketing.

I myself work with several companies that do drop shipping and many times the certifications aren’t even real :(

[t.nn.z]

I just stumbled across this brand and I could immediately tell they were greenwashing. The biggest red flag for me was seeing a “sustainable brand” with fast fashion prices. Glad I didn’t get duped into buying anything. Do your research people!!

[lovingbird]

Can you update this because I just came across their page again recently and now, they're B-Corp certified??!

[liseagnant]

I was about to purchase, thanks girlie!

[jen....]

Very interesting and helpful - thanks.

[jessicaallossery]

Great video! Thanks for the in depth info. I would love a video of your favorite/preferred clean and sustainable brands. :)

[kupikachu]

Yeah I just got an ad for them and I'm always looking for sustainable brands bc I typically thrift shop but sometimes want a new item :) their website had too many grammar errors and unsubstantiated claims for me to take their "sustainability" at face value. So I'm here lol. Thank you for looking into this
