American Apparel - United Kingdom

Info:  Is a vertically integrated manufacturer, distributor and retailer, based in downtown Los Angeles, California. We currently employ approximately 10,000 people globally (about 5,000 in LA), and operate more than 260 retail stores in 19 countries.

Within our business model, knitting, dyeing, cutting, sewing, photography, marketing, distribution, and design all happen in the company's facilities in Los Angeles. The company operates the largest garment factory in the United States, at a time when most apparel production has moved offshore. With our recently opened stores in China, we are now selling Made in USA clothing in the largest consumer market in the world.

American Apparel leverages art, design and technology to advance the business process, while continuing to pioneer industry standards of social and environmental responsibility in the workplace. We try to do everything possible to minimize our ecological footprint. By creating organic products, our business minimizes its impact on the environment, while maintaining the same comfort and style American Apparel is known for. Our Organic Collection is a selection of our most popular styles made from 100% USDA Certified Organic and pesticide-free cotton.

Ascension - the new Adili

Info:  We thought, "if only there was a department store where every collection on offer had the highest possible eco credentials. Where fairly made, organic and recycled products sat side by side, beautifully crafted and desirably chic".

So, we set out to create just this and have filled it with over 80 of the best sustainable and fair brands from around the world. Adili's philosophy is both idealistic and simple: to bring you lovely, lifestyle things made beautifully, made fairly, and wherever possible, made from organic materials. We're working towards eco-perfection all the time – sometimes we reach it, sometimes we know there's a way to go. But we do everything in our power to get it right, closely monitoring supply chains, supporting suppliers, measuring and validating ethical credentials.

Bindi Bazar

Info:  Sells wonderful fair trade bags, which are made by the urban poor in India. The people in India who make these ethnic bags use the plastics others throw away. It's a wonderful idea: it supports recycling in India, provides extra income for the poor people who already collect the plastics and well, as you can see, these ethical bags look very good. We are delighted to bring these fair trade eco bags, jute bags, handbags, totes, jewellery and accessories to the UK.
