Welcome back to The Code of Style, and this feature about 5 Sustainable Fashion Brands to have on your radar featuring some of our favorite sustainable fashion picks.
With World Cleanup Day taking place recently on 17 September 2022, uniting millions of volunteers, governments and organisations to work towards building a new and sustainable world, the issue of sustainable fashion is at the forefront of many of our minds.
But what is sustainable fashion, and which brands should you have on your radar? Well, briefly, sustainable fashion takes account of the entire lifecycle of a garment and covers the sourcing, production and distribution and results in higher quality clothes that last longer. So by buying sustainable, you are reducing your carbon footprint and also curating a wardrobe full of timeless, high quality clothes.
Read on for our roundup of our sustainable faves!
5 Sustainable Fashion Brands to have on your radar
The Games We Play
The Games We Play is a women’s RTW brand designed in Byron Bay, Australia. The Games We Play is a story about the heart of a woman, searching for love, challenging the unspoken rules of romance.
Inspired by the sensual luxury of tropical beaches, palm trees and luxury summer travel, their small collections are a sensual timeless journey of self discovery and exploration.
Each piece is a limited edition to be collected and cherished. Thoughtfully created from sustainable silk, their fabrics have a sensual melting texture that reminds us of our innate beauty. Each woman is uniquely complex. She is strong although soft, our art is our self expression and our clothing is our external reflection of our inner beauty and the love we have for ourselves.

VELANCHE
VELANCHE will release small collections every three months in order to not encourage over-consumption, using only natural fibers (silk, cotton, viscose, linen, etc.). Each season, VELANCHE will offer a sustainable wardrobe that is both fashionable and timeless, with each piece designed to be worn and re-worn endlessly, without falling out of fashion.
The VELANCHE collections target Gen-Z women, with pieces ranging from strong suits to delicate dresses; blending a perfect androgynous attitude and style, with sensual colors and fabrics that marry feminine and masculine designs. With dresses ranging from soft colors to dark, and fine lace materials to dry fabrics, the entire line creates a mood inspired by the iconic fashion of the ‘90s.
In addition, they ensure manufacturers and factories are all OEKO-TEX certified, using recycled fabrics and yarns, and they use recycled and bio-degradable materials for their packaging.

SINBONO
SINBONO is well-known for its trendy and chic designs that pay close attention to the smallest details, and they are committed to keeping all their materials cruelty-free and earth friendly, with an enduring emphasis on sustainability.
“We believe that we are building more than a brand – we are constructing a fashion legacy that is dedicated to every trendsetter that cares as much about the environment as they do about their runway-ready ensemble. “
They use recycled plastic bottles and reclaimed fruit leathers to create their signature range of vegan bags, so you can enjoy a completely guilt-free purchase when you buy a premium quality SINBONO handbag. Here are a few of my favorite picks from their collection.

NMB New York (Upcycled Men’s & Women’s Clothing)
NMB New York designs are based on upcycling, meaning that they take vintage clothing, deconstruct them, then use them as fabric to create new, upgraded NMB original clothing. No NMB piece of clothing looks the same so every customer can create their own unique expression.
NMB aims to rebrand the idea of upcycling, giving it an edge and luxury feel, whilst making strides toward a fashionably cleaner world and a healthier environment.

Parisienne et Alors releases a new collection every 2 months, with pieces that are designed and manufactured in their Parisian workshops, mainly from natural fibres, such as Cotton, Viscose, and Wool, and when they require Polyester, it is recycled Polyester.
The factories they work with are OEKO-TEX certified factories, and an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabric has been controlled at each stage of processing (raw materials, yarns, dyeing) and does not contain any chemicals that are harmful to health.
