Sustainability is Fashionable
Fashion follows the trends, and the past few years have shown the trends leaning heavily towards sustainability. One study showed that internet searches for "sustainable fashion" tripled between 2016 and 2019. This trend is led strongly by Gen Z and Millennial consumers, who together represent $350 billion in spending power in the U.S. alone. Statistics show that nine in ten Gen Z consumers believe companies have an obligation and responsibility to address environmental issues.
So we wanted to share with our amazing customers some of the brands we have recently added to our lineup of high quality blank apparel, in our effort to keep sustainable fashion in mind as we move forward!
