Bassike has set some high sustainable goals for the next ten years and have achieved so much in the last 14 since opening. The organic cotton jersey is their signature garment - but there is no transparency of origin of cotton or standards for sourcing the cotton. They source leather from Italy and denim from Japan from supposedly family, run and sustainable certified business but there is no transparency on the supply chains or manufacturer standards, or textile origin. They have zero waste with their organis jersey range and working on minimising waste in other areas as much as possible, as well as little energy when producing garments. They have compostable packagine, reuse plastics and donate waste to fashion schools. They are on a good role but are lacking in overall transparency with supply chain, fabric sourcing, social and environmental impact.

Carlie Ballard is passionate about no waste and toxins coming out of the fashion industry. Hand-loom doesn't require electricity in the dying and weaving stages. Hand-loom is powered by humans.

Boomerangz uses a signature material mix that includes an organic additive that enhances the biodegradation process to less than a year - impressive! They are made cruelty free and vegan certified material and claim their manufacturers annd suppliers adhere to a strict code of an audit trail along the chain. Their packagaing is 100% compostable and accept any broken thong straps back to the factory to recycale again! They just lack supply chain transparency, origins of textile material, manufacturing and social impact!

Kirstin Ash is on its way to greatness - They claim their suppliers source conflict-free materials in line with the Signet Responsible Sourcing Protocol, and aim to use 100% recycable metals. They claim to work closely with suppliers and that their values are aligned. They list commitment but there is otherwise very little transparency in the supply chain. Their packaging is all sustainable and recycable, whilst looking fancy - good. They have also reduced plastic in their studio by 70% and send off to be re-made. They can improve with transparency in supply chain, textile origins and manufacture location.

There is little information regarding the products, but they mention the Wetsuit Jackets use plant based oil as opposed to crude oil and that there are limited numbers of them.

Auguste The Label teamed up with Fashion Revolution and delved deep into the transparency of their manufacturing process. Auguste The Label is committed to providing the wages and conditions for the employers, as well as using less cotton until they find ethical farming conditions.

The mostly use other materials like Enocyl, linen, hemp, ramie, curpro and rayon which are all natural fibres, use less water and made sustainably. This brand is a big win for the ethical fashion movement. They might want to add more details in the supply chain, origin of fabric and their packaging methods and waste management.
