buying clothing

Lately the discussion often appeared about fair trade/ green/ clean clothing.
People often assume it´s still very difficult to find clothing which is produced with these standards. So I always give people lists with names where they can find what is needed and thought it could be useful to have it on my blog.

So besides using you own clothing as long as possible (with pimping and refashioning stuff) or buying 2nd hand this is a selection of shops I personally like and that can offer an alternative:

Avocado store- an online market in Germany where you can find all kinds of products for the green lifestyle
ThokkThokk - a label from Munich, selling basic and printed fair trade shirts for reasonable prices
Goodtruebeautiful-  onlineshop selling e.g. shoes from terra plana (made of recycled and natural materials) and fair trade jeans from kuyichi
Wear Aware- small online shop selling femme apparel
Grüne Erde - a company original from austria sells bedding, simple clothing with good cuts and materials as well as cosmetic on eco-quality
Schuhsign- online shops for eco-shoes
Glore - small online shop: clothing and shoes for all genders
ASOS- green room- ASOS is a huge online store selling all kinds of fashion, the green room offers for example products from the people tree or FIN Oslo
Sarenza- huge online shoe store from France, selling shoes from for your earth
Armed Angels - printed shirts and so on
