Net Sustain
We’ve all heard of and love Net-a-Porter, but you might be less familiar with its sustainability platform, aimed to make mindful shopping easier. Net Sustain, which first launched in June 2019, curates and celebrates fashion and beauty items that meet at least one of its eight key attributes, taking into account human, animal and environmental welfare. It could be a jumper that exemplifies exceptional craftmanship or a vegan beauty product, but this is an easy way of finding some of the industry’s most consciously made luxury products.

Gather&See
UK-based company Gather&See allows shoppers not only to browse via standard clothing categories, but also by philosophy – for example, vegan or eco-friendly or the preservation of traditional techniques and artisan methods. Offering multi-brand clothing, accessories and beauty, Gather&See has an excellent curation of little-known rising brands that deserve recognition. There’s a pleasingly bohemian appeal to many of the pieces, from perfect handspun wool cardigans to colourful raffia bags.
