This month, we’ve got six newly rated brands for you coming out on top with “Good” ratings. There’s upcycled denim, party wear, and seaweed underwear, to name a few. Let’s take a look.

Flax and Loom

Rated: Good

After spending 40 years working in denim, Phil Wildbore, Flax and Loom’s founder, has seen how dark the denim industry can be. That’s why he decided to create Flax and Loom, a UK-based, more sustainable denim brand aiming to contribute to a slower, more conscious clothing movement. The brand even works with the Seam to help you repair your products so they last longer.
