The Carbon Closet team recently took a trip to Kings Road in London to search for our favourite and most sustainable brands. We looked at affordability, ethics and values, and created this list to inspire your next sustainable spree! With just under two miles of stores, running through the centre of Chelsea, Kings Road is bound to have whatever sustainable piece you’re after! In no particular order, here are our top 6 sustainable fashion shops on Kings Road...

1.Farm Rio
Hard to miss with it’s beautifully intricate wall murals and unique displays rather than rails, Farm Rio hosts organic cotton dresses and two pieces, as well as forward-thinking viscose: Lenzing EcoVero. We love that one-of-a-kind print that appears on majority of Farm Rio garments that pays homage to their Brazilian routes. We also love the Farm Rio x Barbour pieces that combine Brazilian Prints and colours with classic British shapes and tartan!

2.Aspiga
The go-to for all your wardrobe staples, Aspiga is our favourite place to put together a sustainable capsule wardrobe that provides as the canvas for your eco-friendly creativity. We loved the sustainable sourced cotton corduroy dresses in an aray of colours- we can definitely see them at your next work christmas party! Or if you’re still in the mood for some pieces for next summer, the organic cotton summer dresses, paired with their naturally based sunglasses will keep you excited until your next holiday!

3. Ganni
Another great closet capsule store- Ganni is one of the most transparent and accountable stores on Kings Road. Our team went head-over-heels for their vegan-leather mini bou bags that would add the perfect finishing touch to your winter outfit. Like these bags, a lot of their compositions are made from recycled components, including their circle collar dresses (which has a removable collar!) We have to praise Ganni for their seamless merging of eco-friendly with elegant!

4. Cos
For all you dark and earthy colour lovers, Cos is your number one brand for organic cottons and recycled wools. Their pieces have a loose yet elegant fit and their solid colour, print-less garments provide you with a look that’s as sharp and clean as their sourcing. Cos is also one of the most budget-friendly brands in this list, but in no way does that mean they compromise on value and quality. The Carbon Closet team thinks Cos pieces should be a requirement in everyone’s wardrobe!

5. Reformation
Reformation rank themselves as number two in the most sustainable ranking, claiming that being naked is number one! We personally prefer Reformation’s collections, particularly their extensive denim range, created using either organic or recycled cotton. They have also partnered with SuperCircle to set up a recycling scheme for any Reformation item’s you’re looking to pass on or re-home, from which you can earn credit; The Carbon Closet loves this future-thinking innovation!
