5 Plus Size Sustainable Fashion Brands to Know

Arianna Masse · June 10, 2021
5 Plus Size Sustainable Fashion Brands to Know
Hey there! Here at Ecodessa, we recently added an extended sizes collection of plus size apparel! Our current new items are from Hope and Harvest, one of the top plus size labels in the world! Hope and Harvest has been featured in various high profile magazines, showcased in New York Fashion Week, and used to dress celebrities like Rebel Wilson. Harvest Powell, designs Hope and Harvest pieces with the intent of making high-end fashion accessible to curvy women. This mission is reflected in each consciously crafted piece.
Hope and Harvest is produced and based in Australia, and uses fair-trade agreements for any of their off shore production. Manufacturing is closely monitored in order to assure the ethical treatment of workers. Additionally, Hope and Harvest is at the forefront of the body positivity movement in the fashion industry. For these reasons, we are proud to carry this brand at Ecodessa! 

Check out the new Hope and Harvest pieces here!
  .
.
We are so excited about the new additions to the shop, as we continue on our constant journey to make Ecodessa as inclusive as possible! So in that spirt, we thought we'd share some more great sustainable brands with plus size options!

LOUD BODIES
LOUD BODIES was founded by 23 year old Patricia Luiza Blaj, with the goal of making comfortable and fashionable clothes for every body. Frustrated with the lack of stylish clothing options that fit her, Patricia struggled with body image. She then began to realize she was not alone. Women of ALL shapes and sizes have insecurities because they are told they should by the media, friends, family, and brands. This societal message fueled Particia to create LOUD BODIES, a collection of bright bold pieces reflective of the truth that everyone deserves to live out loud.
From the company's founding in 2018, sustainability has been a consideration. LOUD BODIES uses recycled packaging, invests in the offset of their carbon emissions, and eliminates waste wherever they can. They have even turned scrap fabric into pillows and donated them to puppy shelters. In 2019, Patricia made the decision to more wholly embrace sustainability and announced that all LOUD BODIES items will be made only from sustainable fabrics. Despite the curveball that was the pandemic, the company has successfully continued on this mission.

HOURS
Based in New York City, HOURS was inspired by the lack of diversity in the luxury clothing market. Co-founders and sister-in-laws, Harroop Kaur and Naaz Gulati were tired of having to tell their plus size friends that the clothing they liked did not come in their size. So they set out to create modern, high quality, and elegant pieces for plus size women. HOURS designs fill the gap between boring basics and loud patterns, with the intent of creating versatile clothing women will want to wear again and again.
Sustainable and ethical practices are at the core of HOURS operations. The company works with ethical suppliers and conducts regular audits throughout their supply chain to ensure worker safety, fair compensation, and proper waste disposal. Other sustainability efforts in HOURS' operations include upcycling, elimination of plastic, and a minimalistic shipping model.

Sotela
 Sotela makes consciously crafted clothing that celebrates all bodies. Body appreciation is at the heart of their mission, as their ultimate goal is "to restore your relationship with clothing and celebrate the strength and resilience of your body". Hanna Barbor-Padilla created Sotela to cater to the reality that bodies are constantly changing. She decided women should have pieces that always fit, even when they are bloated, are pregnant, lose weight, and gain weight. Sotela clothing is forgiving, so you can count on it through all stages of life.
Sotela not only enables women to be more sustainable by reducing their clothing consumption, but they produce their pieces sustainably as well. They hand-make all pieces in their California studio and use fabrics like Tencel, modal, and linen to minimize their environmental impact. Additionally, Sotela's packaging and marketing items are made from recycled materials.

DAY/WON
 
DAY/WON is a size-inclusive, sustainable athletic brand on a mission to empower women to feel unstoppable. With every style available in sizes 0 to 32, DAY/WON is the first 100% size-inclusive activewear brand in the United States! Made with sweat-wicking, compression, and antimicrobial fabrics, each piece is performance ready. Fashion model Candice Huffine was training for a marathon when she realized there were extremely limited high-performance activewear options for women over size 10. After she crossed the finish line, she decided to create DAY/WON to help other women embrace their authentic selves and stop telling themselves they "can't". DAY/WON has won awards from SELF, Women's Health, and Women's Running Magazine for the quality and fit of their clothing.
DAY/WON manufactures their items on-demand, with recycled materials, right in upstate New York. Their fun prints are digitally constructed and never water dyed. These practices eliminate water pollution as well as the over-use of resources.

Thank you so much for reading! Sustainability and inclusivity should be staples in the fashion industry and these brands are doing their part to make this the case. I hope you enjoyed learning about these brands as much as I did. Please let us know if we missed any good ones and stop in the showroom to check out our new size-inclusive arrivals!

xoxo
