Plain Fairtrade tees for men by Ralper
My partner and I were chatting with the PR manager for an ethical clothing retailer the other day and my partner pointed out that whilst ethical fashion for women has come on in leaps and bounds, men seem to have drawn the short straw. Having done a bit of research, I have to agree with him.

Joey D’s recycled clothing
Joey D is a legend in Edinburgh. His shop lies in the heart of the gay district, and from the outside it looks very unassuming, but inside it’s a venerable cornucopia of great clothing and accessories. He uses everything from pieces of army camouflage to old boiler suits…

Turtle bag
I must say with all this talk of designer eco-bags recently, I thought I would add something too, you know how much I hate being left out. Well you would know if you knew me! I have scoured the web and found something that ticks all the boxes for a stylish eco-bag. Well, it’s sort of anti-stylish chic really, like geek chic for a bag. The fact that it isn’t stylish makes it stylish right?

Billboard ‘Baby Bags’ by WAS
It took me ages to accept I actually needed a special bag to keep all the random bits and pieces you carry once you’ve had a baby, and when I did give in, it took even longer to find one that wasn’t pink or frilly. If only I’d known about WAS bags. The Kiwi company save old billboards from a grim landfill death, and turn them into funky bags, including a range especially for bambinos…

Bamford & Sons organic men’s collection
“Very nice indeed,” is what I have to say about Bamford & Sons. After opening their newest store in Sloane Square they now introduce a capsule collection of organic and ecologically sensitive clothes and accessories for Spring/Summer. Every garment is made with certified organically grown cotton and un-dyed fabrics. They also boast eco-leather jackets, which use vegetable dyes instead of chemicals, organic cotton trousers, muslin shirts and organic yarn sweaters – and so they should boast. It’s just very nice stuff and great to see simply and well designed ethical men’s fashion. Check out their equally impressive website.
