Making environmentally conscious shopping decisions in today\u2019s retail landscape isn\u2019t as easy as it should be. With Earth Day, April 22, right around the corner, we\u2019re paying a daily homage to notable up-and-coming labels that are rooting their ethos and manufacturing processes in creating sustainable products.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

At a time when Zara is launching new products every week (if not multiple times a week), it’s not every day we find a brand that’s choosing to do the complete opposite: slow down. Even labels like Reformation and Everlane, which we love for their transparency and sustainable production, are encouraging people to buy more with continual hyped-up drops and frequent new arrivals. That’s why, this Earth Day, we’ve decided to highlight brands that are doing things smart \u2014 not just fast.<\/p>\n

De Smet, a New York garment district born-and-made label that encourages the slow build of a wardrobe over time, releases just one item at a time. Founder Christina De Smet decided to position her company around a lifestyle of conscious, finespun pieces that are crafted using only high-quality, hand-picked fabrics and are sold made-to-order in New York City. Only one piece is released per month, resulting in a single collection of 12 cohesive designs available by the end of each year. The clothes range from a tent dress that can be worn both loose and cinched at the waist to a classic, cropped trouser and boxy blazer (but the vibe is more minimalist and less typical business casual), with prices from about $150 to $450.<\/p>\n
