17 Sustainable Luxury Fashion Initiatives

These luxury fashion initiatives revolve around sustainability and range from vivid eco-friendly streetwear to plant-based designer hats.

Standouts like Chanel's gold boater hat -- which made its debut at the fashion house's most recent runway presentation -- is crafted out of pineapple fibers and felt replacing traditional leather materials. Additional standouts include skincare brand La Mer's limited edition "Blue Heart" jar which aims to raise awareness about ocean conservation efforts and Balenciaga and Barneys' recent Pride initiative which raised awareness about the harmful nature of single-use plastics with custom branded bags that were water-soluble.

Toronto-based eco-fashion firm olive + elliot rounds off this list and aims to help brands adopt more sustainable production practices by focusing on raw materials and agriculture's evolving role within the garment industry.
