Ethically minded consumers of fashion products in North America can now rely on a sustainable fashion search engine called 'Ethical Clothing' to help them go about finding and purchasing fashion items from brands that have a strong sustainability ethos.
Created in the Spanish city of Barcelona, the 'Ethical Clothing' fashion search engine allows users to go about using filters to peruse items based on materials, price, apparel type and target gender. However, evolved versions of 'Ethical Clothing' will feature detailed sustainability ratings and more intricate filters.
What's more, 'Ethical Clothing' also aims to tackle the assumption around ethical products being exorbitantly expensive by offering a price drop alert option to help users access great deals. The search engine also offers a fashion footprint calculator that helps consumers understand how their purchasing decisions can affect the planet.
