Fall Fashion 2019: Sustainably Sourced and Responsibly Manufactured Pieces at Nordstrom

Retail therapy. It’s always something to look forward to every payday or during the holidays. After all, it’s always fun to try out new clothes, shoes, and accessories and bring home a new piece that you look good in. But did you know that the fashion industry is hugely impacting the environment? According to Sustain Your Style, the fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world following the oil industry. If you can’t imagine the environmental impact of producing clothes in mass numbers, imagine this: textile factories often dump untreated toxic wastewaters into rivers and other water forms, harming aquatic life with its lead, mercury, arsenic, and other damaging chemicals.

 

The fashion industry also consumes a lot of water because cotton growers need to water the plants regularly. In fact, about 1.5 trillion liters of water are used up by the fashion industry annually, with 200 tons of fresh water required to dye just one ton of fabric. So what can we, as consumers, do about alleviating the pollution problem caused by the fashion industry? For one, we need to be conscious consumers. We must make an effort to find out how the clothes we buy are made of materials that are sustainable and made with processes that minimize environmental impact. Research on brands that have socially conscious values. Nordstrom helps consumers make a better choice by curating a set of products that are made of sustainably sourced materials such as organic cotton, recycled polyester and materials with certifications like bluesign® and Fair Trade Certified™.

 

Nordstrom also curates products that are responsibly manufactured in factories that provide fair wages to their workers and efficiently manage the use of resources and their impact on the environment. In preparation for the new season, we’ve rounded up a list of sustainably sourced and responsibly manufactured pieces at Nordstrom. Let this be your guide for a more socially conscious Fall Fashion 2019 collection.
