For many, denim is a wardrobe staple that spans all seasons, but the process of creating this hero piece can be quite detrimental to the planet. Made from cotton, it takes about 1,500 gallons of water to produce just one single pair of non-organic jeans! With the added effects of the pesticides used to grow the cotton, toxic dyes used in production, and questionable labour laws, it is no question that the production of denim comes with a weighted cost. As a solution, we’ve rounded up some notable denim brands with admirable ethics that are serving up sought-after styles without the added harm to the planet.
