9 Best Sustainable Fashion Brands UK (No Brexit Surprises!)

Buying locally has always been a fairly common practice among slow fashion aficionados as it reduces the carbon footprint of your clothes. 

However, finding the best sustainable fashion brands in the UK has become even more important after Brexit.

Did you know that you’ll now have to pay VAT and import duties after you’ve already covered the price of items bought from EU-based stores?

While we keep our fingers crossed and wait for our leaders to find a solution, here are some of the best ethical clothing brands in the UK to help you avoid unpleasant surprises.
