From Fast Fashion to Lasting Fashion: 5 Sustainable Clothing Brands in Singapore

Thinking of reinventing your closet and shifting to sustainable clothing brands in Singapore? We have some in mind that we’d love for you to check out!

 

Now more than ever, as consumers, we have to be more conscious of how our decisions and actions can impact the environment. This includes the food we eat down to the clothes we choose to wear.

 

We’ve rounded up five sustainable clothing brands in Singapore that can help you live a more eco-friendly lifestyle in style!

 

1. Something to Hold

 

If your personal style revolves around classic cut dresses and billowy blouses, you’re going to want to check out Something to Hold. There’s something for every lifestyle, shape, size, and age.

 

The brand ensures that every piece they design and produce is made from sustainably sourced fabrics and crafted by traditional artisans. 

 

We like that it’s a brand with pieces that you can wear anywhere and on any occasion, whether it's a Friday night party or a quick weekend brunch with your college friends.

 

The people behind Something to Hold not only want women to wear something sustainable and stylish but also own timeless clothes that can be worn for a long time. 

 

2. OliveAnkara

 

OliveAnkara is one of the most popular sustainable clothing brands in Singapore, so it’s probably already part of your shortlist. 

 

The primary reason we love this brand is how they take inspiration from traditional African culture and showcase them through their clothes. Vibrant colours and bold prints are their signature looks, so we’d call every piece a head-turner.

 

The brand champions sustainability by prioritising quality or quantity, so every collection is made in small productions to make sure that each piece is unique and premium. 

 

3. Sui

 

Operating out of Singapore and India, Sui takes a holistic approach to sustainability by working exclusively with organic fabrics and committing to a zero-waste policy. The majority of their garments are also dyed naturally.

 

It’s apparent that the brand considered Singapore’s weather in coming up with the designs, so most pieces are oversized and made from cool and lightweight fabrics. We like that we won’t likely be sweating in them!

 

From basic t-shirts and dresses to trousers and jumpsuits, the brand carries everything you need to build a sustainable wardrobe!

 

4. Grayestudio

 

Any closet isn’t complete without basic and minimalist pieces, so you might want to check out Grayestudio if these are your everyday staples or what your closet is currently lacking. 

 

The brand aims to reinvent sustainable fashion by merging versatility with hyper-functionality, so that each garment is crafted for everyday use and longevity. We also like that it's a brand for every age and lifestyle.

 

With basic garments costing as much as $65, it’s not the cheapest clothing brand out there, but it feels good knowing that you get the bang for your buck with every purchase. It also means that you get to wear the pieces for a long time.

 

5. Our Barehands

 

Our Barehands is one of the newest sustainable clothing brands in Singapore, but it’s already making its own mark on the local fashion scene.

 

The brand’s commitment to sustainability covers using primarily natural and organic fabrics to produce versatile garments and supporting the livelihood of local artisans through safe working conditions and liveable wages.

 

Our Barehands also caters to both men and women of all shapes and sizes, so its collection ranges from crewneck trees and collared shirts to button tops and shift dresses.
