This Not That: Madewell Edition

It's that time again! Where we look at a popular company & show some pretty dang great ethically made alternatives.

You can read about the Social Responsibility measures of Madewell here. We love seeing that companies are working to be more transparent in how their items are made, but wish that Madewell had more information about the materials they use, their supply chains, and the factory working conditions. 

In the mean time, here are some incredible alternatives that are typically even less expensive then the Madewell options:

Everlane's The Cotton Striped Tee Dress
Made in Ho Chi Min, Vietnam with transparent factory labor practices & ethical cotton sourcing

Purse & Clutch's Ethiopian Leather Purse

Noonday Collections's Fanned Fringe Necklace

Purse & Clutch's Ethiopian Cotton Towel

Fortress of Inca's Pamela Wedge
