Why Accessories Matter in Sustainable Fashion
Sustainable fashion isn’t just about clothes—it’s about the little details. Accessories complete your look while giving you the chance to express your values. Choosing eco-friendly materials over plastic or recycled polyester ensures your wardrobe is genuinely kind to the planet.
Jewellery That Lasts
Fast-fashion jewellery is often cheap and short-lived. Avoid plastic based jewellery and consider choosing metal or wood alternatives. Invest in handmade jewellery by artists and craftspeople that will not only last long, but will also be unique.

Hats and Caps With Purpose
From cozy beanies to stylish caps, headwear add personality to any outfit. Look for natural fibres like organic cotton or wool instead of synthetic (including blends) of polyester, acrylic and other petroleum based fabrics.

Bags Built to Endure
Bags are everyday essentials, and choosing eco-conscious ones made from plant-based or biodegradable fabrics means they last longer and reduce environmental waste. Whether you choose totes, clutches or hand bags, remember that a vegan item does not necessarily mean that it is free of plastic.
Sustainable Sunglasses
Sunglasses can be stylish without harming the planet. Seek designs made from biodegradable acetate or reclaimed wood—never plastic.
Belts That Tie It Together
A good belt can instantly elevate your look. Choose plant-based leather alternatives or natural fabrics instead of petroleum-based synthetics.
Scarves for All Seasons
Scarves are timeless and versatile. Whether it’s silk for summer or cozy knits in winter, opting for natural fibres ensures comfort without compromising the environment.
Final Thoughts
Accessories may seem small, but their impact is significant. By choosing jewellery, hats, bags, sunglasses, belts, and scarves free from plastic and recycled polyester, you can build a wardrobe that is stylish, ethical, and sustainable.
Remember, a "vegan" labeled accessory item may still be made from plastic or other petroleum based materials.
Where a plastic or petroleum based item is unavoidable, consider how long you may use it for and whether it can be recycled ore repurposed at the end of it's life.
