Adili – The Best Of Ethical Fashion

As we regularly see here on TreeHugger the market for ethical fashion just keeps growing and growing. This was made very clear at London Fashion Week back in September where they devoted a whole section to showing ethical and eco fashion. The latest online fashion store on the British eco-block is Adili. They took advantage of the green publicity from London Fashion Week by launching Adili at the end of September. Since then their collection has grown steadily and now, just in time for some convenient Christmas shopping, they are stocking an impressive list of ethical brands. They concentrate on women’s fashion, sorry guys you only get to choose from a range of t-shirts, but they also include kids, babies, linen and cosmetics too. “Adili is the Swahili word for 'ethical and just'. As a company Adili believes that it is possible for fashion to be both stylish and made in an ethical and just way; in a way that gives rather than takes from people and the planet; in a way that upholds the dignity of those along the supply chain.” Adili joins a fast growing list of TreeHugger’s online shopping favourites such as The Natural Collection, Coco’s Shoppe, The Natural store, Beklina and Green Loop. ::Adili

Adili is a wonderful slick site but when did T-shirts start costing £30?

And, like a lot of green types, they buy and sell leather without any thought for the environmental impact of the animal industry - all the stuff about how many acres it takes to feed & clothe us on plants compared to how many dozen acres it takes to feed & clothe us on animals.
There's a short version here
from the Vegan Society and
for academics there's a mega-long version from the UN
Livestock's Long Shadow
There's even celebrity backing for giving up leather for environmental reasons from Moby.

Not that I was thinking of spending £100 on a pair of shoes anyway.
