Cool Concious Denim For Kids
The Simple Folk
Looking for a durable pair of jeans that’s kind to the environment and also looks super cool? One of our most visited articles is about Where to Find Vintage Denim For Kids, so we know we have lots of denim lovers out there. While nothing beats secondhand denim, it’s not always possible to find the right pair when you need them.
Thankfully, ethical denim production is beginning to rise. Why is that so important? The environmental toll of non-organic denim is no joke. Not only does denim use massive amounts of water, they also use harmful chemicals both in the cultivation and the finishing process. That distressed look we all covet is often achieved through a controversial technique called sandblasting, that poses significant health risks to workers. There are other options.
So, who made the cut? We chose brands that are using either organic cotton, mostly organic or recycled denim. Here’s our edit of kid’s brands making conscious denim a priority.
