I would love to see you do an “ethical clothing on a budget” style challenge! Maybe see if you can create outfits for under $100?

[@thegillmachine]

Something id really like to see Sierra try is getting clothes specially commissioned for her from a seamstress. Not only will she know it is ethically/sustainably made, but she will also get to have a lot more control over fit and fabric-not to mention getting things made to her exact proportions!

[@riabouchinska]

That would be hot ngl

[@nannibunni]

My friend is a designer with her own atelier and it depends on the item and such. It an be between 100€-500€ and up 😊

[@BlackIDove]

If you can't afford brands like these, lean in to places like ThreadUp. Thrifting is still eco-friendly.

[@briannmsaas4]

Also places like Poshmark and Depop are great places to thrift while directly supporting small business and people who are in need of money! ☺️

[@megan_pinkerton]

Yes! I found two amazing coats by online thrifting for a good price. Also its a great way to sell stuff that you're done with.

[@ashleyj2548]

Was just coming in to mention Poshmark and Depop too! Personally, I sell clothes on Poshmark and it is great for some extra cash during these times.

[@coolgab21]

Thred up is really problematic. I highly implore you to look more into it as they don’t compensate the sellers well

[@MiryQCookie]

I agree, also maybe a little too pink or warm-toned. Colours on the webpages looked really different from on-body, for example in the pants from KIN the white looked pink and the sea mist sweater looked much darker when she was wearing it.

[@natatatt]

Yeah the outfit try on segments tend to be a bit dark and blurry and have been for awhile. (No hate to Sierra - great content otherwise)

The 2 piece set really looks like pj's even styled. If I saw someone out and about it it, that's what I'd think they are wearing. Looks cozy thought, but for me, if I was going to spend that kind of money on sustainable clothing, I'd expect more

[@julietloffredo7369]

[@jordiflower]

Right!!! Was looking for this comment

[@raha8398]

For Days is great!! They have something called their “Take Back Bag” and people can send their clean, used clothing in any condition (even torn / distressed) to be recycled for a store discount. They are closed-loop, which means that they upcycle or responsibly recycle all of the clothing sent to them, and their clothing is also 100% recyclable. Plus their stuff is really cute at a pretty affordable price point :)

[@alyson_paige]

I wonder if the sweatshirt has pockets because maternity leggings normally don’t have pockets

[@meeprific]

They’re also expensive because the assumption is that they are high enough quality that you can keep them forever.

[@meeprific]

...which is also eco friendly, to just consume less in general.

[@haileerolofson9495]

Yeah 100%, that still doesn't make it accessible sadly :( I'd love to invest in quality pieces but I never have that much spending money at a given time (or I can't put it all into one purchase)

[@meeprific]

@@haileerolofson9495 for sure, no judgement.

[@ameliemasters]

i love these videos cuz i don't really have a comfort zone for clothes and would love to shop more sustainably so seeing what sierra likes always gives me inspiration about what to buy :)

[@JorgAnne1019]

I love the thought of sustainability but the price ranges are simply unattainable for someone who’s job isn’t fashion or doesn’t make a considerable amount of money.

[@annatsipouras5120]

Absolutely! I think sometimes people forget that not everyone _wants_ to spend hundreds of dollars in clothing. When money is tight, there are so many more important things to spend money on

[@jennamcentire5449]

righttttt, and then people’s only response to that is telling you to thrift, and it’s difficult to find cute and trendy stuff that is in the right size and is in decent condition lol.

[@EltonRevolverCo23]

I think Pact is considered sustainable, while being more budget friendly? Tradlands and Tuesday of California are more expensive, but cool.

[@bjskinne34]

I just wish some of these sustainable/ethical brands were more cost friendly. I could NEVER spend 80+$ on a crew neck.

[@jostewart3192]

The thing is is that that’s the price of sustainability and ethicality. We’ve been so conditioned for years with fast fashion to pay a small price for something- but it’s that cheap because the fabric is non-sustainable, they don’t pay their workers and they don’t offset any of their environmental damages. If we weren’t so used to get $20 crewnecks and knew the real price of making it, it would be far easier for us (emotionally) to shell out that amount of money. However, I’m as broke as you. A $30 crew neck is too much for me lmao! That’s why it’s important to either prioritise your purchases and save up (if you wear that crewneck sweater 30 times, you’re paying $2 for that sweater every time) or you very intentionally buy ‘fast fashion’ pieces. Over here in Aus, Kmart and Cotton On have started implementing the ‘better cotton initiative’ which is where they source cotton responsibly. It’s a great first step and it’s cheap as chips.

[@jostewart3192]

Oh and thrifting!

[@gabrielal6872]

We have to look at is as an investment.. it’s not something you have to replace after a couple years like you would a T-shirt from target or forever 21.

[@greytgreytx]

@@gabrielal6872 If you have the $80 up front, then that is something you can consider. But there's a whole truth that it takes money to save money, and that being poor is expensive. Sometimes you need a new shirt, and you only have $7. I've committed to buying second hand or receiving hand-me-downs because I don't want to add to fast fashion waste, but I also can't spend this kind of money on new and sustainably-made stuff. At least I'm keeping something out of a landfill for a few years, and unless I trash it, I'll pass it on to someone else.

[@secretaltruism4174]

Was anyone else bored by these clothes? Sierra was hyping these clothes up, but I was underwhelmed. The only thing that looked really good was the KIN pants.

[@bethany9902]

A lot of ethical clothing is made to be basic long term pieces that are good quality so they can last long and not go out out style. Like she said, she was in love with the quality of a lot of the clothes which obviously we can’t see/feel but is a good aspect to note when choosing to buy something!

[@wombatnumbat989]

the KIN pants were definitely my favorite, followed by the jumpsuit. The sweatshirts just don't look any different than what you can find anywhere else.

[@havesti]

I agree I found all the clothes to be so boring

[@Coovie]

Agreed, also KIN was the only brand I want to buy from after this video. I feel like her reviews this year of these lesser-known brands have been extremely positive, like she's trying to help them out, but it feels so wrong :(

[@sarahluvburkhardt5755]

Agreed! The clothes were extremely underwhelming. I love basics but there are little details they could change about basic pieces to help give it a pop and help make it more chic such as changing the cut of the collar or the sleeves. Also for the prices I expect not just the quality of the fabric to be good but also the hem/pattern to be better. A few of the tops looked like the actual cut was no different than a lot of fast fashion brands, such as the cut under the arms, shoulders, and so on. I’m not referring necessarily to the style but more of the way it’s constructed.

[@ellenvoyage594]

I’ve loved your channel for years but seeing you transition from shopping all the same huge brands to shopping small ethical business has made me love you even more!! This is the future economy and fashion I want to see!! Love you! Keep going! 💕

[@carac6785]

I didn't think they looked so cute either. But we all like different stuff

[@rachelhaugen2538]

Thought it was ugly asl..

[@annatsipouras5120]

I don't think it's about wether it's ugly or not, but it just isn't a creative cut or style in my opinion. I really don't see how anybody can justify spending 300 for such a basic design, ethically made or not to be honest. Sustainability and Ethics don't have have _this_ price point. If I'm going to a seamstress and asking for a little white short, it will certainly not cost me a 150, although it would be as unique as I want. Nevermind I just saw her try it on and it looked ill fitting as well. Makes it even worse

[@Tu-mai]

@@annatsipouras5120 yeah, that’s the same problem i have with it. It’s something even a beginner or amateur seamstress could do. The cost is too high even when you take in consideration ethical business practices and the sustainability.

I am 64 & plus size. I find my favorite brand from either Poshmark or Mercari. TORRID, is my, favorite brand. Leggings are great. The tops are very, " In style!" I pay at the most, $5.00 for an item. I'm disabled so I don't get out much. I only need, "4" pair of leggings. (Black, Grey, Black w/red roses, and another print) Comfortable, whether I gain or lose a few pounds. These companies are overpriced for elderly women, on low income. Torrid, if you buy online from company, still affordable, but not like on Poshmark and Mercari.

[@AmandaATXo.o]

I really like For Days - they lean in to the closed loop system. you can get a 'take back' bag (costs $10, but then you get $10 off your next purchase, which is a nice touch, imo) and send them clothes that you've worn to bits that you can't donate and they'll recycle them properly. They also have a swap function. If you return some of their clothes in that bag (even if they're totally trashed/altered/etc) you get a pretty hefty credit towards future purchases.

[@rikki7953]

Oh my gosh I’ve been on the ethical sustainable clothing journey for a while now and it’s so good to see this video from you! Affordable ethical/sustainable brands are tricky because a lot of them say they’re ethical and they’re really not all that ethical (Everlane for example which is also not size inclusive)... your best bet for budget ethical sustainable wear is second hand but I think there’s a couple brands out there like armed angels that do a pretty good job :)
