Description: CORRELL CORREL is passionate about the ethical production of their line. Every step in their supply chain is embedded with thought toward sustainability.
CORRELL CORRELL has a studio in New York City where they concentrate on local suppliers and producers. They use locally sourced and recycled materials to create their handmade designs. Nothing is done without quality in mind.
CORRELL CORRELL's belief that working with local producers is not only environmentally conscious but also socially sustainable since they are keeping jobs within the community.
CORRELL CORRELL combines archaic forms of dyeing, knitting, weaving and crocheting to create a modern, stylish clothing line. CORRELL CORRELL believes that it is an exciting opportunity in fashion to use ethical materials and processes, not a trend or fashion statement.
CORRELL CORRELL recycles from their own production. For example they use their own deadstock for shredding into raw material to which they incorporate it into their knits.
There is a sense of wabi-sabi in the CORRELL CORRELL lines where irregularity and a softness of kind is celebrated. The texture of the line are fluid and fabrics and yarns used are natural.
Yarns and fabrics sources 40% of all fabrics and 30% of yarn from certified organic, post consumer and/or post industrial recycled sources. The materials used are certified organic cottons, cupro, tencel, help, recycled cotton/polyester blends and/or the use of deadstock fabrics. CORRELL CORRELL's goals is to work exclusively with American Mills when sourcing yarn and cotton.
Social Responsibility: Locally sourced recycled fabric, Made in USA
Consciously produced clothing for women has exploded in growth. Just a few years ago if purchasing locally made clothing was important to you, there wasn’t a lot of choices and it was difficult to find out what they actually were. After the Rana Plaza disaster in 2008, consumers really started to pay more attention to where their clothes were made and who was actually making them.
Small independent labels have been sprouting up as well as the biggest brands in the country are getting behind local production, which further proves that more and more consumers are demanding quality more than quantity.
If you have made the decision to make a conscious effort to support locally made brands, hopefully this list will help you get started. If you are already shop small and local brands and see that we’ve missed someone, we’d love to know.
