However, not all brands that use fair trade practices are certified. There are plenty of small businesses that are using ethical practices, but do not have the time or money to go through the verification process.
If you do not see third party verifications, but are curious about the ethics of a clothing brand I encourage you to e-mail them or reach out via social media.
Most socially responsible clothing brands will be glad that you care enough to ask and will gladly provide additional resources on how the supply chain, fair wages, & more.
