the fact that you said that sustainability is a privilege..... immediately subscribed
It is!! And more people need to be aware of it in order to have productive conversations about sustainability. Thank you! x
What does that specifically mean?
Dayan Bernal Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s referring to the cost of sustainable clothing and products in general. Sustainable products are usually more expensive, therefore making it harder for those who make lower incomes to have access to them. In most cases, you have to be well off, live pretty comfortably, or earn a decent salary in order to afford the luxuries of sustainability. So, if you are able to afford the benefits of a sustainable lifestyle, then you can consider it a privilege.
@@Nah27Nah exactly right!
@@dayanela376 Sun. V explained it perfectly but let me elaborate! fast fashion is more often more accessible and more affordable to low-income people than most sustainable brands. there are some low-cost sustainable swaps out there, but for many low-income people, sustainability is more expensive.
for example, the cost of a 5-piece set of 25 oz. glad brand plastic tupperware from my local target is $2.99 USD. at the same target, the lowest cost 25 oz glass container is $5 USD for one (1) item.
if you want to take sustainability a step further, buying glassware to save leftover food in from target (a massive corporation that produces a lot of waste) isn't the same as buying glassware from a small specialty glassware company that is transparent about where they source materials from, how they treat their workers, whether their wages and benefits are fair, if they do community service outreach, and so on. there are so many levels to this!
some sustainable alternatives, while pricier, *do* last longer than non-sustainable ones, but for many low-income people, the upfront cost can't be justified. i myself try to make as many green changes i can in my everyday life, but that's because i have a full-time, salaried job that allows me the privilege of doing so.
If we are going to call anyone an influencer in social media it should be people like you.
Omg thank you 😭💛 this means more to me than you know x
preeeeeach!!!!!!
agree
YESS!🙌🏻
Maybe if she were supporting brands that aren't half assing their sustainability.
I’ve become more aware of how damaging high fashion brands are to our environment but had no idea about alternative ways to shop so thank you for this.
Glad I can help x
the fact that youtube put a shien ad below this video i-
lmao no way ugh
lmao the audacity
It's the audacity for me. SMH
aaahh haven’t really seen anyone on youtube talk about the privilege of sustainability & size inclusivity! also love how you incorporate Black owned brands! i’m inspired now i’m happy i found ur channel 🌟
Love your content. I love that you do what’s right and not what’s popular!
Thank you!! I appreciate that x
Rachel Bryant totally agree, some people talk but don’t follow through 👏👏👏
It makes sad that only a few people could afford this types of clothes.
Right
yup.. it's all part of the 'system', capitalism, free market, and privilege - lots of layers to unpack in a comment, will maybe do a video in the future
@@inspiroue Please do!
@@inspiroue yess I would love a video on sustainable AND economical fashion.
capitalism is racist and classist.
I've found the best way to have sustainable fashion when you don't have the $$$ is a locally owned thrift store. Money goes directly back to the community (there is one in my town that is set up solely to buy school supplies for kids in need) plus everything you buy goes into a second use.
My wallet says no, by brain and heart says yes! For now Ill shop my closet
The fact that you just shared 18 SUSTAINABLE BRANDS! Thank you!
the thousand fell sneakers look a lot like the common projects sneakers that every influencer is wearing but for 1/6th of the price!! and sustainable too omg
ya too good right!!! I'm obsessed x
@@inspiroue hoping they ship to Canada soon tho
The most sustainable clothes you can find, is already in your closet
You are such an inspiration. Thank you for your passion... if only youtube fashion influencers had even a little bit of your drive to recognize how deeply intersectional sustainable fashion is
Ahh thanks girl this means the world to me 💛 hoping all influencers start becoming more aware and help shift the conversation in a much needed direction - it's all interconnected!! x
i have recently felt very guilty as i have bought from fast fashion websites before, but once i became educated on sustainability i’m trying to move toward eco friendly brands bc it’s so important!! and happy feeling :)
People should care more about sustainability and being eco friendly!
I also think that it is so awesome that you care about this!!!
The intro you did is amazing! I appreciate that you talk about these topics with awareness and make your intentions with exposure clear.
I've been looking into a lot more ethical brands lately and I'm so glad that this video showed up on my recommendations😸You seem so honest and it really warms me up. I'll definitely have to check out your other videos when I get the chance. Loved the video and it was really informative !! :)
this is such a lovely and informative video! also, can i just say how refreshing it is to hear a youtuber/influencer say the words "i don't need new jewelry" and acknowledging that sustainability/sustainable fashion is truly a privilege. your videos are so thoughtful and i enjoy watching (and learning from) them!!
Love that there are more people my age who also support ethical and sustainable brands
I just started following you and I love your content! It's so nice to see a Canadian perspective thank you so much for all you're doing!! :)
I love your channel so much! I'm from Toronto and it's so cool to see a young, Asian Ontarian like me be such an influential, genuine changemaker, thank you for what you do!
Ahhh thank you, appreciate you so much 💛 Just trying to make an impact how I can and hoping this content can reach more people, so I appreciate your support a ton x
I absolutely love that you are conscientious about who you support! Thank you now ill just buy from the brands you recommand❤️
I need a podcast on conversations on sustainability and consumer society!!
Don't tempt me 🙈 Green Dreamer Podcast and Conscious Chatter are two good ones!! x
Sustainable fashion is the future!🌿 I’ve been watching the conscious RUclipsrs for years and finally decided to start my own channel about it❤️ Amazing video! Keep up the great work!
I just found your channel and honestly it’s SO refreshing to finally find someone who shares canadian brands! The conversions and duties and shipping are always so crazy for so many “popular” sustainable brands so thank you for this!!
this makes me so happy thank you!! ya I always wished to learn more canadian brands so that's what I'm sharing haha x
thank you so much for this!! i was really needing to be aware of some more sustainable brands for when i’m needing to fill gaps in my wardrobe. So nice to also know about smaller brands to be able to support them during this hard time!!
I loooved this video! I almost jumped out of my couch when I saw your first item-I just got my thousandfell sneakers about two weeks ago and love them so much, I wore my keds into the ground and replaced them with thousandfell. I’ve never heard of brave soles but I love those slides. You are definitely an inspiration on my journey towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
One of the best sustainable & ethical fashion videos I have ever watched! I loved that you talked about maximizing what we already own, thrifting and upcycling!
Thank you!! Means a lot to hear this x
Waaa I'm so happy I was recommended your video. I'm always looking for more sustainable brands to support and it's a lovely surprise to see them in Canadian prices. Thanks for the all the good info :)
LOVE THIS! And so appreciate your quick chat about the privilege of sustainability. Subscribed!
I LOVE this idea and this content, however all of these clothing brands are so pricey :( I want to start shopping more sustainably (outside of thrifting), but sometimes being sustainable can be so difficult due to the sheer prices
i couldn’t agree more :( it’s so hard because i don’t want to support fast fashion business but being sustainable is economical impractical
same :((
I am guilty of retail therapy and over consumption but the truth is we only need a few pieces to live with. so buying a $100 dress is better than buying 5 dresses for $100. So I guess what I am trying to say is that yes its pricey but so are our iPhones, homes, cars, and ect. everything we buy should be investments.
sustainable/ethical practices aren’t one size fits all. even if fast fashion is whats accessible to you, we can limit shopping to what we need. only buy new when what we have is no longer useable. try getting things repaired instead of throwing away. and maybe once or twice a year, if possible invest in a higher cost staple item, coat, shoes, pants etc that will last years. i’ve started taking this approach & it’s reduced my consumption for sure.
maybe thredup? secondhand on postmark or depop? shop a relatives closet?
First video of yours I've come across, I really enjoyed it. Your content is amazing!
this is the first video of your i've watched and i barely subscribe to people but you've really caught my attention and respect damn. so calming and nice
This is the first video of yours that I've seen and I am now a proud fan. Thank you for making the content you do. You exude kindness and conviction and I'm excited to see more. :)

Really good video! What you say in the intro is so important! Thank you for sharing your conscience mind and all those nice brands! 😁
Subscribed right away! I really really like all the things you said in the intro💕 you have such an amazing approach here and I'm sure it took a lot of time to research these brands since they are smaller but I think they should be supported the most!
Agreed! And thank you so much for the support and kind words 💛
I just came across this video but thank you so much for making it! I have been looking for mor sustainable brands to shop and this was really informative.
This video was everything. U touched everything perfectly. I now shop sustainably but it is such a privilege to. On top of that, it’s incredibly important to support brands that cares about human rights and are POC owned!
Thank you so much for sharing and conducting amazing research for many many people including myself. Youre an inspiration!

Love this video! I am looking to shop more sustainably so this info is perfect! Thanks 💗
Love hearing about sustainable/ethical Canadian brands! And that you’re realistic like sometimes you can’t thrift everything like crop tops or bodysuits that are more current styles. Would love a video with fall colours ❤️🍁🍂
Yay!! Going to make this a multi-part series for sure, I've discovered so many more since this video! And yes 100% -- it's ok to buy some stuff 'new', especially if you've tried other options and really want the style! And omg yes so excited for fall fashion x
Love this video and the sustainability movement. Also, would highly recommend the brand Tala (We Are Tala)! It is not BIPOC owned but it is female-owned, sustainable and affordable :)
Just stumbled across this video/channel! I'll definitely sub, you absolutely complied this info in such an amazing way.
Thank you!! Appreciate hearing that so much x

ALSO! You should check out Sol&Co! My friend Lexi Grisanti started and owns it and they are ethical and sustainable as well. Their Wilder Pant is the original piece that she made and worked so hard on.
Just found you and I love your content! Thank you for sharing all these resources, it’s really helped me feel more motivated to shop more sustainable

i'm super late to this video but just wanted to let u know i'm sitting here with my phone on my lap READYY to follow these dope ass brands & hype up their posts!!
omg yessssss!! been discovering so many more small ones since posting too I need to make this a series or something 😂💛
I’m Canadian and I was afraid that you were gonna talk about brands that might not be accessible where I live since it’s the first time I see one of your videos. I was reassured as soon as I heard you say “about”.
You’re Canadian too!
Hahaha the about accent runs strong 😂💛
Thank you so much for this video! I ordered the bodysuit from Mary Young. Unfortunately they were having a sale so it wouldn't let me use your code, but I am so excited to get this piece! It is a Christmas gift from me to me :)
Oh no worries at all!! So excited for you to receive x
Just found you through a random search-thank you for this video! So many brands that I’ve never heard of and love that you’ve highlighted black/women owned! I have to ask… where did you find the shirt you’re wearing?? It’s gorgeous
You are so welcome! It's thrifted!! x
I completely agree with what you said in the beginning! I will rarely ever go shopping for anything new and if I do I thrift but even then I suck at shopping in general 🤣if I’m in line for more than two minutes I start to think “do I really like this piece” even if it’s super cheap
Linda Martinez yessss!! haha I always loop around the store so many times and often put it back and end up going back to buy it a week later if I love it 😂😂
Finally some Canadian brands! Love your content!
Yesss!! And thank you appreciate you 💛
this was much needed
