Here at House of Coco, we’re all about discovering, celebrating and supporting our fellow boss babes running their own businesses, particularly when they’re also working to respect and preserve our planet. We sat down in the oh-so-chic surrounds of prestigious women’s private members’ club the AllBright in Mayfair, for She Speaks – an evening with the female founders behind the luxury brands championing sustainability. From eco-friendly design to accountable production processes and a focus on fair craftsmanship – these are the environmentally friendly #girlboss brands you need to know about.

DEPLOY
Pioneering slow fashion, clothing brand DEPLOY offers an ethical and intelligent approach to style, crafting tailored designs you can wear season after season, alongside their zero waste philosophy. Fabrics are sourced from environmentally certified textiles suppliers in Britain and Europe and the collection is mostly produced in London by boutique production houses and artisanal craftsmen. The cut-offs are salvaged and re-used, or up-cycled into hats and headdresses for their sister company. It is this commitment to a mindful approach to fashion for life rather than for a single season, that DEPLOY is harnessing to reduce their impact in what is traditionally such a wasteful industry.

58 Lifestyle A conscious choice when it comes to sustainable pampering products, 58 Lifestyle’s collection focuses on the benefits of transitioning to natural-based products, as well the benefits of remaining mindful of personal and environmental wellbeing. Eco-soy candles not only smell warm, woody and deliciously inviting, but are hand poured using eco-friendly soy wax for a long lasting and clean burn that is free from pesticides and herbicides. Their balancing room mist is seriously soothing, as well as free from harmful synthetics and unnecessary additives.

Their producers share the same commitment to the garment lifespan, and through their production processes, the company is able to support local communities in Denizli, Turkey where they champion fair wages and respect the skills of the women who hand-tie the tassels in these communities.
