Your Guide to Sustainable Fashion Terms

Fashion Glossary

You don't need a degree in sustainability to care about where your clothes come from.

This glossary is here to help you understand the terms, certifications, and practices you might come across while shopping with us (or anywhere else).

We've tried to keep the definitions simple and jargon-free because transparency shouldn't require a translator. This is a work in progress, and we're adding new terms as we go.

Have a question about a term we haven't covered yet? Email us at hello@birdieandclaire.com and we'll add it.
