Echo Verde

Jane Nemis started Echo Verde in Vancouver in 2009, after decades in the fashion industry, wanting to build clothes without the usual environmental cost. The line mixes natural fibers like organic cotton and merino wool with recycled synthetics, and works with small, family-run factories rather than mass producers.

Pieces are meant to hold up: classic shapes, good stitching, nothing trend-driven that you'll toss out next year. It's ethically made, and built to actually be worn for a long time.
