Sustainable Fashion vs Responsible Fashion with LA Relaxed Creative Director Claire Hoppe

Green with Tiffany

If you could buy clothing made from materials that are locally and thoughtfully sourced, made from truly sustainable materials and fabrics, pay workers a living wage, while also being domestically made, would you? You can.
LA Relaxed was founded on the basis of sustainability and ethics at all stages of the design and manufacturing process.
Where and how the garments are made is also vitally important to LA Relaxed.
What do you look for when buying a new piece of clothing?
Today I talk with Claire Hoppe, the Creative Director of LA Relaxed. This luxury, comfort brand takes great care in bringing you responsible fashion, right down to the packaging it's shipped in. It's designed under one roof in Los Angeles. They measure in footsteps, not a footprint, and assemble each garment in under 100 steps. How cool is that? I know you will love them as much as I do.
