The Desiree dress from Minna's AW09 collection

Three London-based eco-concious labels are joining forces for a fabulous sample sale starting this afternoon.  For a seriously chic dose of upcycled, recycled and ethically-sound shopping, head on over to the Goodone studio in N1 between 4pm and 10pm for huge discounts on past season stock and samples, as well as up to 50% off the retail price on personal orders of Goodone’s new autumn/winter collection.

Goodone do amazing things with waste fabric and leftover product, as well as upcycling discarded t-shirts and the like.  Check out the video on the About section of their website for a visual explanation of their mission, and a few scary truths about the waste created by the fashion industry and its consumers: if that doesn’t make you want to buy their sustainable pieces, then a quick look at their past, current and upcoming collections certainly will.  We’re coveting the body-con crochet dress and Aran knit bomber from their Autumn/Winter range (which will be available to order this evening with big discounts).

Minna is another label noted for minimising waste and using ethically-sourced fabrics, and this evening you’ll be able to find their pretty, hand-embellished dresses and blouses at minimal prices too.  Finnish designer Minna Hepburn also creates a range of gorgeous little girl’s clothes and whilst we’re not sure whether they will be on sale this evening, you can buy online at Minna’s website and these pieces are just to cute not to!

Nina Dolcetti is the brainchild of Cordwainers graduate Elisalex do Castro Peake, who designs all her shoes to use offcuts and waste leather as well as eschewing environmentally-unfriendly chrome tanned leathers in favour of ethically-sourced vegetable tanned hides.  Everything about a pair of Nina Dolcetti shoes is carefully considered, with heels constructed of sustainable cork and wood, and recycled leather used for the soles.  And as if that wasn’t enough, every pair is handmade in a small factory right here in London town, so by buying these shoes you’re supporting local industry too!

If you like your fashion with lasting feel-good factor, get on over to Southgate Road, N1 from 4pm this afternoon to snap up some amazing ethical pieces with huge discounts.
