MUD Jeans
Overview
If you’re wise to the environmental damage caused by the average pair of jeans, you may wonder what the answer is. Well, I’m happy to say I’ve got it: MUD Jeans! You really couldn’t ask for much more when it comes to sustainable, ethical, vegan jeans. MUD has a ton of environmental & social certifications, including B-Corp certification, as well as an innovative program through which you can lease jeans for a monthly fee. And they’ve swapped that pesky leather label that most jeans have so they are 100% vegan-friendly. Hallelujah.
Note: Shipping to the US is about 45 euros, so this brand may be better if you’re planning to order more that one item from them at a time.
