B Corp certified, and rather more fun than that makes it sound.

Wild Clouds make genderless, seasonless clothing in organic cotton and linen, with handmade prints and silhouettes you can wear to bed, to brunch, or to walk the dog without changing. It is slow fashion that has not confused seriousness with solemnity, which is rarer than it ought to be. Made in London and India, female-led, plastic free down to the buttons and elastics.

Certified, and not quietly about it

Wild Clouds is a Certified B Corporation, which means an independent assessment of how the business treats its workers, its suppliers and the environment, rather than a phrase somebody decided to put on a label. Their B Impact score is 113.5, against a median of 50.9 for businesses that complete the assessment. Find them with our other sustainable independent brands and women-led makers.

What it is actually made of

Organic cotton and linen, low-impact azo-free dyes, Corozo buttons, natural rubber elastic, compostable packaging. Offcuts become scrunchies and eye masks rather than waste, and there is a repair service, which tells you more about a brand's intentions than most sustainability pages do.
