Produced fairly, in environmentally friendly batches, with less water consumption, made from organic cotton or hemp – that’s what the GREENSTYLE Jeans Guide is all about. Because there are many ways to produce the dirtiest piece of clothing with less impact on people and nature. You just have to want it. And there are also certifications and awards for this, such as from the Fair Wear Foundation, GOTS or PETA approved vegan. Our Jeans Guide tells you which brands you can trust.
