Hi Megan! We’re happy to hear you were so engaged with this piece — you raise great points! We’ll actually be doing a deep dive into many of these fabrics (and covering their sustainability) in the coming weeks (i.e., modal, hemp), so stay tuned for more info! – The Good Trade Team

Hi Christy,

We’ve added a disclaimer to the article! We recommend shopping for recycled polyester above virgin polyester, as it uses considerably less petroleum to create and generates less carbon emissions in production! While we wholeheartedly understand that 100% natural fibers are best, we know that most garments wouldn’t have stretch without polyester, and feel that rPET is a safer, more environmentally friendly option. Hope this helps to clarify! xx

Hi Pip! Bamboo is an excellent material, and we’re excited to see it showing up on more labels (plus, it’s so soft!) We’ve added to the list, and are excited to continue to build this fabric glossary in the future. Thank you for your comment! Xx

Thanks for this feedback, Kate! We’ve added a note to readers to look for Ahimsa silk, which is a really helpful reminder for those of us looking to invest in ethical & sustainable goods. Xx

Thanks for your comment, Eva! We’ve added wool, and are looking forward to continuing to add to this fabric glossary 🙂

Hi Steph! Thank you for your comment—we’ll be doing deeper dives into each of these individual fabrics in the near future, and will keep this feedback in mind 🙂 Thank you again, and hope you are taking care! Xx

Hi Lanie! You should be able to gently steam most fabrics, but we recommend spot testing or reading up on your exact piece/blend first before doing so. x – The Good Trade
