Founded more than 30 years ago and produced in Northern California, CP Shades is one of our favorite slow fashion vendors.
Why?
Because, as they say, “What you see is what you get.” CP Shades uses 100 percent natural and sustainable fabrics to create elegant, timeless handmade products that are meant to be worn over and over again. Plus, since its inception, CP Shades’ production has been based in the United States, and the company still owns its own sewing facility and continues to cut, sew, and garment-dye in the San Francisco Bay Area.
But you don’t have to take our word for how great CP Shades clothes are. Take a look at 6 of our favorite CP Shades pieces and see for yourself how wonderful and truly beautiful ethically made clothes can be…
