Crew Clothing

Is Crew Clothing an ethical and sustainable fashion brand?

Crew Clothing is a low-ranking brand in The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Fashion Retailers Ratings.

Crew Clothing is a Britain- based fashion retailer owned by Exquisite Apparel Corp and receives a poor Good Shopping Guide score in our Ethical Fashion Retailers Ratings Table. Although Crew Clothing has not yet met our Ethical Benchmark, we hope to see the brand make progress in the future.

In what areas does Crew Clothing perform poorly? 

Despite Crew Clothing’s progress, there is still room for improvement. The brand received a bottom rating for Environmental Report, as it does not provide enough evidence that it is working to improve its environmental record.

On its website’s sustainability page, Crew Clothing makes a mention of ‘organic cotton’ and lists products that are ‘100% organic’, but there is no indication of a certification. We encourage brands to become certified with the Soil Association or Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), in order to validate organic fabrics.

Crew Clothing could improve its rating by joining a scheme such as the Ethical Trading Initiative, which promotes transparency in the supply chain and responsible sourcing of labour and materials.

How can Crew Clothing brand improve its Ethical Rating?

The Good Shopping Guide score results from multiple ethical criteria in relation to Crew Clothing. To reach our minimum Ethical Benchmark and qualify for Ethical Accreditation, Crew Clothing has some issues to resolve, including its Organic certification.
