Outerknown is a sustainable clothing brand established from an understated approach to design and an overstated approach to quality, material and consciousness. We are the First Brand Founded on a Total Commitment to Sustainability.
Outerknown is a forward-thinking brand celebrating its tenth anniversary with a commitment to sustainable fashion. By making incremental improvements in their processes, they aim for significant environmental and social impact. Outerknown has increased their use of preferred, sustainable fibers to 98% by 2024 and transitioned 67% of their supply chain to prioritize human rights. They support regenerative farming practices, converting 28 acres of farmland to Regenerative Organic Certified® standards.
Outerknown emphasizes fair labor, aligning with the Fair Labor Association, and sharing their Fair Compensation Commitment to ensure fair treatment and wages for garment workers. Their 2030 Sustainability Plan outlines goals for full circularity, focusing on sustainable materials, and promoting resale and recycling.
The brand actively engages in partnerships to drive systemic change, mapping their supply chain through Open Apparel Registry, and supporting the Textile Exchange in sourcing responsible materials. Outerknown's Outerworn platform resells pre-loved items, keeping garments in circulation and reducing waste. The brand is committed to transparency and collaborates with changemakers to lead innovation in sustainable fashion.
