Best in‑store destinations for sustainable fashion in the UK and USA

Why Shop Sustainably In‑Store?

Shopping sustainable fashion in person allows you to:

• Feel quality fabrics like TENCEL®, GOTS-certified cotton, or recycled fibres

• Assess workmanship—seams, stitching, linings

• Ask about ethical sourcing and eco-credentials

• Engage with staff who can advise on fit and maintenance

With Tellar’s measurement tools and guides, you can shop confidently, in-store, knowing each item suits your body and your values.
