Fashion Index, a networking platform for verified suppliers and businesses in the fashion industry, has announced updates to give users increased access to sustainable suppliers.
As the demand for ethical fashion continues to gain momentum, particularly in the UK and the US, the platform’s recent update allows growing fashion brands to more easily connect with sustainable suppliers. Fashion Index’s searchable database hosts a plethora of business profiles for materials, yarn, trims, and packaging suppliers. Users can filter their supplier searches specifically by sustainability and fair trade.

This update comes at a time of major growth in the sustainable fashion industry, which is currently valued at $6.7 billion and projected to be worth $10.1 billion by 2025, and $15 billion by 2030. Depending on an entrepreneur’s apparel niche, they can use Fashion Index to connect with suppliers for ethically-sourced woven, knit, or military-grade materials, prints and swatches, and wholesale blanks.
The sustainable product portion of the industry is expected to grow 5.6 times faster than its unsustainable counterparts. Forming strong partnerships with suppliers operating in this realm now can ensure fashion brands are able to scale with this rising demand while maintaining their commitment to sustainability and quality.
Ethical fashion also prioritizes a low carbon footprint. Fashion Index’s recent update allows users to specifically search for suppliers that are local to their operations so that they can limit transportation distances and carbon emissions. Users can learn all about suppliers by reading their Fashion Index profiles and can then contact them directly through the platform.
As a B2B and B2C networking platform, Fashion Index is dedicated to fostering an inclusive, accessible online fashion community that promotes collaboration and sustainable business partnerships. Through the platform, users can find and connect with the facilities, suppliers, materials, and people they need to build a profitable and lasting fashion brand. Fashion Index’s female co-founders bring their decades of experience working with leading brands in the global fashion industry to ensure the platform continues to meet the evolving needs of fashion professionals.
