I made a list (far from complete) using European brands, categorised by Country, and type of fashion.

I haven't finished categorising it by sportswear, outerwear, casual, or formal wear etc.

There are very likely a few mistakes, if anyone sees any mistakes and/or thinks another brand should be on the list, please let me know where they are from and I will add them.

I also have not categorised them by delivery (selected countries, EU wide, or international). It was initially just meant to be a reminder of clothing that is made in the EU, but I started categorising and now here I am.. The UK list is just massive on it's own, so may add that later, I did not include yet.

Ideally all brands will be manufactured in Europe/UK/EU, but where they require VAT on delivery in xx country etc.. I will mark them as I find out.

Legend:

  • S = Sustainable / more eco-focused and Premium
  • PR = Premium / not clearly fast fashion
  • FF = Fast fashion / less expensive (frequent trends)
  • Unisex = Men & Women etc.
  • Mixed = Men, Women and Kids

You can also add Tilak under Czech Republic. https://www.tilak.com/

Made in Czechia, very high quality outerwear (snow, rain, hiking gear).

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 5 days ago

Thanks, added.

Thanks, added them.

[โ€“] LilithElina@literature.cafe 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You have some shoe brands, so what about wildling.shoes from Germany producing in Portugal? (And working with Nordwolle, already in your list.)

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 5 days ago

Thanks, added them there.

[โ€“] Supercrunchy@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Let me introduce you to the Bestseller group https://bestseller.com/brands

They own most of the brands you have heard of in Europe (Only, Jack and jones, Selected, Pieces, Vero moda, etc. - Some of them are already on your list). Manufacturing of whatever you buy from them is still most likely done outside EU.

The group is privately owned, and the owner is the richest man in Denmark.

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

Thanks, stumbled upon them from another comment, and will add the ones not added later today.

[โ€“] WaxRhetorical@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Thanks for doing this, very useful! I'd also add Noorlys, German company manufacturing in Portugal and Turkey. They claim to be sustainability-focused, but I haven't verified that claim. I do personally like their clothes and consider them high quality though.

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

Thanks, added there.

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

Thanks. Great site, I wouldn't even attempt to create something like that ๐Ÿ˜€ This was just supposed to be a reminder of European brands. I think that site solely deals with vegan brands (I could be wrong).

[โ€“] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Here's some to add to the Finnish list (since for some reason only that military site keeps making the lists, which is a bit annoying because realistically most people don't wear that style:

Paapii (kids and women, made in Finland) https://www.paapiidesign.com/fi

Lija the Label (swimwear, designed in Finland, but made in Portugal, still within EU) https://liljathelabel.com/

Nรฉpra (active wear, designed in Finland, Fabric from Italy, made in Estonia, still within EU) https://www.wearnepra.com/

Svala (thermal wear, made in Finland) https://svala.com/en/shop/

North Outdoor (merino wools, these linked specifically are made in Finland) https://northoutdoor.com/en/collections/merino-wool-shirts-and-accessories-made-in-finland

Vai-ko (multiple items, made in Finland and Lithuania) https://vai-ko.com/

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

Thanks, I added them now.

[โ€“] manuremy@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I'd like to mention Varusteleka from Finland. They used to just order all kinds of joke garbage from China in their first few years, but these days they design and make plenty of army/hiking/outdoors clothing, especially from (recycled) merino. Usually made in Lithuania.

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

Thanks, added.

[โ€“] JustEnoughDucks@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

One of the best shoe brands:

http://mukishoes.com/ in Portugal.

Made with local manufacturers, zero drop, foot shaped shoes, comfortable, wool insoles, full leather versions of shoes that are waterproof with oiling.

AND, they have a resole program where their shoes are actually designed to last a long time (specifically the leather ones) and they will resole them for around 30 euros. That is quite an exception even for European made shoes. I haven't had to use it yet as my shoe soles still look great after 1.5 years of daily walking and office use.

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

Thanks, added.

[โ€“] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

A lot of fashion brands habe headquarters on Europe. But whether there headquartered here, on the States, or elsewhere, most of them have the same BS conditions in their factories.

There's only very few brands that actually produce in Europe, or under good labour conditions elsewhere. Way more important than hq adress. Also, a lot of made in Italy stuff isn't produced under great conditions either.

From my memory/wardrobe: Armed Angels, Colourful Standard, trigema. Some others I don't remember right now.

[โ€“] Europellinore@europe.pub 1 points 6 days ago

Some of them I wouldnโ€™t include or even use, because they are too eager to continue doing business in russia, thereby paying taxes to the russian state that uses 46% of their budget for their war against Europe.

[โ€“] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not EU but UK

I follow a transwoman influencer Icky, she has her own clothing brand. If I remeber correctly it is being produced in Portugal https://ick.studio/collections/all

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thanks, I have a UK list that I am hoping to update, but it is MASSIVE. I think Manchester alone has over 30 so far (that I know of).

[โ€“] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That I know of. It takes a lot longer than I thought too, trying to find out what style, who for and what type they are. Stupidly, I had categorised the majority of this list this today, and near the end for whatever stupid reason, I decided to stick the whole list into AI and see if it could help. It literally fucked everything up, recategorised everything wrong (hiking and outerwear for womens dresses etc.) and this idiot hadn't saved the original I have just spent the rest of the day fixing it all again manually, I am sure I have made a load of mistakes again, but working my way up from the bottom of the list (not including Finland because I had just added them), just finished Portugal. So UK is going to take FOREVER. At a guess, I would think there is more than 30 in Manchester. I haven't counted the list I have so far

This is just Manchester:

[โ€“] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

omg ๐Ÿ’€ good luck though on your.

As for Ick I didn't see any mention of their main office. But the website mentions clothings are sourced in EU and warehouse is in France.

But from Icky's streams, she mentions that her office is in London and at some point also mention the clothes are being produced in Portugal. But I can't find exact stream archive nor timestampt where she actually said those.

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Does Ick consider their clothing company as UK or any other? (Tax for items bought outside the EU)

I think it's a UK company but I'm not sure tax details. Maybe you can go to reddit r/icky (where the community is) or company's support email.

[โ€“] Kjell@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You have mentioned under both Sweden and Denmark. The brand is Swedish but it is owned by a Danish company, does that mean it should be sorted under Denmark?

You can add some more brands

Estonia

Suva

Sweden

Stenstrรถms - PR
Oscar Jacobson - PR
Woolpower - PR

Luxembourg

Eton - PR

Denmark

Selected Homme - FF
Jack & Jones - FF

Norway

Aclima - PR
Morris - PR

I think all these brands except for the fast fashion and Morris have production in Europe.

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Thanks, I added them, but not sure if the Suva is the one you meant (socks) I removed Tiger of Sweden from Sweden, meant to remove it earlier

I also changed woolpower and aclima to sustainable as I will imply that is Premium anyway.

Suva

Also, says here that Eton are Swedish Eton

Selected are related to a few under the Bestseller umbrella, I will add them later Selected

It says here Morris are Swedish also Morris

But just european brands or European Made?

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ideally European made. If they are not made in Europe, but are a European brand, I will mark them as such, as I find out.

[โ€“] Seyker@tardigram.com 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Then any Inditex is european...

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

Thanks, similar to Bestseller. They have many brands under their umbrella. Will add them later today.

[โ€“] baguette@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Bablibaris (French) which is sort of S, PR has commitments to produce around the Mediterranean and aim at producing with natural fibers.

Northern Playground a cooperative from Norway produces in the EU, uses natural fibers and offer one repair per item. Also stopped using Facebook ads and are anti-overconsumption. S, PR, and a focus on clothing that works both outdoor as well as in town.

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thanks, added both. I don't think there are any fast fashion brands that are also sustainable, so S (for now anyway) is to include premium by default. Hoping to eventually break down to the types of fashion (sports, outerwear, children, men, women etc.)

[โ€“] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Decathlon? (France)

Hunkemรถller (Netherlands)

Schietwetter (Germany, not produced there I think)

[โ€“] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Decathlon sells loads of American brands, they're not really a brand.

[โ€“] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 5 days ago

I mean their house brands like Simond or Forclaz

[โ€“] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Added, thanks.
