Our Favorites
One of our favorites from Groceries Apparel is the Fitted Crop Top! It is the perfect summertime top, that is tight-fitting, but still soft and stretchy for low impact support: 98% organic cotton and 8% elastane. They have dyed this top in 14 different colors, and have sizing ranging from XS to 2XL. An essential basic for your closet, now on sale for the summer! If you love a matching set like we do, the Kazuko Short makes the perfect pair. While the color range is not as vast, with 8 color options, you can mix and match for a fun colorful look. By shopping Groceries Apparel, it allows consumers to add affordable, responsibly sourced, high quality basics to their wardrobe.

Clothes made from recycled plastic
“...recycling plastic decreases our dependence on oil as a raw material source and curbs the amount of trash being dumped, thereby prolonging landfill life. Reducing the toxic emission from the constant flow of landfill incinerators lessens the advance of global warming.''
Ethics
Fair wages
Good working conditions
Zero forced or child labor
Inclusivity
Models have diverse backgrounds and body types
Sizes range from an XS to an XL
This is the one area that Groceries Apparel can improve, as they could have a more inclusive size range and their site could be more diverse. An example of a brand that does an excellent job at this is Girlfriend Collective.
