The Ethical Edit: Top 10 Sustainable Brands That Pair Perfectly With Created By Lau
Share
Which sustainable fashion brands work well with handmade jewellery? The best ethical brands share the same values as handmade jewellery: quality over quantity, intentional design, and pieces built to last. Here are 10 that pair beautifully with Created By Lau.
As a Yorkshire-based maker who believes in quality, small-batch creation, and supporting independent businesses, I know that intentional style goes beyond your jewellery box. The best backdrop for bold, mixed media and permanent jewellery is clothing that is just as conscious, stylish, and built to last.
Here is my Ethical Edit — 10 sustainable and ethical fashion brands that provide the perfect foundation for your Created By Lau pieces.
1. Lucy & Yak
The vibe: Signature dungarees, organic cotton basics, and relaxed, vibrant style.
Why it pairs perfectly: Simple cuts and solid colours provide the ideal canvas for a bold, structural polymer clay earring — it dresses up the casual and adds high-end flair without competing.
2. Seasalt Cornwall
The vibe: Classic coastal aesthetic with natural fabrics, practical designs, and earthy colour palettes.
Why it pairs perfectly: Their natural textures and subtle tones are the perfect backdrop for our resin pieces — especially those that encapsulate real flowers. Shared values of longevity and quality make this a natural match.
3. Nobody's Child
The vibe: Stylish, conscious dresses and everyday pieces that make ethical fashion accessible.
Why it pairs perfectly: When wearing a beautiful printed dress, a Created By Lau piece in a coordinating solid colour anchors the look and elevates it without competing with the print.
4. People Tree
The vibe: A fair trade pioneer — feminine prints, ethical production throughout, and a genuine commitment to people and planet.
Why it pairs perfectly: Their romantic, print-led pieces are the perfect canvas for our fibre and textile mixed media jewellery. For a permanent finishing touch, stack a few Welded Bonds beneath their billowy sleeves for an unexpected shimmer.
5. Patagonia
The vibe: Durable, high-performance outdoor and casual wear with a global reputation for environmental activism.
Why it pairs perfectly: Sustainable basics need a style lift. A classic Patagonia jumper paired with a bold, patterned polymer clay earring is the ultimate high-low statement.
6. House of Sunny
The vibe: Trend-led, slightly avant-garde pieces with unique shapes and a commitment to small-batch production.
Why it pairs perfectly: When the clothing is bold, the jewellery must match the energy. Our most structural mixed media pieces worn with House of Sunny's unique silhouettes prove you're not afraid to be noticed.
7. Yes Friends
The vibe: High-quality, ethical basics at an accessible price point.
Why it pairs perfectly: A simple, quality base layer is the best foundation for accessory investment. Their essential tees and shirts perfectly highlight a long statement resin pendant or provide the contrast needed for high-impact Welded Bonds.
8. Joanie Clothing
The vibe: Fun, colourful, vintage-inspired clothing with personality and playful prints.
Why it pairs perfectly: Fun prints require sophisticated accessories to keep the look high-end. Choose a Created By Lau piece with bold texture but a clean, modern shape to balance their vintage silhouettes beautifully.
9. Cossac
The vibe: Minimalist, ethical womenswear — versatile, seasonless pieces and sharp cuts.
Why it pairs perfectly: Minimalist clothing needs a powerful focal point. Their clean lines and neutral colours are the perfect foil for our most dramatic mixed media pieces, transforming classic cuts into a unique statement.
10. Lil & The Pickle
The vibe: Joyful rebellion meets empowering fashion — beautifully handcrafted jackets in rich cotton and velvet, celebrating individuality, bold colours, and ethical production.
Why it pairs perfectly: This is the ultimate partner for the bold soul who craves unique artistry. Their one-of-a-kind handcrafted jackets are a stunning foundation for a structural Created By Lau polymer clay earring or a stacked combination of Welded Bonds. Both brands share the same values: handmade quality, empowerment, and individual style.
