Classic, timeless clothing and accessories for women

Talbots
Partial Rating:

Harmful

This brand does not have enough public information about its sustainability efforts, so we can’t yet offer a detailed review.

We avoid Talbots because its sustainability reporting is incomplete or nonexistent. As a fast fashion company, Talbots exploits labor and natural resources while incentivizing overconsumption. To operate more sustainably, Talbots would have to drastically change its business model.

        Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (harmful) to 5 (best). How we rate →
