When shopping for wardrobe basics, the smart and sustainable thing to do is purchase high quality pieces that will endure many wears. Minimally designed luxury apparel usually does the job. When I think “luxury fabrics” I think of 100% silk and 100% cashmere, both of which are typically outrageously priced making them unaccessible to many consumers. Last Brand, an innovative company, is changing that. Last Brand’s mission is to “challenge the existing idea that nice things should cost a lot.” Their online platform offers a concise collection of silk and cashmere apparel, leather goods, and fine jewelry, all priced as affordably and transparently as possible. Take for example the two pieces that Last Brand gifted me to feature in today’s post; the Premium Washable Silk Tank priced at $38 and the Mongolian Cashmere Crew priced at $50. Each listing details the cost of material, fabrication, shipping, and credit card fees. This demonstrate what the total cost is of bringing the products to your door. You’ll be surprised to find that the cost of making the product isn’t much different than the price you pay. They also include price comparisons for similar pieces sold by other luxury brands. Find out more about how they are able to price their products so reasonable by reading their “How It Works” page.

Let’s delve a little deeper into each piece featured today. The $38 Premium Washable Silk Tank is a sophisticated wardrobe staple, perfect for casual or work-wear. As you can imagine the smooth silk makes it exceptionally comfortable and breathable for warm weather. The $50 Mongolian Cashmere Crew is satisfyingly soft. This sweater goes with anything and certainly will keep you warm during chilly spring nights. I’ve actually been using both of these pieces to lounge around in during this quarantine because they're that comfortable (but also because I feel sophisticated while wearing them). My favorite thing about both of the pieces are that you can wash them at home! Do you know how much that saves you on dry-cleaning?! So if you’re looking to shop sustainably with a brand that cares about democratizing access to quality goods while supporting people and the environment, then Last Brand is the brand for you!
