Hey everyone, so I’ve been getting into this whole sustainable fashion thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s a bit of a wild ride! I was super curious about this brand called OGL, you know, the one that’s all about “Ongoing Gratitude Love”? Sounds nice, right?
So, I started digging around. First thing, I hit up their website, browsed around a bit. They talk a big game about being eco-friendly and using sustainable materials. They mention their clothing is made from “soft, comfortable fabrics derived from sustainable materials.” I was like, “Okay, cool, but what does that actually mean?”
Then I started looking for reviews. I mean, you can’t just trust what a brand says about itself, right? You gotta see what real people are saying. And that’s where things got interesting. Some people were raving about the quality and how comfy the clothes are. One person said they ordered some tops last summer and loved them. That sounded promising.
- I found some reviews that were all, “Amazing clothes and amazing service!”
- But then, I also saw some people saying that OGL might be “greenwashing.” Like, pretending to be more eco-friendly than they actually are.
- Someone even mentioned they bought something in November, and the shipping was a nightmare. Yikes!
I also learned that fast fashion is all about churning out new styles super fast and cheap. They make tons of different styles so you can buy the latest trends without spending a fortune. And apparently, having hundreds of pages of stuff on your website is a big red flag. OGL doesn’t have that many, to be fair.
Now, I did find some stuff about Zara, another big clothing company, and their sustainability efforts. They’re saying they’ll use organic or recycled cotton by 2023 and that all their polyester will be recycled. “If all goes accordingly to plan”, they say. That’s a big “if,” right?
OGL started in 2018, so they’re pretty new. Their whole thing is about making “innovative” and sustainable clothes. They’re based in Canada, which is kinda cool.
Honestly, after all this digging, I’m still not 100% sure what to think about OGL. It seems like they’re trying, but maybe they’re not quite there yet. It’s tough to tell if they’re genuinely sustainable or if it’s just a marketing thing.
My takeaway?
We gotta be careful out there, folks! It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of a brand that claims to be good for the planet. I guess we all just need to do our own research and decide for ourselves what we’re comfortable with. I’m gonna keep digging and see what else I can find out about OGL. Maybe I’ll even try ordering something and see for myself. Stay tuned!
