Current labels include KITX, Outland Denim, Maggie Marilyn, R.M. Williams, Manning Cartell, Patagonia, Lee Matthews, Nobody Denim, Assembly Label, Outerknown and more.
GFG said it expects to grow the Considered assortment to more than 10,000 products in the short-term with new products holding sustainability credentials added daily.
“As a global company with 11.4 million active customers and over 10,000 fashion and lifestyle brand partners, we understand the responsibility we have to both our customers and our planet,” said Patrick Schmidt, Co-CEO of GFG.
