7 Top Sustainable Cottagecore Clothing Brands to Shop Now
As a lover of all things Cottagecore, I know how important it is to find clothing that embodies the charm and whimsy of this aesthetic while staying true to sustainable values. Before we get started, make sure to check out The Real Sustainable Cottagecore Wardrobe—my shop! From homey thrifted treasures to dreamy dresses, timeless pants, and romantic blouses, there’s something for every Cottagecore closet and cozy house.
Fast fashion can be tempting, but there’s something so rewarding about choosing brands that prioritize ethical production, eco-friendly materials, and quality that lasts. Here are my top picks for sustainable Cottagecore clothing brands you’ll fall in love with—along with tips to get the most out of your wardrobe..
Christy Dawn
Christy Dawn is a brand that truly embodies the slow fashion ethos. Their dresses are thoughtfully crafted from deadstock fabrics—repurposed, leftover materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. This mindful approach not only reduces environmental impact but also gives each piece a rare, limited-edition quality. Every garment feels like a one-of-a-kind treasure, infused with a sense of purpose and story.
If you’re drawn to dreamy, prairie-inspired silhouettes and vintage charm, Christy Dawn is a name to know. Their designs echo a timeless simplicity, perfect for the cottagecore heart.
And now, they’ve taken sustainability a step further with Christy Dawn Regenerates—a secondhand marketplace where past pieces find new homes. It’s a beautiful way to keep garments in circulation, deepen the brand’s commitment to conscious living, and invite more of us into the slow fashion movement without compromising on style or values.
Tip: Invest in one of their timeless pieces and layer it with a cardigan or jacket for year-round wear.
Spell & The Gypsy Collective
For whimsical designs that feel like they’ve stepped out of a storybook, Spell & The Gypsy Collective is a true standout. This beloved Australian brand weaves magic into every piece—from ethereal dresses and flowing skirts to delicate, vintage-inspired blouses that perfectly capture the dreamy Cottagecore spirit. Their designs feel like they belong in a meadow at golden hour or at a sun-dappled garden tea party.
What makes Spell even more special is their deep commitment to sustainability. They prioritize organic fabrics, practice responsible manufacturing, and continuously invest in recycling initiatives and ethical production practices. Every garment is a blend of conscious craftsmanship and fairy-tale charm.
Even better, Spell now offers a secondhand platform (Respell) directly through their website, allowing customers to buy and sell pre-loved, authentic Spell pieces. This is a wonderful way to explore the brand—especially if you’re just dipping your toes in or are hunting for one of those rare, hard-to-find collection pieces that Spell lovers treasure. It’s a thoughtful, sustainable option that lets you join the Spell story at your own pace.
Tip: Pair their floral maxi dresses with lace-up boots and a woven basket bag for a quintessential Cottagecore look.
Doen
Dôen is another must-have brand for Cottagecore enthusiasts who adore romantic, vintage-inspired clothing. Their pieces—adorned with puff sleeves, delicate florals, and soft, feminine silhouettes—feel as though they’ve been plucked from the pages of a Jane Austen novel. Each design carries a sense of quiet nostalgia and timeless elegance, perfect for wandering through wildflower fields or reading poetry beneath a willow tree.
Beyond the beauty of their garments, Dôen is deeply rooted in values that matter. They prioritize sustainability by using responsible materials and practices, and they are passionate about empowering women. Much of their production takes place in female-led or family-owned factories around the world, ensuring that every piece is not only lovely but made with integrity.
To make their collections even more accessible and circular, Dôen offers a secondhand platform right on their website called Hand Me Dôen. Whether you're looking for a past-season gem or simply want to explore the brand at a gentler price point, it's a beautiful way to shop sustainably and extend the life of their heirloom-quality pieces.
Tip: Layer one of their smocked dresses with a chunky knit cardigan and ankle boots to transition seamlessly from crisp mornings to cozy evenings.
Sezane
A blend of French elegance and sustainable practices, Sezane is perfect for anyone who loves a touch of sophistication in their Cottagecore wardrobe. They focus on eco-friendly production, using organic cotton and recycled materials. Their floral blouses, midi dresses, and cozy knitwear are perfect for creating a romantic yet practical look.
Tip: Sezane often releases seasonal collections, so keep an eye out for their limited-edition pieces. They’re worth snagging before they’re gone!
Reformation
Reformation is a powerhouse in sustainable fashion, and they offer plenty of Cottagecore-friendly options. From flowing dresses with puff sleeves to sweet, vintage-inspired tops, their designs are modern takes on classic styles. They prioritize carbon neutrality and use sustainable fabrics like TENCEL™ and recycled fibers.
Tip: Their sale section is a goldmine for scoring beautiful pieces without breaking the bank.
LoveShackFancy Preloved Finds
While LoveShackFancy is known for its dreamy, whimsical designs, the price point can be steep. That’s why I always recommend checking preloved options. Platforms like The RealReal or Poshmark often have LoveShackFancy pieces at a fraction of the cost. Buying secondhand is a fantastic way to stay sustainable and still indulge in this luxe brand.
Tip: Check out my consignment shop or LTK for curated finds—I often source LoveShackFancy treasures!
Fillyboo
If you adore handmade pieces with intricate embroidery, Fillyboo is a Cottagecore dream. This Australian brand creates stunning, boho-inspired clothing with a focus on artisan techniques. They collaborate with local artisans, ensuring fair wages and preserving traditional craftsmanship.
Tip: Fillyboo’s dresses often come with adjustable waist ties, making them versatile for any season or occasion.
Bonus- Hill House Home
I can’t talk about Cottagecore fashion without mentioning my love for Hill House Home dresses! These dreamy, romantic pieces feel like they’re straight out of a storybook, and the best part? They’re made with sustainability in mind. Hill House focuses on creating timeless, high-quality dresses that are designed to last, which is a win for both your wardrobe and the planet. The iconic Nap Dress is perfect for pairing with cozy cardigans, boots, or even a denim jacket for a more casual look. If you’re ready to add a touch of sustainable elegance to your closet, shop their collection now—links below! You’ll fall in love just like I did. 🌸
Tip: When investing in a Hill House Home dress, opt for neutral or soft floral patterns—they’re incredibly versatile and pair beautifully with your Cottagecore staples like cardigans, vintage boots, and even a wide-brim hat for a breezy, effortless look.
