Shop Your Values

Embracing your authentic personal style is all about boldly communicating to the world who you are through your clothing. Yes, that includes the styles that appeal to you and the colors that bring you life. It also means conveying your values, when possible. At Poplin, we believe that when your clothing and accessories communicate your values, you use those items to connect with others on a deeper level. You feel proud to support causes that matter to you and you feel more confident knowing that you do your best to live your values. It’s not about perfection. It’s about doing what we can, when we can. Regardless of your individual beliefs, you can rest assured that Poplin will help you look and feel more beautiful in pieces that align with who you are.

Your Values, not Our Values

An essential component of shopping your values is acknowledging that each of us has different beliefs. While protecting the planet may be essential for one person, finding the best value is vital to someone else. We respect you and your beliefs and we’re here to help you integrate those into your wardrobe.

The Power in Shopping for a Cause

Sure, it’s hip right now to support various causes. But, shopping your values is more than a trend. Using your dollar to support brands with values that align with yours encourages other brands to get on board. We’ve seen an explosion of brands who now have inclusive sizing, use sustainable fabrics, avoid slave labor, give a percentage of their profits to nonprofit organizations or source all items from North America. Your dollar also helps encourage Venture Capital firms to invest in values based businesses. When a female founder, for instance, can show the success of other female founders, especially those of color, she has a stronger chance of receiving funding for her company.

So embrace your values, when you can. Need some help? That’s what we’re here for! Dive into the Poplin Pinterest Boards, including those organized by Values.

If our intentional shopping approach resonates with you, take a look at our individual client services or our collective style options then reach out for a complimentary consultation to see if Poplin is a fit for you.

Inclusive Sizing

Shop Inclusive Sizing

Shop pieces available in sizes 1X and above on the Body || Plus Size 1X-2X-3X board.

Why Inclusive Sizing is Important

The average woman in the US is 5’4” and wears a size 14-16. Feeling good about how you look also comes from having options that reflect your authentic personal style and values. Every woman deserves that.

That’s why we have Pinterest boards for women size 14-16-18 and 1X-2X-3X.

That’s also why we work with individual clients to ensure that each one has an array of retailers and brands that communicate her authentic style, align with her values (when possible) AND sell pieces available in her size.

Ethical Fashion

Why Ethical Fashion is Important

Spending your money to align with your values is an important way to leverage your power to impact brands and retailers. Supporting brands who are committed to ethical production inspires other brands to make the leap and helps convince Venture Capital firms to invest in companies who are committed to their values.

Sustainable clothing, for example, is set to reach 6% of the market by 2026, so is still a very small portion overall.

Female Founders
