The Best Black Friday Sales From Sustainable Brands—Updated Regularly – The Good Trade

TOPICS:

Posted By: jasabacklink November 17, 2023

The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

As a kid in the ‘90s and ‘00s, I watched grown adults on the news, fistfighting over TVs and trampling one another for an iPod on Black Friday. The horror stories I’ve heard have only ever kept me far, far away from any retail store the day—or even weekend—after Thanksgiving. It’s nearly impossible to avoid the noise of sales and stuff literally the day after a holiday apparently committed to gratitude here in the US. (And which deserves its own conversation—read more about the true history of Thanksgiving).

But one of the biggest conversations we have frequently, with each other and with our readers, is how to make sustainable choices on a budget. Well-crafted and fairly made goods are inherently more expensive than those available on the ultra-mass market, sometimes leaving folks who have less money to spend feeling excluded. But exclusivity is not a sustainable approach, either.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about shopping mindfully on a budget, it’s this: You do not have to consume at the pace of your peers. If you’re used to buying twenty dresses for $5 a piece, you don’t have to purchase twenty sustainable dresses at $100 a piece. It is okay to purchase one instead of twenty; no one worth your energy is going to judge you for not consuming your way through a fast fashion wardrobe. If and/or when we want to update our style more frequently, we turn to secondhand shopping, DIYs, and clothing swaps with friends for a less costly way to switch things up. We try to take the same approach with home goods and beauty buys, too.

But there are even limitations on singular purchases, depending on what your budget allows. That’s why this year, we’re sharing a roundup of brands offering holiday sales over Black Friday and Cyber Week—and we encourage you to use this list as a reference for gifts and goods you were already planning to buy. If you have a specific brand or item in mind, skip all the rest and hit Ctrl+F or ⌘+F on desktop to search the page for what you want. (If you’re on mobile here’s how to find on page on Apple and Android devices.)

Bear with me as I update daily as new sales are announced and others end; this guide is meant to be a living, breathing resource for you to check back in on and see if any products on your list are available at a discount. I’ll be updating through the first couple days of December to include some Cyber Monday and Cyber Week sales, so keep an eye out!

So this year, maybe you’ll find one or two items you’ve been looking for, but I also wish for you a weekend of rest, community, and quiet.
