The Sustainable Fashion Movement
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting and wasteful industries in the world. The production and distribution of clothing result in massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and textile waste.
We believe that fashion can be both stylish and sustainable,” says the company’s founder, Stéphane de la Rivière.
The Birth of Ecoalf
Ecoalf was founded in 2014 by Stéphane de la Rivière, a French entrepreneur with a passion for the environment. De la Rivière was inspired by the devastating impact of the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the subsequent environmental damage. He realized that the fashion industry was a significant contributor to pollution and waste, and he wanted to create a brand that would challenge this status quo.
The Early Years
In the early days, Ecoalf focused on creating high-quality, sustainable clothing using recycled materials. The company’s first product was a recycled polyester jacket, which quickly gained popularity among environmentally conscious consumers. As the brand grew, Ecoalf expanded its product line to include clothing, accessories, and home textiles made from sustainable materials.

The founders were influenced by the growing awareness of climate change and the need for sustainable practices in the fashion industry. They were inspired by the success of other sustainable fashion brands and saw an opportunity to create a brand that would not only reduce waste but also promote a more conscious approach to fashion consumption.*
The Early Years
Ecoalf’s early years were marked by a focus on innovation and experimentation.
