Ciel - Designer Ethical Clothing

Ciel, named after the French word for ’sky’, is a designer fashion label aimed at eco-conscious women who are passionate about style and quality.

Ciel was established in 2004 by internationally acclaimed fashion designer Sarah Ratty, whose eco-philosphy is of paramount importance to her label.

Ciel uses a wide range of exceptional quality, luxuriously soft fabrics that have been developed with an eco-philosphy. The fabrics, which include cotton, linen, alpaca wool, modal, hemp silks and bamboo denim are organically grown in Peru, and are died using non-toxic, 100% Azo-free dyes. Soft fleeces used in Ciel’s lingerie are often left undyed as they are sorted into colour grades by the Peruvian farmers as part of the manufacturing process.

In addition to the excellent credentials of the fabrics origins, Ciel clothing has several other environmental design considerations such as being suitable for low washing temperatures and designs that stay in fashion from season to season.

The company offset their carbon footprint through their partnershop with STARO who promote and support the protection and the conservation of the Amazon Rainforest.

Ciel has built a strong reputation among fashion and eco-conscious celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Cate Blanchett and Zoë Ball, and the label continues to grow from strength to strength.

Ciel is available in designer boutiques in both the UK & US, and is also available at this online ethical retailer.

Ciel’s combination of style, quality and sustainability makes their garments highly desirable amongst people in the know.
