Clothing Matters

I wish I had a location near me! The staff and owner are extremely knowledgeable about retail processes, and the ways shopping for ecofriendly, ethically and sustainably made items makes a difference. There was a much greater variety than I anticipated, and a slightly higher price point than I anticipated - but understandable given that it's locally owned and not one of the larger, more well known eco-friendly companies.

I purchased a pair of joggers/sweatpants and a pair of faded leggings. They are two of the softest and most comfortable items in my closet. Wish I could get back for more!

Marta was extraordinarily helpful and educational while helping me find exactly what I was looking for. I left feeling great, comfy and empowered! The quality and variety of the ethical selection was fun to work through - even looking for 'just' a black cardigan to replace several fast fashion pieces that are falling apart.

I love the spacious shop and the welcoming atmosphere. I will continue to shop here as needs arise and I learn to live with less ... adding pieces that will last and take care of the earth.

This store is a delight to shop in. They have a well-chosen selection of locally and sustainably made clothing and accessories. The staff is always friendly and helpful and not intrusive.

Clothing Matters is my favorite store. I enjoy shirts, yoga pants, sweatshirts and more. I know the clothes are sustainably made out of quality materials. The best past is the comfort. I feel as if I’m wrapped in a hug when I wear these clothes. Thanks Marta and team for being so conscientious to sell items that nourish our body and soul.

Styles and fabrics are beautiful -- love this place! And I know Marta and her staff research their products thoroughly for sustainability. This means I can rest assured that the fabrics and dyes used in the apparel are safe for the environment and for me, and the people who make the clothing are well paid and work in safe conditions.

When the weather changed to spring in Michigan, I looked in my closet and knew that I needed a refresh. (Goodbye pre-pandemic styles.) My first stop is always Clothing Matters, because I want to wear comfortable eco-conscious clothing and support a small business. I love styles and comfort, and the staff is always so helpful.

I love love love the concept of Clothing Matters. Eco-friendly products are very important to me, and the store has a huge collection of everything from very beautiful handmade sweaters to shirts and dresses by local artists. The staff is friendly, passionate about keeping things green, and knowledgeable about the fabrics and designers they carry.

Great salespeople, the owner was extremely helpful when my daughter and I came in for a mother /daughter shopping trip. I am an extra large hard to fit and I felt like a princess. My daughter is in amazing shape super fit and she found some things that looked great on her as well. I highly recommend this for a wonderful shopping experience and feeling good about yourself and the planet.

What I wear matters to me. That's why I love Clothing Matters. I bought 3 shirts from them 5 years ago and it's just starting they're just starting to wear out so I went back and I bought 4 more t-shirts and a blouse and a sports bra and I know that it's not just good for the environment and it's good for my skin but that my choices make a difference in the whole world. That buying clothes that not only lasts and it's good for me but it's a good for the environment and it's good for everybody else.

Clothing matters is the place to go. The staff was so friendly and informative the first time that I went into the store that I couldn't walk out without trying one of their items.

The Everyday Black T that I bought that day turned into the most used item in my wardrobe. Immediately. I had to go back for more. The everyday t-shirt? Check. The simple white tank? Check. The basic black legging? Check. Flattering? Check. Sexy? Check. Comfortable? Check. I didn't know that it was possible for one store to check so many items off my list. A day (almost) never goes by without a piece of their clothing on my body. Basics. Covered. #win

They have other options aside from the simple basics, of course. However, my demographic seems not to be their target market for style. Good thing because I can only afford their basics.

Oh yeah. And they don't pollute the earth. Check out their website and talk to the staff. Now if I could only get the labels at the grocery store to be pre-checked for me....

I have been running for over 35 years and have worn a variety of winter running clothes. But I have never worn anything better than the tights and fleece running shirt that I got from Marta at Clothing Matters! Both the shirt and tights are made from Bamboo (tasc Performance)! They are the best! Bravo!!!!

The Clothing Matters pieces I have purchased have been very comfortable. Some of the items are a little pricey, but I have gotten good deals on many and feel like it's worth it to spend a little more on clothing that is made with a better social and environmental conscientiousness.

Marta is an absolute delight; she’s very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. In addition, she is offering private shopping appointments if Nestology isn’t open ❤

Clothing matters is a small store. I suggest you go to see all of the different clothing they have. Visit the website. See their videos if you can and see all of their pictures. I have been on their website and that store is a great store. You should go visit their store. They have some nice things there. Let me give you the address- 141 Diamond Avenue Southeast Grand Rapids Mi 49506 Savannah Congress Elementary School 5th grade

What is there not to like about this shop, the people who work there and the products they sell. Every visit has been pleasant - and the eco-friendly underwear is the BEST, most comfortable underwear I have ever owned. Well worth the investment.

Really healthy feeling clothing and you feel so confident while wearing it and proud! Also very enjoyable staff with lots of knoladge to help with any questions on the spot!
