ENDANGERED GLOBE. THE LAST OF A DYING BREED.
We are Endangered Globe. A sustainably sourced contemporary fashion line campaigning to protect endangered wildlife and bring awareness to living consciously. Endangered Globe was started as a way to save dying animals and make an impact on the fashion world. We are seeking to promote the idea that the clothes you choose to wear can go hand in hand with an eco-conscious lifestyle. That choosing to wear a sustainable brand does not have to sacrifice any approach towards being stylish.
We at Endangered Globe want to make an impact and give people the choice by providing an alternative to fast fashion. This alternative can eventually help with producing less pollution towards landfills and waste. Every choice you make has an affect, and by providing this option we hope consumers will make the better choice. It’s about quality over quantity.
In this day and age, humans must be aware of their purchases to the fashion industry. We are
proud to have our clothing made right here in the USA that marvels the importance of keeping jobs here in America. These garments are produced in our current home of Dallas, TX.
When you have the information in your hands, there is only one question. What will you choose to do to help our planet?
This debuts Endangered Globe. Embark on this journey with us; each of our limited edition collections seeks to change the fashion industry and protect our mother earth and its inhabitants. Sustainability is the future.
We are the last of a dying breed.

This launches endangered globe’s contemporary collection. Tighter fits, deeper swooped necklines and scalloped finishes are central design elements to this collection. It celebrates the best in luxury sustainable fabrics by using various blends, which include bamboo, organic cotton, tencel and modal. These fabrics offer a very nice hand, remarkable feel and breathiness to it. Sustainability is the future.
