The CFC Membership is for purpose-driven sustainable fashion founders and freelancers who are tired of building in isolation, second-guessing every decision, or wondering if this business will ever feel sustainable for them.
Regardless of your business model, thriving in conscious fashion means knowing how to navigate the unique challenges of values-driven work, communicate your value authentically, and build connections with people who understand your vision.
The CFC Membership is perfect for you if you are a…
who's passionate about your mission but exhausted by the constant problem-solving, wondering if you're pricing properly, sourcing smart, or truly protecting your business.
who wants to stay ahead on industry trends, showcase your expertise, connect with potential collaborators, and build a sustainable income doing work you believe in.
I've been the person burning out at 1am, wondering if anyone else in sustainable fashion was dealing with the same challenges I was facing.
I went from working at a fair trade label, to freelancing in digital marketing, to founding my own media business (Conscious Life & Style, which reached millions), to eventually leading Conscious Fashion Collective.
Through all the pivots and learning curves, I kept searching for a community that actually got it — where I could ask real questions, learn from people ahead or alongside me, and feel less alone in building something meaningful.
That community didn't exist. So we built it here.
and a South African sustainable fashion and climate justice communicator. I believe that sharing ideas, knowledge, and new ways of being is key to transforming fashion. Being based in a country — and on a continent — with rich sustainability cultures, I'm fascinated by how we build welcoming, inclusive movements that honor the past while looking to the future.
That's why I love what I do here. Over the past two years I've hosted over 80 events — workshops, panels, live expert interviews — designed to help CFC members break out of their silos, have nuanced conversations, and learn in community. Because in an industry that thrives on disconnection, that feels like a radical act.
It's time to build a sustainable fashion business that's also sustainable for you.

“The CFC community has been tremendous — from industry insights, networking groups, to individuals who volunteer for my in-person events, joining CFC has been one of my best decisions last year. It may seem like a big investment to join in this current economy, but Elizabeth and her team are curating this amazing community that's not to be missed. Joining is the smart choice!”

We get it! You're already stretched thin running your business. Membership isn't about giving you more to do, it's about making what you're already doing easier.
Can't make the live events? Every educational session is recorded and connection events are recapped, so you can catch up on your own schedule.
Need quick advice? Drop a question in the forums and get responses without attending a live call. No question goes unanswered. Our community is invested in each other's success.
Looking for something specific? Search our resources and grab what you need.
Many of our members go through seasons of being super active and seasons where they're more in "absorbing mode", accessing recordings and resources when they need them. We know life and business go through seasons, and the membership is designed to support you through all of it.
Great question ;)
We've all been to those awkward networking events that feel transactional or surface-level. Here's what makes CFC different:
Real expertise, not just random advice. You're not just learning from random strangers on the internet (or getting generic AI tips that you don't know if you can trust). You're getting access to industry experts from organizations like Good On You, Patagonia, Fashion Revolution, and Global Fashion Agenda.
Curated community, not a free-for-all. We review every application to ensure members are genuinely committed to sustainable fashion. This isn't a LinkedIn group where anyone can join and no one actually knows each other. It's an intentional community of people who share your values.
Ongoing support, not one-off events. The CFC Membership is so much more than an individual networking engagement. This is a year-round resource where you can get feedback on your work, ask questions when you're stuck, and build real relationships over time.
We're here to facilitate connections. Through member matching, curated intros, and tagging members in forum discussions, we actively help you connect with the right people (not just throw you into a room and hope for the best).
Think of it less like networking and more like having a team of advisors and peers in your corner.
CFC opens for new members in cohorts. And for our October 2026 cohort, the waitlist is the only way in.
Here's how it works:
Join the waitlist. You'll receive a behind-the-scenes look at CFC over the coming weeks: member stories, expert sessions, and a real picture of what membership looks like day to day.
Doors open October 27. Waitlist members are notified when membership opens. It's first come, first served so being on the waitlist and ready matters.
Pay to confirm membership. Select your membership plan — quarterly at $147 or annually at $497 (save 15%) — and complete your member profile. You'll be in immediately.
Settle in. New members are welcomed into the community and introduced to the group. We review new member profiles in the first week to make sure CFC is genuinely the right fit. In the rare case it isn't, we'll reach out directly and issue a full refund.
All of our core membership events are virtual, which means you can join us from wherever you can hop on a Zoom call! We have members from five continents currently: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Most events are hosted on Thursdays in the mornings for Americas and afternoon/evenings for EMEA. We may sometimes host events on other days and times too.
We record all of educational events. And you also will have the opportunity to post your questions or ask for feedback beforehand for any event that contains a Q&A or review portion.
Renewals: You can purchase an annual plan (paid every 12 months) or a quarterly plan (paid every 3 months). Your subscription will renew automatically unless you cancel.
While we would be bummed to see you go, we understand that needs and situations change. You can cancel your subscription through the membership portal directly at any time. No complicated hoops to go through.
Price: We like to take care of our members, so the price you sign up with is locked in for the duration of your membership (unless you are using a temporary offer code). That means that even if the price goes up for new members, your price will stay the same.
We offer global access pricing for members joining us from select countries in the Global South. If this applies to you, please indicate this your application and we will send you more information.
We also have a nonprofit discount. Please indicate that you are a nonprofit founder in your application for this offer.
Also, keep in mind that professional memberships can often be eligible as tax-deductible business expenses for business owners, depending on your business and locale. Please consult your accountant or tax advisor for advice on local laws and individual guidance!

Being a slow fashion entrepreneur can feel isolating, especially if you’re not in a fashion hub. This community makes me feel like I have so many compatriots to talk to, ask questions, and share experiences. The networking has been invaluable, and the resources at our fingertips—from retailer lists to workshops—are well worth and beyond the membership fee!"
