Growth-alternative economic models such as wellbeing economies, steady state and de-growth perspectives have come to prominence as opportunities to foster human health and quality of life without exceeding planetary boundaries. This paper analyses the global textile and garment industry - one of the most globalised and complex supply chains -  to identify key attributes of wellbeing economies and demonstrate how they can be applied in practice. It suggests that significant societal transformations will be required to achieve growth-alternative economic approaches; however, these approaches offer a real chance for achieving planetary and human health.
