sustainable/long-lasting homes and goods

I like to wear tradtional clothing, enjoying well-made and sustainable homes and goods.

Hi,
Is "sustainable" in the above equal to 'long-lasting?" Thanks.

Not in the modern sense of the word. Sustainable = Capable of being continued with minimal long-term effect on the environment: sustainable agriculture.
