YES...SHOES TOO!

Majority of shoes in our world today are created with leather, hence it was suprising to come across a cruelty-free vegan shoe designer. Charmone designs stylish women’s shoes made from a lightweight, breathable Italian microfiber that is water-resistant. The microfiber is created utilizing sweatshop-free labor in a environmentally-friendly production process.

GOTTA LOVE MR. LARKIN

OH LA LA......

MR. LARKIN
In doing my research I discovered Mr. Larkin and this designer is without a doubt my fave out off all the ones featured in this blog .Mr. Larkin is a relatively new eco-fashion label started by San Francisco designer Ms. Casey Larkin Larkin. Her Spring/Summer 2010 collection uses a variety of organic and natural fabrics such as hemp, bamboo, peace silk, milk fiber, and organic cotton, which she dyes with natural materials (such as cabbage, mint, iron, berries, and maple leaves) and then adorns with vintage buttons, ribbons, and rhinestones.

In her designs it is evident that Larkin has a fondness for vintage clothing. Although Larkin often utilizes vintage details and inspiration in her designs, her pieces transcend nostalgia and are completely innovative and fashion-forward. Additionally, they are also sexy, flattering and practical, a combination at which is hard to combo in the world of eco friendly haute couture....Check out her beautiful pieces......

McGregor and Green

McGregor and Green is a label that has been around since 1921, however in 2009 the famous line began tp offer "green"clothes to men and women by collaborating with the Dutch company Green.2, creating an appealing collection to those with discriminating taste in fashion. Organic cottons are used in the making of these high quality clothes, and packed into biodegradable bags. Organic pesticides are also used in the growing of this cotton so they do not harm the environment the way chemical-based pesticides do. Traditional McGregor tailored shirts are included in this collection for men along with polo shirts in neutral colors that are commonly found during the fall season, with deeper colors like burgundy on the women's clothes. Many of the ensemble pieces can be purchased individually, and combined with other eco-friendly garments. These fashions will definitely be popular with environmentally aware individuals. McGregor fashions can be purchased through their boutiques in Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, France, Ireland, Switzerland, and Spain.
