Oslo, Norway based FIN, is an organic global fashion line we’ve admired for some time now.
Shown here are various looks from FIN’s Fall 09 Eco Lux Collection. The eco materials they proudly use are:
The organic collection features exquisite tailoring details as well.
When former model, Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart, couldn’t find a warm winter coat to match her vegan lifestyle, she launched Vaute Couture. She started with a design challenge and an offer to produce the contest winning garments with portion of proceeds going to Farm Sanctuary. 108 entries, 20 finalists, and over 8,000 votes later, one of the three winning designs is now available for purchase.
This is a guest post by John Simonetta, owner of ProformaGreen, an eco-friendly promotional items consultancy. John’s blogs are designed to keep us up to date on the “greening” of his industry.
SanMar, one of the largest shirt manufacturers in the US, just got into the eco-friendly apparel game in a big way.
The SanMar green site at http://www.sanmar.com/Green.html boasts 27 items, many that are eco-friendly versions of their very popular Port Authority band.
Port Authority is normally ranked #1 or #2 in the promotional market industry for sales. It is the shirt most Proforma offices recommend to clients.
SanMar also is offering bamboo shirts but as yet does not seem to have a product to go up against the e.c.o. Fleece items from AshCity, however I suspect they will come out with something to compete in this area.
AshCity offers in-house embroidery services. SanMar does not (of course Proforma Green can embroider any item from any supplier).
What does all this mean for the Ecopreneurist?
