Not long after working for Eco-Tique, an eco-friendly fashion boutique in St. Paul, Minnesota, I began rummaging the internet for fantastic eco-friendly designers that struck my fancy. About a day or so into my search I came across She-Bible; my heart stopped. I had found my organic soul-mate. All of us ladies at Eco-Tique went a bit gaga for She-Bible and immediately began selling the spring garments at the store.

Since finding She-Bible I’ve had my eye on quite a few items, pining over them each day with or without drool running down my chin, a couple of them being The Faithfull Pantsuit and The Bandit Scarf. I’m pleased to announce, for my birthday, I purchased both these items and am overflowing with bliss. Everything I’ve bought from She-Bible (six items- I like to keep track of my She-Bible closet count) has exceeded my expectations, always modern, artistic, unique and inspiring.

Are you looking for the softest luxury in organics for Spring? If so, Nimli has the Lara Miller line in:

The folks at Nimli explain:

“The backbone of each collection is geometry — each precise, angular line
mimics the sinuous curves of a woman’s body. The pieces within the
collection can be played with, changed and recreated for each individual
wearer. The line can be twisted, wrapped, and flipped upside down to reveal
a whole new garment. These organic shapes are grounded by classic pieces
that rely heavily upon distinct details and a precise fit, combining to
create a collection of smart, clean sophistication. Wear it your way.”

The eco experts over at the Green Loop also share that Miller has an understanding of the wearer that:

• knows woman’s need for function and her aspiration for sustainability
• is stimulated by a vast natural, human and architectural landscape
• incorporates silky soft organic jersey knits that are versatile
• is grounded in geometry and the anatomy of human form

The images are super cool and only organic cotton is used.  The shirts and onesies are packaged in unbleached coffee bags, which are easily then reused at the coop for organic coffee.

The bag lists the ingredients, “one unbleached organic cotton t-shirt roasted with love, laughter and comfort”.  Thus, Baby Blend Tees are T-Shirts for the Daily Grind!

My fave shirt is the Beach Cruiser; I’d wear it if it came in my size!  Of course, the tee or onesie is made from 100% organic cotton and printed with water based inks. Why organic?

We, at Baby Blend Tees, buy organic fruits and vegetables and shop regularly at all of the environmentally friendly stores around, yet it is very difficult to find hip, fun clothes that are made with organic cotton for our children.   We decided to look into printing our designs on organic cotton and found it to be a feasible idea - so along came Baby Blend Natural Tees.

Conventional cotton farming makes up less than 3% of the agricultural farmlands in the world, but it accounts for 25% of the insectcide [sic] and pesticide use.

Like many of the eco-friendly companies we feature on Eco Child’s Play, Baby Blend Tees was started by a mom and is socially responsible. The company is a member of 1% for the Planet.

Donning the list of Toronto’s Fashion Heroes, named by NOW Magazine, is Natalie Stephenson whose Heart On Your Sleeve boutique in Toronto, Ontario is filled with labels that are only cruelty-free/vegan, sweatshop-free, recycled and/or organic.  Passionate about supporting local designers, she carries only goods from Canadian labels.  You’ll find great eco-brands like Grace & Cello, Passenger Pigeon, deux fm, Sparrow handbags and more.  And if you live or work in Toronto, they have a bike delivery service that costs the same as shipping (if you’re within their bicycle delivery zone). 

Normally Black Friday (11/28) is a huge day for retailers, but HOYS will be closed as they’re  participating in an international event, Buy Nothing Day as “an opportunity to express their ongoing frusteration with rampant, excessive consumption“.

That’s what Adrian Desbarats, up in Prince Edward Island, on the far east edge of Canada, decided to do. Far from being yet another boutique green fashion site in an obscure location, Desbarats is about to launch a site with high ambitions: To make the buying of sustainable fashions an affordable, quick, painless experience, at great prices.

It’s easy to find expensive green fashion like Natalie Portman’s vegan shoe line and other such boutique items, or on the other side, hippy skewed hempwear. But what if you want fashion for the more everyday, that looks good, wears well, and is reasonably priced? This is where Fashion & Earth aims to fit.

Now the question that came to my mind is, isn’t there other sites out there that do just that? Desbarats was on the case, with a well thought out response:
