One year after debuting their clothing collection for the eco-fashionista, Toggery founders have just launched LuxGreenLiving.com and will promote an easy-to-adapt eco-friendly lifestyle to her contemporary consumers. “With the explosion of the green movement, it is now possible to not only dress in organic fabrics, we can also apply organic and natural products to our skin (our largest organ!), and furnish our homes with organic and sustainable textiles as well,” says D’Arcy.  Beginning Fall 2009 lines from other organic designers and eco-friendly products will be offered as well. 

“LuxGreenLiving.com stemmed from the increasing consumer demands we have experienced with each new Toggery collection; our goal was to find a way to provide consumers with the best selection and to make it as easy as possible for them to purchase online. It then occurred to us to take it one step further and create a site that could become known for offering the best quality and style in all things organic.
