Olio United Trunk Show: Spotlight on Bahar Shahpar

by grechen on July 16, 2009 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

If you haven’t shopped the Olio United trunk show yet, hurry over there because it ends this Saturday! Seriously, the Olio United ladies have put together an amazing opportunity to buy truly special eco-friendly clothing, shoes & jewelry by independent designers from New York, San Francisco and Portland at reduced prices. And some items for sale are sneak peeks (like some Holiday 09 Bahar Shahpar pieces) and made to order – Emily Katz – so you may not get this chance again!

The New York designer in the trunk show is Bahar Shahpar, a sustainable designer for three years. I am always impressed by her prints and use of colors – My two favorite pieces by Bahar are the shoplifter skirt in this GORGEOUS teal color, and the dress in a speckled organic cotton print.

Shoplifter Skirt: $185

Must Have: Organic Cotton Andira Rain Tees

by grechen on July 14, 2009 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I love this line of organic cotton hand printed (with eco-friendly dyes) tees by Andira at Red Envy Boutique – the design is so beautiful, it looks like a watercolor painting:

andira rain tees, organic cotton, fair trade

About Andira:

Andira donated school supplies to children living in endangered rain forests across Central and South America and had them illustrate what they see occurring around them. Each Andira Rain Tee features their thoughts and illustrations and the children’s name.

Andira’s goal is to educate consumers while giving hope to the people and wildlife of rain forest communities. For every Andira Rain Tee sold, a child involved in Kids Saving the Rain Forest, Costa Rica will receive a tree that they can plant in an area of forest that has been destroyed.

Andira Rain Tees are all 100% certified organic cotton and handmade in Peru using only eco friendly inks and dyes at family owned factories where workers are paid 25% above average wages. For every tee sold a child living in endangered rain forest land receives a tree to plant and learns about how they can protect their forests.

About the Trunk Show Designers:

Bahar Shahpar, New York City: Bahar Shahpar’s luxurious and sustainable womenswear line is smart, playful, and feminine- much like her customer. Her collection is a harmonious display of bold colors and prints, beautiful craftsmanship and design, and fine, earth-friendly fabrics.

Form and Fauna, San Francisco: Form and Fauna creates beautiful shoes from some of the highest quality sustainable materials, including organic cotton and hemp fabric, Italian synthetics, and second generation scrap wood. The collection is all handcrafted by artisans in the U.S.

Emily Katz, Portland: Emily Katz’ current eco-collection is an exhibition of simple, neutral colors and sexy, yet classy silhouettes. Her signature pieces include wrap dresses and oversized cowl neck tunic tops- staple pieces for the modern closet.

Sword and Fern, Portland: Inspired by everything from organic geometry and modern sculpture to the abundance of Pacific Northwest passages and forests, self-taught designer Emily Baker has created an eco-friendly collection of earrings and necklaces using cast off car parts, recycled glass, and found ephemera. The result is a classically futuristic aesthetic of elegant and clever sustainability.
