A truly stylish, easy to wear, feel good collection for the summer! The entire Elroy collection retails for under $120 CAD and is made from organic, sustainable fabrics: soft-as silk tencel chambray denim, organic cotton and wild, raw silk – vegan friendly as the silkworms are unharmed in the production of the fabric.

Canadian Eco-Chic: LABEL Boutique

by tdomf_eb66d on March 4, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Designers Shawna Robinson and Natalie Sydoruk have been collaborating since March 2007 on their clothing line, Label. The idea was born out of their mutual desire for quality clothing that fit their unique lifestyles. Shawna, a freelance wardrobe stylist and aspiring artist, and Natalie, a model, both desired clothing that would allow them to bounce around the city looking polished and modern, without compromising comfort, aesthetics or their dignity.

Natalie and Shawna are deeply committed to creating clothing from an ethical standpoint, utilizing, wherever possible, organic, renewable or reclaimed fibers for their garments. Production is by local and all fabric waste is used by a local stuffed creature artist.

Using only organic and reclaimed materials, Katey Nilan– the Northern California-based designer behind KateyLove Jewelry– creates each piece individually by hand. Made of leather and silk, Katie uses gold to frame semi-precious and precious gemstone centerpieces. The finished product: eclectic, whimsical and modern, with a one-of-a-kind attitude. Unique coloring and markings of each gemstone ensure no two necklaces are the same.

And Katey’s love doesn’t discriminate. Vegan and hypoallergenic options available; 100% recycled packaging material used each and every time. Necklaces range from $80-180; bracelets to be added to the line Spring 2010.

Because you can buy me love.

Must Have Site: Hip Green Deals

by grechen on August 25, 2009 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I am a little behind. I don’t really do Woot, or get that excited about one-day-only deals (well, sometimes I do, depends on the deal) like so many other people do, but I do think the idea is great.

Enter the just launched, one deal, one day site for eco-fashionistas, Hip Green Deals. Imagine the potential…

Today’s deals are these organic cotton ethically handmade totes by Canadian artists Simon Underwood and Nina Palmer:

Now I’m interested to see what tomorrow brings…

Oh, also, for a limited time, when you sign up for their daily e-mails you’ll be entered to win a beautiful fairly traded silver necklace by the Andean Collection.
