I, personally, can never have too many hooded jackets or sweatshirts, in fact, it might officially be a problem for me. Nevertheless, I love the look and feel of a great hoodie, especially one made from organic cotton sherpa fabric:

I am totally and completely smitten with these recycled wool (blanket) handbags by Dutch designer Tineke Beunders. First, the style reminds me of the wood-handled bags I had when I was a pre-teen with the interchangeable covers that buttoned on and off (remember??), and second, I just love the prints and patterns of the blankets she used:

I have long admired and desired Portland designer Suzi Johnson’s Souchi cashmere sweaters for their ultra-luxurious cashmere, but also for the amazing color selection. She’s just recently started designing in organic cotton as well, and the pieces are no less beautiful:

Do you wear your heart on your sleeve? What about your t-shirt? Then take a look at Artevist, a new company/website for people who love to wear t-shirts, love to design t-shirts, and love to talk about t-shirts. Mostly though, it’s a place for people who believe in t-shirts as a way to communicate messages and inspire activism.
Also at Artevist, you can not only buy t-shirts (all ethically made from organic cotton and/or bamboo), but you can submit a design to be printed on a t-shirt:
The concept is simple. Artists compete in open, peer-review T-shirt design contests. All Artevist members can vote for their favourites and leave comments. The most popular submissions are reproduced on organic Tees (bamboo, hemp or cotton), which are ecologically and ethically produced and sourced.
How cool is that? Head over there now to vote on your favorite designs, but also take a look at what’s available now. I have a couple of their tees, one organic cotton and one and organic cotton/bamboo blend (sooo soft) and love the designs:

It’s a great idea, really, forming a community around environmental activism and t-shirts. And now is the time for great ideas…

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to get rid of cashmere…but they do. Seattle designer Beth Neilson thought they were still perfectly good, if maybe a little ugly, and re-designed old cashmere sweaters and scarves into new sweaters and scarves with just a bit of cutting and sewing, and a little re-aranging. The outcome is her line of recycled cashmere sweaters, scarves, hats, and bracelets:
