“Embodying” an Eco-Friendly Lifestyle

by grechen on October 30, 2008 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Honestly with all the fabulous eco-friendly boutiques online and off, there’s no excuse for NOT adapting your wardrobe to your earth-friendly lifestyle. That of course, does not mean throwing everything out and starting over (please don’t). It does mean that if you have anything that needs to be replaced, you should consider looking for choices in alternative fabrics like Organic Cotton, Soy, Tencel, Hemp, and Bamboo, which are getting easier to find.

A brand new entry to online eco-fashion, embodies, joins the ranks of so many other boutiques dedicated to sustainable design and environmentally-friendly practices. Embodies selects the designers they work with only after asking a series of questions like:

What fabrics are used in the clothing? Are they organic, sustainable, recycled or reclaimed? If so how?
Where are the items manufactured? Under what conditions?
What types of dyes are used in the clothing?

…the same questions I ask before buying…

Most of embodies designers are well known in the world of eco-fashion: Bahar Shapar, Ecoganik, Modaspia, Amenity, Stewart + Brown, and Organic by John Patrick, but you may not know of vegan shoe designer Form & Fauna, Tinc’s GORGEOUS hemp/bamboo smocks, or Love Heals jewelry -
