In celebration of Earth Day tomorrow I wanted to talk about eco-friendly fashions and what makes these styles “eco-friendly”

We all want to do our part to help the future of our environment and it is nice to know that designers are feeling the same way and offering more eco-friendly products. There are magazines and books devoted to helping us live a greener life too. Our favorite publication is Boho Magazine. This magazine is all about celebrating being a women and how to better improve our lives and the lives around us. It features numerous eco-chic brands. One of the brands in the magazine is Stewart Brown. We love Stewart Brown for eco-friendly clothing. The cotton is so comfortable and the quality of the material is amazing. You feel great on the inside and out when you wear the clothing. Check out some items from Stewart Brown and read a little about their product here.

Now let me go into what makes a product “Green”  The idea behind organic clothing is to minimize the use of chemicals in the cultivation of fibers and to limit the contact of processed materials with the body. The basic difference between organic fabrics and non-organic fabrics is found in the nature of the fiber. Conventional fibers are subject to the synthetic chemicals used by farmers to deter pests and promote crop growth. Organic fibers are cultivated naturally and feature low-impact, plant based dying processes.* Organic fabrics are being used not only in many clothing lines, but in certain brands of linens and blankets as well.

There are a lot of little things that each of us can do to make our planet more green. The little things have a huge impact! At jb and me, we use all recyclable material in our bags and gift boxes. We also have the option to use one of our re-usable totes. Tomorrow we are going to give away our eco-friendly totes to everyone who places an order.

We would love to hear how you make your Earth a little greener. Leave a comment!
