My Eco-Friendly Fashion Picks

 Happy Sunday, fashion lovers! Although I am on a self-imposed shopping restriction (gotta make those financial goals happen somehow), I am still getting a semi-high by shopping for you guys. So selfless; I know.

 Here are my 5 picks for today of some great finds from eco-friendly designers and sites. Enjoy!

1. Samantha Pleet

Samantha Pleet is a 29 year old designer from BROOKLYN (woot!), who graduated from Pratt and uses organic materials in her clothing line. Her showroom is on Mercer St. in New York. Some of her designs were recently featured on the Bravo channel's "Fashion Hunters".

2. SA VA

SA VA offers a wide range of eco-friendly and fair trade clothing. What I like about this company is that while not all of their clothes are 100% natural, they do use only use fair trade textiles and often sustainable or organic fabrics-as well as locally made. You can click on any any of those categories on the website to sort your search results by fair trade, sustainable, all natural, etc.

3. Mohop

Mohop makes American-crafted sandals that feature sustainably harvested cherrywood from Pennsylvania, black soles derived from natural rubber and rice husks, and padded footbeds made from faux leather. The best part is you can lace any ribbon through the elastic loops to create your own one-of-a-kind, custom-fit pair! You can also purchase laces, ties and accessories from their site as well. LOVE this idea!

 4. Jules Elin

The juleselin knitwear line (designed by Julia Burnbaum) features a versatile collection of jackets, sweaters, and dresses created from organic cotton and recycled fabrications. As a line that emerged from the designer's need to have a jacket that would be comfortable for wearing both inside and outside, the line has grown to include a range of coats and sweaters, each inspired and named after someone very close to Julia.
