Passenger Pigeon fall 07


I'm in love with Passenger Pideon's Fall Collection. The screenprinting is adorable with birds, trees and windmills in patterns accross their fabrics. The designs are timeless, not trendy, so these outfits will be in your wardrobe for a long time. I think I'm going to pick up the red wrap dress for this holiday season from their online shop. Check out the whole collection here.

Fashion-Conscious Shop

Ok Econistas, the ultimate shop, so it would seem, has hit the net... but it's a UK based company (ouch on the carbon footprint)... at least the north west passage is free of ice so shipping will be faster over the pole.... ok, very bad joke.

For the econistas in the U.S., this shop has a lot of items to salivate over. The company declares on their website that they hunt down the sexiest, hippest and most luxurious ethical fashion to create a one-stop, ecofashion e-tail boutique. Yippee. So without further adieu: shop.

Peligrosa Knits

Peligrosa Knits produces some fine basics for the econista who loves cashmere long or short sleeved sweaters. Some of their more styled designs, like the ruffle boatneck shown above, are made from 100% organic cotton. The company is dedicated to sustainability throughout the production of it's collection. Beyond using organic cottons, they use natural organic dyes and natural mordants that are derived from roots, herbs, fruits and vegetables. Naturally fermented indigo is a signature garment dye which you can find on some of their fine cashmere sweater coats. To take it a step farther, the company uses all recycled paper printed with soy dyes for their packaging and their shipping bags are 100% biodegradable. You can find this LA based company's wares at fine boutiques nationwide.
