Beau Soleil

A new eco-fashion label is set to launch later this month called Beau Soleil. The dress collection has some great items, including this gorgeous LBD.

The label uses fabric made out of bamboo, vegetable-dyed organic cottons, tencel (which is made from eucalyptus trees), and vintage as well as recycled leather trims. The company’s focus is on sustainability, fair trade and labor, as well as organic raw materials with the end goal to offer consumers environmentally healthy clothing choices without sacrificing fashion.

Beau Soleil will be available at the end of the month at fine boutiques such as Intermix and Shopbop.com.

Eco-chic Olivia Luca

I love the idea of designing one’s own wedding gown. If you know exactly what you want, it’s a lot easier than searching bridal shops until you find ‘the perfect dress’. I recently came across an amazing company called Olivia Luca that allows you to create the dress of your dreams. You select the design, from bodice style to skirt length and shape, fabric, color, detail, and size. The eco-friendly part? Olivia Luca’s fabrics include a growing selection of sustainably produced, fair trade and organic natural fabric options.

The dresses in their online gallery are absolutely stunning. (And so is the photography – I would love to book this photographer for my wedding!)

Olivia Luca wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses are totally affordable. The organic cotton sateen dress I designed was less than $800. So sweet!

Eco-Vegan Tees

This T-shirt by Tippitappi would be perfect for my brother (the vegetarian). The shirts are 100% organic fair-trade cotton and are eco-vegan friendly. Tippitappi uses recycled materials and supports waste recovery. Wear a T-shirt and speak out for the animals and the planet!

Enamore shift dress

Ooh la la! I’m adding this 60s inspired dress from UK-based Enamore to my wish list! The creative fashion label produces beautiful clothing, lingerie and accessories from organic and sustainable fabrics.

Eco-fashion – Sweetheart dress

I’m loving this dress from Eco-fashion boutique League of Lovers and Thieves. This fashion-forward frock is made from a bamboo and organic cotton jersey blend, so it will be movable, comfortable, fashionable and environmental!

Urban Outfitters – urban renewal

Urban Outfitters’ eco-friendly line, Urban Renewal, is now available online! Each item is hand-finished and completely unique, so you’re guaranteed a one-of-a-kind original design, crafted by hand and created using vintage, deadstock and surplus materials sourced from rag mills around the world. Fun idea to reuse and recycle old fabrics into new things!

Baby Clothing – Kate Quinn Organics

I don’t have kids (nor am I planning on having any in the near future) but I couldn’t resist posting these adorable baby clothes from Kate Quinn Organics. All the clothes are made from 100% certified organic cotton and dyed only with low-impact dyes. And did I mention that they are super cute?
