The New Hippie

Where does green fashion go beyond just organic cotton? New designers are presenting some surprisingly stylish options. Avita creates clothing that's sporty and sophisticated with a bamboo-silk blend as well as recycled cashmere that's 1/3 the price of new cashmere. Check on their site for stores around you. Terra Plana's shoes for men and women are not only sleek and ergonomical, but their sustainable design philosophy includes recycling materials like (!!) old jeans and parachutes; using vegetable tanned/chrome-free leathers and natural latex soles; packaging their products in recycled card boxes. Terra Plana has an attractive online shop that offers free shipping.
