Is Eco Chic the New Must Have?
Posted by Marlaina Quintana
I have always been a follower of fashion. Lately, I’ve seen more and more options and interest in environmentally conscious fashion. It is sure not what it used to be. It has grown from the cliché hemp necklaces to unlimited choices ranging from organic cotton, vegan shoes, recycled steel jewelry and even recycled candy wrapper handbags. The organic revolution has hit the runway. It is becoming quite fashionable to be able to say, “My shoes are 100-percent vegan”.
In fact, even large retailers are partnering with eco-conscious designers. Last year, Target partnered with New York City eco-fashion designer, Rogan Gregory, to sell a 100-percent organic collection.
Eco-conscious clothing is available and growing at all price points from affordable everyday fashions to high-end designers.
Many Web sites such as Modify, sell all eco-fashions that encourage consumers to live better than ever with trendsetter designs that promote the well-being of the earth. Other great Web sites offering eco-clothing and accessories are BTC Elements and Eco-Chic Purses. And the list of available options goes on and on.
Eco chic certainly creates the concept that it’s possible to live a greener life without losing a sense of style.

Reading this is making me want to go shopping! You should check out a boutique in my neighborhood, it’s called Chartreuse. I try to support local businesses, so I feel good when I shop there for sustainable, eco-friendly clothing. Seems like the owner has put a lot of thought into what she carries.
Hi Marlaina,
Let’s go green together! Thanks for mentioning EcoChicPurses. EcoChicPurses are constructed from recycled fabrics that might have ended up in a landfill. EcoChicPursesare economical, washable, collapsible, and sustainable. They’re constructed from recycled fabrics that might have ended up in a landfill. We redesign them into a variety of purses for the eco-conscious fashionista. We’d like to thank you by sending you an EcoChicPurse. Please send us your address.

Lani,
I love my EcoChic Purse! Thanks so much. It is great to use when I don’t want to carry my big handbag. It’s very light and very stylish!
