SUSTAINABLE STYLE shopecofashion.ca
Eco style advocacy organization Fashion Takes Action (fashiontakesaction.com) has launched its own online boutique to connect e-shoppers with some of Canada’s top green clothing and accessory labels. Sustainable Style features well known names like Aimé womenswear, Bazant jewellery and Thieves yoga gear as well as new earth-smart discoveries like Deborah Adams drawstring “packbacks” made from upcycled leather and vintage ticking.
We love Azadi Project and the line’s fair trade collection of colourful dresses, tops and skirts embroidered with pyramid and camel motifs by artisans in Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Bangladesh. Handsome accessory hunters shouldn’t miss AYLA pocket squares in reclaimed cottons and satins.
