We get so excited when we find a great new eco fashion line...especially when we're talking about handbags. Check out these clutches from Kling! The styles are simple, geometric and vibrant, adding a pop of color to any outfit. And, they glide easily from casual daytime outfits to dressier evenings. Designer Natasha Kimling Kwan uses a polyurethane-based fabric that truly feels like fine leather, not to be confused with PVC, which is not an environmentally sound alternative to leather. We checked it out and the polyurethane material used for these bags is created using environmentally safe practices in its production and contains no heavy metals, formaldehyde, Azo-dyes or any other toxic chemicals. Works for us! Get yours at www.klingbags.com.

Fin Eco Friendly Organic Cotton TopSCANDINAVIAN ORGANIC STYLE COMES STATESIDE

 

According to this collection's well known Norwegian designers, Arne & Carlos, the Spring/Summer '08 collection from FIN is "a throw back to aviator heroine Amelia Earhart, inspired by the notion of travel for travel's sake." While we're not sure about that, we are sure that this is a very elegant andFin Eco Friendly Organic Cotton Knit Dress sophisticated collection, full of provocative and intricate design details and delicate organic fabrics. Take the organic cotton PencilSkirt/Tube Top/Dress, for example. It can be worn all three ways (shown left as a top), has great Fin Eco Friendly Organic Cotton Knit Skirtcascading gathers and a flowing tie that looks good worn at your chest or on your hips. There is extensive use of organic cotton knits in the collection that are so femininely beautiful, like the sweet Ruffled Knit Dress (far right) and Knitted Skirt (immediate right). The collection, which includes tops, dresses and skirts, is available at www.shopequita.com.

 


 

Looolo Eco Friendly Organic PillowsCUSHION YOURSELF IN ORGANIC STYLE

 

They say that changing the look and feel of a room is as easy as adding a new accent piece, and after we saw the cushions from Looolo Textiles, we had to agree. These cushions (throw pillows) add to a sofa or bed in much the same way that a great pair of heels adds to your legs…everything just looks better!

 

Made from 100% certified organic cotton materials, the cushions are created by combining different fabrics and using knitting, felting and gathering techniques to enhance the look and texture. Organic from the inside out, each Looolo La Rue 2 Tone Eco Friendly Pillowcushion is filled with Kapok (a fiber found in the seed pods of the Kapok Tree) from the Malaysian Rain Forest for a luxurious down-like quality. They have no buttons or zippers and each one is biodegradable…not that you will ever want to get rid of it! Available in ten different styles and many different color combinations, there is something to suit every home. To see the entire collection, visit www.looolo.ca. Looolo cushions are available in the U.S. at www.2modern.com and www.designpublic.com.
