New for Spring '09

Happy Earth Day!

Let's face it, we're an eco-fashion label, so everyday is Earth Day in our book.  But we can't deny that there is something very powerful about this day (and week) in particular, when everywhere you look, people are really making an effort to honor the earth in all sorts of ways.  Here in Chicago, our friends at Green Apple led numerous volunteer activities throughout the city last weekend. This week, we're participating in a sustainable sample sale, two Earth Day fashion shows, and Mountains of the Moon designer Melissa Baswell will be taping a green fashion segment on a local talk show.  Each of us will also be doing things around our homes to make them even more eco-friendly.  Whatever you're doing this Earth Day and week, we salute you, not only for your fine taste in earth-friendly fashion, but for everything you do to help heal our planet.  To say thanks, we're giving you a special coupon and planting trees for all orders you place this week! (See below for more info.)
