Eco Fashion Review: Elwood Clothing
October 31, 2008
When it comes to shopping for eco fashion, those of us who don’t have deep pockets often find ourselves with a selection of garments that are comfortable, stylish and affordable (choose any two). While the scratchy, unattractive hemp creations of yesteryear are fading in memory, a new crop of environmentally conscious fashion is getting attention, and one of the brands that epitomizes the casual cool side of the eco-movement is Elwood.
Elwood bills itself as a ‘lifestyle brand’ that encompasses music, art and environmentalism. Their line of clothing and accessories for men and women is made mostly of sustainable materials like bamboo, hemp, organic cotton and recycled yarn. Elwood is part of 1% for the Planet, an alliance of businesses who pledge to donate at least one percent of their annual sales to creating a healthier planet.
My personal favorite among the women’s clothing is the Pinky dress (pictured middle above), a soft and cozy dress (which can also be worn as a tunic) made of bamboo and cotton. It’s been a great addition to my fall wardrobe – warm, versatile and super cute with leggings and boots.
