“Finding green clothing that’s stylish, affordable and lasts well can be a challenge,” says Adrian Desbarats, president of Fashion & Earth. “Even though many people want to make clothing choices that are healthier for themselves and also better for the planet, they don’t always know where to turn. We aim to make it easier for everybody to access high-quality eco-friendly fashions that look and feel great to offer a truly sustainable solution to the environmental problems of the traditional garment industry.”
The green clothing site will feature stylish yet comfortable everyday basics and career-wear including tops, jeans, jackets and shoes, as well as dresses, skirts and accessories from a variety of socially and environmentally responsible brands. The brands are subject to a stringent evaluation process to ensure alignment with Fashion & Earth’s requirements for organic fabrics, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and fair trade practices, in addition to undergoing what Desbarats calls the “everyday person” test. “We aim to carry green clothing items that the everyday person loves to wear and can afford to buy,” he says. “The quality and fit of the organic clothing we offer means these garments will quickly become wardrobe favorites that can hold up over time.”
Prices are expected to range between $30 and $120 for women’s eco-friendly fashion tops and sweaters, and pants and jeans are expected to run between $60 and $100. To help make its eco-friendly clothing even more affordable, FashionandEarth.com will offer free shipping on all orders, including for returned items. Says Desbarats, “These prices are similar to what a shopper might expect to pay for quality conventional clothing. But Fashion & Earth offers the added peace of mind that all the clothing is organic and fair trade. So, you can look good and do good at the same time.”
To be among the first to shop the affordable lines of organic clothing and also receive a special offer of 20 percent off when the store opens in September, shoppers can visit FashionandEarth.com and join the company’s mailing list. The company is already making available information to the public including its policies and additional information of interest such as the types of green fabrics used in its organic clothing, how to recycle used clothing, etc.
While the eco-friendly fashion retail website will be launching a selection of women’s clothing in September, men’s and children’s green clothing lines won’t be far behind. “We expect to make available green clothing for the entire family by the end of 2009, as we also continually expand our women’s line,” noted Desbarats.
