Sustainability:::fashion

Before I get on with this week's sustainable picks I'd like to say thanks to all of you who have been so encouraging of this series. It's definitely been the most fun, natural and peaceful endeavor I've set out on since I started the Paper Mango blog a little over a year ago. With that in mind, I'm adding a bit more structure to the series to keep it going on the straight and narrow. From now on you'll see post titles like today's with different genre's of sustainable products taking the spotlight. Upcoming posts will feature - :::pamper, :::home, :::food, you get the picture. Have a genre you'd like to see featured? Leave a comment and I'll get to work! Now on to some honestly hot sustainable clothes!

1. Zelaya - Pebbles Top

This adorable top is made from organic cotton and features a scoop neck and raw edges. The "pebbles" are crafted from remnant fabric and then sewn on. How clever!

2. Flytrap - Feather Tee

You can throw this 100% organic cotton tee on with your rattiest jeans and gardening clogs, if you want to, but it will be equally at home with a pretty cotton skirt and leather sandals. It is "honest-to-goodness" preshrunk which will help to avoid those dryer surprises when your boyfriend/husband/roommate/brother does the laundry!

3. Infusion - Eco Toes

These adorable shoes are in limited edition so go snag them fast! Made with golden yellow organic cotton, lined with up-cycled linen so they are sustainable & stylish. The straps are secured with velcro and topped with a natural wooden button. The sole is a rugged natural hemp canvas. My tootsies could seriously slip into these right now.

4. Econica - Cranberry Coat

A beautiful, soft spring (or middle of winter here in PHX) coat in light cranberry. The outer shell is made with thick and plushy organic cotton fleece and lined with "LILLIES" print cotton jersey.

Happy shopping!
