Eco-friendly and Eco-fashionable

Wanting to be a fashionista and look your stylish best doesn't mean sacrificing when it comes to how you get those bargains home from the sale.  Nordstrom has a bag that not only looks good but makes you feel good about doing your part to recycle and reuse.

A richly detailed print of the Earth decorates the front of a tote created from recycled water bottles. The entire bag conveniently packs away into an included zip-top pouch.

• Magnetic-snap closure.
• Exterior zip pocket.
• Zip pouch snaps inside.
• Snap gussets.
• Recycled PET; machine wash.
• By Nordstrom; imported.

Upcycling at its Best!

After years of working in the fashion industry, the one topic that weighs on my mind most is this -- What happens to all that excess fabric waste? And what do we do with our clothing when we're done with it?  Is there a smarter way? 

I recently stumbled upon a company called Looptworks and they are diligently working to address those very same issues. They are a small group of industry veterans with years of experience at some of the biggest clothing companies in the business, who came together to make a change. Their business model is ground-breaking. 

They re-purpose abandoned materials into meaningful, quality products. And best thing about it... they are custom one-of-a-kind pieces. My inner hidden hipster just did a little dance.  Check out their website and specifically the page about Upcycling with them. How cool!!! www.Looptworks.com

Til next time, Get Stylers.
