Green Up Your Wardrobe

We’ve all heard the buzz lately about “going green” and doing our parts to help counteract some of the damage we’ve done to the planet: Drive less, walk more. Reduce your waste. Reuse what you can. Recycle, recyle, recyle. Honorable ideas, yes, but not always the most fun. Unless, of course, clothes shopping is involved! Many designers are hitching a ride on the green train and using recyled materials or organically-grown ones in their products, while others are donating money or planting trees for every item of clothing sold. Below is an overview of a few of The Clothes Gallery designers who are doing their part to help the environment.

Eco-Centric- Eco-Centric tees are made from 100% organic cotton and sport pretty prints of nature. The company will plant a tree for every tee sold.
Haley K- Haley K tees are made from 100% organic cotton and their eco-friendly messages help you show off your earth-friendly side.
Billy Blues- While not “green” in the most obvious way, all Billy Blues clothes are made right here in the US, eliminating cross-continent travel and saving tons of diesel fuel along the way.
Panda Snack- Panda Snack clothing is made from environmentally-friendly bamboo, one of the most resilient plants in the world. Not only does the fabric provide a pesticide-free alternative to cotton, the fabric is silky soft and antibacterial. Panda Snack will also donate part of their proceeds to panda preservation.
Pure & Co.- Pure and Co. is ahead of the curve when it comes to being environmentally friendly. The company is working to find a way to reduce carbon emissions, rely on solar power, and recycle scraps whenever possible.
Armand & Alba- Armand & Alba garments are partially recycled, with scraps of old sweaters woven in.
