Smart and Sophisticated in EcoSkin

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

With the growing abundance of sustainably produced fashion, why would anyone still be wearing the old staples like rayon, acrylic, and polyester (unless they’re recycled)? From sporty and casual basics to sexy evening looks, there is a collection for every type of green clothing you desire. Our goal at EcoSalon is to introduce you to as many eco-sensitive designers we can find.

So, without further ado, let me introduce ecoSkin. When designer Sandy Skinner launched ecoSkin last year, her goal was to create an eco-friendly women’s line that doesn’t compromise style. And that she did.

The collection offers sophisticated basics like this hooded knit wrap made of bamboo (above) that I would throw on for a casual brunch with friends and this Cook top in deep taupe (silk hemp blend with a natural shell button detail) that would be great for the office.

To craft these great pieces, ecoSkin imports bamboo from China, which is then spun into yarn in Los Angeles. Sandy does this so she can have the ultimate control over manufacturing standards and fair trade practices. All knit designs use a blend of bamboo, Tencel, and Spandex, and wovens are made from 100% bamboo. Each season Sandy plans to donate to One Percent for the Planet and Animal Actors Worldwide, as well as various other environmental and animal charities.
